Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

[michaeljcr]

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.

^not automatic

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

Ok, I think I'm convinced I need a Chris Reeve knife. Someone tell me where the best selection can be found…

[DougNg]

Unfortunately, I don't think they're sold anymore

Is the Large Sebenza too big for EDC?

[Seul]

Nah I don't think so… I have a small one cause I have girl hands, but I'm sure the large one isn't too much at all... Really a discrete piece the Sebenza...

Fuck I miss mine... Only about three more weeks...

It's a big knife, really depends on you and what your looking for. The Ti-Lock is my favorite CRK

[DougNg]

Truenorthknives.com also has a good selection

As for size, depends on your intended use and what you're comfortable with. For extended use, I like a 3.5"-4" blade. That's if I'm cutting stuff for more than ten minutes. Most tasks can be handled with something smaller. If you're only going to cut your sandwich in half or open a box or two, 2.25"-3" is what I use

Smaller knives are also easier to carry and alarm people less
