Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

^That'd be inception rust, right?

[Seul]

There's no rust on the blade itself, but inside the knife, on the inside of the lock… Just wondering what I should dip my swabs into to treat it...

[DougNg]

You don't treat rust. You remove it

Not sure how you can remove the rust from the locking mechanism without taking the knife apart

[Seul]

Yeah, and that's the problem… I wouldn't know how to open it, it only has one bolt with a screw on it on top... The others are round/ closed...

After debating the mnandi and small sebenza fir momths to be my first edc I just pulled trigger on a new small sebenza! Pretty jazzed

[Seul]

You'll love it… But why didn't you get a large one?.. You're a tall fella innit?..

[mclaincausey]

Small makes a better EDC IMO YMMV FWIW.

A larger knife is intimidating in office settings, regardless of the size of the carrier.

[tatmantall]

I am tall but didnt feel like that justifies a larger knife… I actually carried a few different cheaper knives of various sizes over the last year to decide which I size was most comfortable with carrying, using, and felt was most versatile in everyday use... My inclination took me in the direction of the smaller of the two.

[Seul]

All good - just wondering. Although the Seb is not office material IMO FWIW LYGAF…

Just stab your boss in the neck and DGAF…

[mclaincausey]

I wear this rig to the office. But then again, no one ever accused me of sound judgment.

[Seul]

It's because you're obviously the only one with good judgement working there…

Good choice! I've had one in my pocket off and on for about 10 years now and I have no regrets about it (them actually).

Do you all use the spyderco SM as suggested by reeve for your CRK sebenzas? Recieved the knife and overall I really like it but I can definetly say that the factory edge leaves a bit to be desired. Looked at a few different sharpening systems last night including the SM, wicked edge and edge pro. The wicked edge looks like it provides the ability to maintain the convex edge but im a serious noob to all of this and open ears to any suggestions or information.

[mclaincausey]

Yes.

Mine came extremely sharp though.

[tatmantall]

I'm thinking I might just send it in to CRK to have it re edged. Kinda disappointed its already having to be done the day after I got it but I guess thems the breaks.

[bagley920]

Both of my Chris Reeves have been extremely sharp when I got them and one was 2nd hand

[tatmantall]

Cool. Yeah it's definetly not "razor sharp" I've had knives of lesser price point with a much sharper edge. I mean, its sharp enough to cut cut through paper but at a considerable greater degree of pressure and the ideal ability to shave a hair is not even close to an option. I purchased it through action concepts, who is an authorized CRK dealer. I understand your knives are sharp and that's what I was expecting as well, I'm asking for advice on how I should handle it.. I don't really want to take a chance already sharpening it myself as its a $350 dollar knife that has been carried a total of 24 hours…

[bagley920]

The thing you gotta realize is that even though it may not be as sharp as others, it will prob keep the edge it has much longer than those lesser blades

Personally, I haven't found a sharpener I like that doesn't include the use of water, which is too much work
