This is a VERY cheaply built knife, so much so that it's barely worth keeping, let alone carrying. There's not even a pocket clip on it.

BUT, this combination of form and features is EXACTLY what I've been looking for (with a tip-up clip, that is) in a daily carry folder. The handle and finger protection is there, the blade and handle length fit a perfect middle ground for fighting and practicality, it even has a fuckin Emerson style wave that they don't even bother advertising.

Unlike most wave openers, this one is set VERY far back, is slightly oversized, and doesn't have anything forward of it (discs, pegs, etc) to prohibit getting your full blade length.

So if this wasn't so GODDAMN TRASH, I would call it perfect. I haven't seen anything yet, but if there is a brand-name, high(er)-quality knife that is basically this, PLEASE let me know.

I couldn't really argue the point.

Tell me more about this Hammer Brand knife my grandmother gave me. Is it worth anything?

Hi, I've been searching for a Japanese-made Chinese cleaver for a pretty long time and I think I finally found what I'm looking for. I'd really appreciate your thoughts on this, since it's a pretty hefty investment. Link

Thanks in advance!

And you'll never guess what kind of knife it is. Go on.

...

Yes, of course it's a balisong box cutter. Because it just is.

Update: And the .STL files are released! Get them here, along with assembly instructions, and other sundry bumf.

Okay, so it's not exactly an exciting custom collaboration with a big name manufacturer made out of a supersteel with rich exotic handle materials in a fancy matte box. That would require being considerably more involved with the industry than I am. Which is not at all.

Rather, this is a 3D printable utility/fiddle toy that's ripped off from just a smidge inspired by the Gerber EAB we were talking about the other day. Why doesn't anyone make a flipper like that?

So as our resident balisong expert, I just

I have an 8" chefs knife that I got from...... You know what, I don't remember where. Doesn't matter.

I want some new knives. Mainly a chefs knife, around 8" I guess? Good for slicing bigger cuts of meat and chopping veggi s like carrots, potatoes, broccoli, etc. Also a small knife that makes it easy to cut smaller cuts of meat meat. Is that a paring knife? Is there a 3 or 4" chefs knife? Also, suggestions on a sharpener? I have one of those cheapo pull through ones now. Does OK, but I'm. Sure it could be better

I have many knives that are pretty, elegant, exotic, or otherwise valuable. This... isn't one of them.

The fixed blade I bring camping these days has no make or model; it's an ugly abomination consisting of an eBay D2 blade blank, handle scales I made from a poly cutting board, and a Kydex sheath I knocked together for it. (I do have a belt loop for the sheath as well, but this bastard is a lot to have dangling from your pants, so these days I omit that and either loop it to my pack with that paracord, or just chuck it in my panniers.)

I use it to clear brambles and split firewood, mostly. Yes, I sharpen it with a belt sander. Sometimes it sees a little wire wheel action if I start to get rust spots on it. You have my permission to be suitably horrified.

Hullo! Could someone help me find a knife with the following:

• small (office duty, max 7cm long)
• Raw Ti scales
• pocket clip
• slip joint or lock with 2-hand opening

The target is to match look and size of a Reylight Pineapple Mini Ti.

Thanks in advance!

I've been EDC a CRKT Minimalist Spearpoint, and my trusty Civivi Elementum. The Spearpoint is new to me and I'm really liking it, very sharp out of the box and small enough that it doesn't come across as "threatening".

What have you got on you?

Why do I have to do a science experiment with lemon juice to know if the knife is stainless steel or carbon steel? Why is it not imprinted on the knife itself so I can verify before purchase? I just want my new knives to not rust after one use. My old knives that I have had for 14 years have not rusted at all. I had to get new ones because water was getting inside the handles of the old ones and would take forever to dry.
