Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

Seul

My dad asked me to buy him a (cheap) pocketknife for random use… Bought him the Spyderco Cat G-10...

Definitely a solid choice. I'm sure he'll be a big fan if it.

Yep - he's a fan…

I'm looking for a Hinderer XM-18 3" for myself btw... If anyone has one for sale or has a lead... Preferably non-flipper, but doesn't matter much... Will keep an eye on Bladeforums B/S thread of course but they go fast on there... And mostly 3.5's for sale as of right now - too big for me...

There's an article at The Guardian about the author's relationship with his kitchen knives. It's an excerpt or precis from his book, and an interesting read.

I think I'll have to check out the book. That was a solid teaser.

@Seul have you taken a look at Rick's newer model, the Half Track - that he launched last year? Similar blade length but the handle is beefier and (I feel) much easier to maintain a solid grip with when in-hand. The production versions are starting to filter out now.

Bit too bulky imo… I see the XM-18 3" is available in stores now... Tempting...

I can take a shot of it next to a 3.5 XM if you wish to gauge size. It is really not that large compared to the 3".

Seul

Nah the 3.5 is too big for me…
