my new letter-opener…

[Jord]

@AdamJ Haha yes I knew what you meant! I'm interested to see pics when it arrives

@Makarwise UK knife law is just crazy. On my list of "cons" for ever moving back to Blighty

[Makarwise]

@nurunuru Yep. Mostly just silly. The suits don't understand knives as the majority won't have any history of using them. Bans and legislation generally make it harder for tool users - a knife for crime just needs to be pulled out of any kitchen block.

Not happy... I've opened this thread 5 minutes ago and now I'm shopping for knives.

Well, this bench made mini adira just somehow showed up at my door this morning…

Giving the autos a drink

And after 10 minutes on the wicked edge, the Benchmade Narrows is a light saber once again

New knife day yesterday, there is a store here called KNifewear that sells Japanese knives mostly, they were running a program to trade in your old Japanese knife for a gift card worth 50% of the current value of it, so traded in my Fujimoto Nashiji for a Shiro Kunimitsu Bunka, maybe not a 1 for 1 trade in size but after using it last night a smaller Bunka (160mm) is a nice replacement for a petty

@Ikeaparty in Ontario and have shopped there online.

This past weeks pick ups…

[Ikeaparty]

@goosehd The guys are so great, I guess the equivalent to knives as Japanese denim heads, but also lots of great kitchen tools!

A customer and UK based knife maker Canton Cutler reached out to see if we'd like a knife sample. He used his 21oz off cuts to make the handle!

@AdamJ That's incredible, I love the bell logo on the blade too

[SKT]

@AdamJ I mean obviously you guys need to commission a run of these. It’s awesome

[AdamJ]

@Jord @SKT SBG handle on my agenda next

[Anesthetist]

I wish I had bought the previous IH knife w the 21oz micarta handles

[mclaincausey]

@AdamJ this would be a brilliant program to offer the forum: send in samples of your own aged IH denim for a custom micarta handled knife. Next level custom knife there.

WANT !

[AdamJ]

I will let you know once I've got some more details. We'll see what we can do!

Picked up this cool little Rivery OTF box cutter and am loving it. You open it manually by sliding forward a handle scale but when you pull back on it, it SNAPS back with authority. Great little fidgety tool.

@Ikeaparty is that a Larch Wood cutting board? Looks just like the ones I have.
