Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

[injunjack]

if you get a shotgun for home protection, choose one with barrell lenght max. 20".
Easier to point in corridors and other cramped places. I have a old Mossberg 500 with 20" barrell and that's easy to handle. Also in the bushes when I go hunting, which is very seldom these days.

@DougNg:

Last one for today, Chris Reeve Knives Nkonka, limited edition in 3v steel

Blade and handle are a single piece of steel for strength, hollow handle to accept the screwdriver set (but you can remove this to stuff your other things in there or leave it empty to reduce weight

reeve rocks!

Hey Doug…
Still any forward momentum on the IH knife brainstorming?

Haraki didn't want to do an IH knife, so that project has been cancelled

[Katsushin]

Oh well.
Now an IH bottle opener on the other hand…

Never heard of this guy.

Personally, I don't like the low sabre grinds

I also strongly dislike 440C steels. Sure, they're very corrosion resistant, but they don't keep an edge worth a damn

He does use carbon steels like 1095 and L6, which I do like, but most people don't care for carbon steel

[mvb]

ok thanks
this forum is so handy

edit. he does have an interesting link about 440c steel

i used to carry around knives from Cold Steel. does the job really well. it's really affordable as well. plenty of cool designs.

used SOG utility knives extensively in the Army. piece of crap really. gets rusty easily and can't take much of a beating.

sadly, pocket knives are banned in Australia at the moment. $1000 fine - straight up.

That is just wrong. I don't know how it is there but here all the "fiends" carry kitchen knives.
