Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades
-
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.
-
Doug, I strongly suspect you are correct with that statement.
I had to reign myself back from getting a bit silly, Sebenza's and Hinderer's were starting to get "googled" a bit too frequently.
Looking forward to receiving the Sage 3, positive reviews all round and should be a good tool.
Feeling a bit guilty at buying an expensive knife for cuting up Oranges at work during break times!

Nice dd! My first Spydie was in the early 90s. I remember seeing Cliffhanger in the theater and seeing Stallone whip out the exact model I had and stab someone with it. I only have one in the collection currently, as that one is long lost, but it sure did serve me well. Love my remaining Spydie. Looking to replace its G10 scales with ironwood.

Very happy for you Seul!!! Have you already ordered the Ti-Lock? If not, I see some new IH/Beer in your not so distant future.
-
Please give the Ti-Lock the love it deserves this time!
Congrats Bagz, glad you got your knife back!

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.
Please send a link to the manufacturer or the retailer's web site for this absolute beauty

Hiroaki Ohta. If you google this term it will show you his personal page as well as the many retailers online who sell his wares.
Enjoy! They shipped it yesterday I am anxiously awaiting this piece.
-
Ohta is top notch, you will not be disappointed, I have not handled another knife that has a better fit & finish.
-
Congrats Seul, that knife is hard to put down for sure.

I haven't seen the video, but wrist-flicking can fuck up a knife. If Chris Reeve receives one for maintenance and sees signs of it he will replace the affected parts and charge you for it.
