Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

[babyknight]

Have been looking for a while to get a good quality all-purpose folding knife to keep at home - no specific purpose for it in mind, but want something with great craftsmanship that I can use for various things.

Seems that Sebenza knives are very highly regarded - any Sebenza model in particular that people recommend?

Was also looking at the Zero Tolerance G10.  thanks!

Just a good ole regular Sebenza (21) will do… Can't say I'm won over by the looks of the 25... So: depending on how big you like a knife, only question is "small" or "regular" sized one...

Check out Emerson too or Benchmade…

Thanks Seul and Blackheart.  A small knife will be fine for me, so very tempted by a Sebenza 21 especially as they make a lefty model…

Will check out the ones you mentioned Blackheart.

I really like my strider smf flamed Ti concealed carry 3.5" blade very sturdy

3.5" blade is not exactly a small knife though innit… Unless you're a Yeti...

I have an SMF and an SnG, Striders aren't exactly around the house knives but it depends on the person.

Nice Seul. I'm looking for a para soon.

Nice spydies gents. Spyderco really started my obsession with sharp stuff and I'll always love the bug.

So I put the knife into a Granny (the apple variety, not the elderly kind), then treated it with cider vinaigre… Overdid it, of course, and there are some rust marks here and there... Oiled it at work (spray) and it works like a charm... Also getting used to the opening... The knife really fits a lot better than the Delica as it's slightly smaller...

Personally am a big fan of the hot sauce patina!

What should I do to treat the rust though?.. I cleaned off the vinegar with water but immediately dried it of and placed it in the sun to dry… Very sensitive li'l thing  :-\

[derivative666]

Not sure how to clean the rust but, if it t's carbon steel patina it immediately so it doesn't get brown rust patina=rust

Could you use punctuation?.. My head hurts… And I don't understand...  :-\

1. Clean blade with soap and water
2.  Dry off blade.
3.  Pour hot sauce on blade
4.  Let sauce sit on blade for 2-5 hours
5. Clean off blade with soap and water
6. Dry off blade
