Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

[Chris]

I have some basic stainless steel chopsticks and while they don't have as much grip as bamboo, they're not slick at all.  And they're way better than the restaurant grade plastic ones I have.

I'm curious how much lighter titanium ones are than steel- mine are pretty light.

My main gripe with metal chopsticks is the heat conductivity if you use them to cook.

My second gripe is the way they feel against my teeth when I accidentally bite on them. I favor plastic or disposable wood myself

Hey all.  Can anyone tell me if I’ve got real cf here or peel ply?  The 52100 Para 3 was advertised as peel ply but the cross section and the interior seem to suggest otherwise.  Real cf and 52100 for $150 seems like a steal to me.  Thoughts?

[Matt]

I figured it out.  The texture is peel ply over solid cf, unlike the cf peel ply over G-10.  Mystery solved.

Nice knife either way…

@chris. I can weigh mine. Individually and set. 1 of them seems a bit heavier.

Yeah, probably not.

Benchmade kind of screwed over Doug Ritter with the Rittergrip plus their recent drama has got me reticent on adding anymore to my collection.

A shame, the Bugout and Bailout look pretty nice.

Was with my knife nut cousins in Nashville last weekend and we did a “gray turd” roll call

Mine is the small Sebbie with indigo stains. I love my Sebs but that Inkosi is really something else.

Of course we went knife and gun shopping and I picked up this BM Aller. Pretty different from the rest of my collection but it’s a neat little tool.

I’m surprised. I thought that was outside your size range

[Seul]

I know!.. It's actually only .4 (giveth or taketh) of an inch longer than the native… And it definitely works so I'm happy...

So there are 2 custom knives in Paris right now, and I went to both. Yesterday I went ro the SICAC, which is clearly not what it used to be. Today I went to the FICX, where a number of fancy makers were displaying. I bought 2 knives, both by Jen Anso, a maker I’ve been looking at for a while. The knives are a semi custom chef’s knife in bog oak, and a custom slipjoint (Casino) in bronze.

Stunners!!!

The chef's knife is astonishingly beautiful…
