Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

[Seul]

It's a very good knife!.. Too big for me to handle comfortably, but the best introduction knife…

[summ3rhays]

Thanks Seul.  Yeah I went for the Delica vs the Endura because of size.  Time will tell though if it's too big for me too.

New Krein addition…

Picked up my first pocket knife recently, Spyderco Sage 3.  So far very impressed by it.

I am using it at work for cutting up fruit at break times, complete overkill for this task but I am enjoying owning a nice knife that is easily capable for what I need it for.

Being a Brit, owning and carrying a pocket knife is not really in our culture.  My Wife was pretty shocked when the knife was used on Christmas day for dealing with some of the more stubborn present wrapping and packaging.  I joked with her that I had bought it to deal with the Turkey!

Being new to all this, what kind of lubrication would use for the blade pivot?

[derivative666]

Wasn't the town of Sheffield known for their knife makers?

Doug

your knife and cutlery history is absolutely spot on.

Sheffield has a long history with steel, mainly domestic cutlery.

In 1912 a Sheffield based gentleman called Harry Brearly working for the "Brown Firth research lab" developed stainless steel.  It was originally developed for making guns but the materials suitability for cutlery became apparent and the Sheffield cutlery industry was born.

First impressions?..

[pillowPANTS]

1. WOW
2. Feels fuckin heavy duty (not heavy, but tough as nails)
3. Fit and finish are fantastic (first CRK for me)
5. Lil bigger then i like for an EDC, but its too awesome to put down
6. Love the sound it makes on lock up
7. Detent is too strong if ur fingers r on the lock bar. Need to reposition my "opening grip" to make it open easy. Once i figured that out its all butter

[Seul]

The opening will smoothen after some use.

[pillowPANTS]

Its easier already and i can flick it open with just my thumb (not wrist) so that is great. But its only because i hold it differantly then i normally would. If there is any pressure on the lock bar it will hold detent tighter and in turn make it harder to open. 3 friends tried opening it so far and all 3 had a hard time

[mclaincausey]

Definitely avoid wrist action but it has a great detent for thumb flicks.

Glad you're happy with it, love CRK.
