Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

Eli I have a Startac Umnumzaan coming this week. The Ti Lock is a tremendous knife however it does not have the durability of a Umnumzaan or Sebenza it's more of a gentlemen's carrier.

At almost 9" it's too big for me… But beautiful piece...

Gonna pretend I didn't see that

Heh heh heh heh heh…

I'm sure you can handle it, Eli.

[Seul]

Shit… I walked right into that... Teared up eyes...

[DougNg]

How can that be? The overall length of the knife is 8.45"

[Seul]

As I said: almost 9"… Small Sebenza is max length for me...

[bagley920]

He's adding that extra half inch as most guys do;)

^^ avoid imho. the stuff looks like cheap imports being palmed off as something its not.

Just had a quick look on Britishblades.com - lots of negative thoughts there for Perkins! Ah well, I just bought a a kukri or three from Himalayan Imports, so I've had my fix for the time being.

got this beauty today. those who read the heritage post might have seen the article about this knife in edition no. 2/2012 on page 144. The blacksmith, Yannick Epiard builds the blades from railing steel dated 13th-15th century, which he found in the cathedral in Reims, France…wow...he got the inspiration of this "piemontais" from an extremely rare find from diggings near a cathedral in London, which seems to be the oldest known pocketknife to date.

A knife from the middle age, back to the roots guys

I like Mr Reeve's attitude and demand for perfection into his knives. Wow, thx for sharing Shane

[thomasnunnally]

That knife is really neat Davito, would really like to see it in person!

CRK had a DVD set that followed the manufacture of their folding knives and their fixed blades that was pretty fantastic. Really interesting stuff. Even went into Chris' life history
