Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

Knife Show today! To go or not to go? Hiroki Ohta will be there so I may have to attend.
I really want one of those friction folders and they are pretty reasonable IMO.
Exactly
-
There a new Spydie Southard. Shit!

I saw a couple of Unique Sebbies that made my trigger finger very itchy.

Gun show Nov. 30th, no Sebenza's though. I'm sure I'll come home with something cool…I hope.
-
So yeah… Seven months ago I got a Ti-Lock and due to it not working for me immediately, I got rid of it. Well: I'm getting another one. Now that my Sebbie's gone, I will have to spend more time with it. Not to mention that it still is one of the nicest looking knives I've ever seen…
I almost bought one Saturday. So tempting…..
-
Glad to hear was shocked when you got rid of it last time. IMO it is CR masterpiece. I have had every model of his knives and the Ti-Lock was the only one that blew me away.

Sick harpoon swedge.
Speaking of harpoon swedges, just got off the phone with Dave Curtiss after seeing this little one-off on USN. S35VN blade, love the filework on the backspacer. It's soon to be mine, he's invoicing me this evening:
-
That's pretty damn cool mac
-
Jeff, those Ohta's are sick…
-
I have had many knives way to many to list; out of embarrassment.
I have finally found my knife maker of choice and it is Ohta. His fit and finish is second to none and his knives are practical for me. I highly recommend checking him out. IMO you can't get a better non-tactical knife for the price.
-
I carry this old Case from D a lot. I love not only the knife but its old supple leather belt sheath. Tonight's carry.
-
Love how Japanese this Ohta friction folder is. Hamon line? Ironwood? Carbon fiber backspacer? Immaculate construction? Killer pocket sheath? Yes please. My next compact EDC. This was something I have looked at for a while but for some reason was too dumb to cop, even at its very fair asking price. Really glad the universe kept her in place for me.

^nice addition… that hamon is legit
-
Never owned a pocket knife before but have just ordered one up for use at work. Got fed up with cutting up fruit with a blunt table knife!
Having read though this thread and done some other internet research it looks like Spyderco seem to be a good starting point for quality and value.
I have ordered a "Sage 3", nice looking blue scales, handy size and relatively easy to keep sharp.
Will post some pictures once it lands.

Good choice! Spyderco has been and continues to be one of my favorite production brands.
