Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades
-
Not a pocketknife, but I thought I would throw this in here:
I got this for Jody last Christmas. Made in Japan, damascus, pakkawood handle. Between the thin bevel and my belt sharpener, this thing goes through meat/vegetables/bone like a lightsaber. The best part is the handle though. It feels like a well used piece of soap in your hand. No sharp angles at all, just super comfy

What's the make Dougng, off to Japan soooooooon…G
Giles, that is a Kershaw Shun knife from the Ken Onion design line. As far as I know, that particular brand has pretty good worldwide distribution. You'll be able to find it when you go to Japan, but you'd probably find it just as easily in higher end kitchen stores in the UK. I know that they are pretty common in nicer kitchen stores out here in the US.

Nice, the Spyderco UKPK is def a hot model right now
Went to Lowes over the weekend, was really tempted to buy another Sodbuster, but managed to resist the urge. At less than $20, it's hard not to justify having one around at all times (front door to open boxes, kitchen to open packaging/cut cooking twine, car just in case, office for envelopes/bagels). I just put one in each location
I much prefer the yellow handled ones with the carbon blades over the black handles with stainless blades though

Ok so I'm getting a Hubertus leverlock switchblade hopefully in the next week. Any thoughts?
I like those, they are fun to play with. Are they legal to carry where you live?

…mmmm not pursay.
LOL, I know a lot of people who carry autos and balis illegally as well.

I bought the Spyderco UKPK lightweight edition a few weeks ago from Handy Niknaks (no affiliation) after spending far too much time on the British Blades forum. Not bad for just under £47 including postage and legal to carry in the UK. Now I want a custom made Shing Crafts UK legal EDC but, after discovering IH, it might have to wait until next year!
