I've got a play thing for indoors and she's not illegal….........

[Seul]

She's a fecking thief though!..

@Seul:

Yeah - edited my post a bit late but that's what I meant…

I'll get a cheaper one, Doug... But then I don't think you really need to service a butterfly knife... It's not as if I'm gonna carry it... Just a plaything for indoors...

Sometimes the pins will wear out

Mine got very loose…

Discovered this nice item a few years ago - funnily, they are manufactured just around the corner and are rather cheap. I really love that maritime inlet.

[Guest]

i dig^^^^^^IT  of course

[Pomito]

Of course you do!

Strange enough that those knives have no real relation to anything seabound - the next shore is roughly 400 km away.  Anyway: Perfect tools for posers like me!

That's a cool knife brother , Casey at Self Edge has the same one

I went to the BLADE show this past weekend and picked up some real beauties! Fred Perrin, Bob Terzoula, production Emerson, Brad Zinker, also picked up some William Henry. Great show!!!!

[Seul]

Nice stuff from the looks of it!.. Any chance on separate pics and a short description of each knife?..

[DougNg]

I'm jealous

Last couple times I was at Blade, I wound up spending most of it behind Jerry Hossom's table shooting the shit with him

You get to see the new Zero Tolerance 0777?

[Giles]

Looks like you even managed to buy some money….Good price?

Nah, not with the current exchange rates but it does showcase the Perrin money clip well. I'll try to get some better pics tomorrow. The Terzoula is pretty damn slick.

So, the first two to review are the William Henry EDC and the Perrin necker. The Perrin is what I believe to be 1095 carbon steel hand forged by Fred himself. It is Wickedly sharp and because of the edge geometry, is a real slicer. At $50 with a lyres sheath, it was my deal of the show. The William Henry is an AG Russell collab and features a hand rubbed D2 blade and anodized aluminum slabs with mammoth ivory inserts. It has a nice thin profile and like the Perrin is a really great performer. D2 is one of my favorite steels and if treated right, is hard to beat. The button lock and action are smooth as silk. I would say this knife is easily comparable to the CRK Mnandi without reservation.

That price is ridiculous though, Alex…

Anyone with some advice on how to properly sharpen a Sebenza, btw?.. I was thinking of shipping mine to Chris to have the clip replaced and have it sharpened... I have a small sharpening block but it doesn't do very much...

Seul,

You're probably best off with a V jig system, like a Lansky or a Spyderco Sharpmaker

I used a Sharpmaker for years before I learned to freehand sharpen on a belt sander

[Seul]

I heard about you using a beltsander, you nutter!.. 

Will be purchasing that Spyderco Sharpmaker - many thanks!..

[zhivago]

I went for the lansky and am pretty satisfied with it.  It's not (or I am not) particularly quick, but I'm really happy with the edges I have been able to get using it.
