Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

@Seul:

Damn it… 186 $... I'm massively tempted 

I was tempted by this also and I'm sure that Hattori-san's knives are top quality and excellent craftsmanship….. I'm not really too experienced with knives, especially ones you have to clean and take care of.  So I got that one on ebay for about 25$.  Still handmade by some Japanese guy and will work for it's intended use of cutting stuff/being in my pocket.

^^^Seul I couldn't resist. I ordered the Higonokami by Ichiro Hattori this morning. I should have it mid next week. This knife blew me away!

Me neither. Haven't cleaned my Sebenza once. It's 2+ years old. Could you link me to where you got the 25 $ version, mate?..

d666: how much was shipping?.. Where do you live?..

[scroogen]

Just from what I've read on the internet (which is not much) people make it seem like you must clean these knives and take care of them or they will rust or get damaged…. I will put mine to the test!

Wow, those are nice!

I hate it when they add a donation option to the "Pay Now" page… For horses?.. Damn it, out of another fiver

Higonokami by Ichiro Hattori

[Seul]

Looks fab!.. How is the weight?.. Easy to open?..

[derivative666]

Weight is solid for what it is. Blade is insanely sharp. Much sharper then Sebenza. Very difficult to open it is very tight. This is a beautiful, no frills, minimalist EDC
