Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades
-
Picked up two sujihiki knives for me and @Giles from Pellegrino Cutlery recently. Really great packaging with a band-aid hidden under the branded sticker!
The knives come in a handmade saya or blade cover is made from the same wood as the handle, which is Paulownia wood that was milled from a tree planted outside Steve's workshop by his grandfather.
Overall couldnt be happier, check out Steve's site here, if you are into this sort of thing. Helps that he is an Iron Heart fan too!

my humble carry, alox farmer and native. love seeing the variety and exotics in this thread!
-
Thanks @Matt ! I dig the silver alox with older style cross, so classic
-
I’ve been carrying it a lot lately. I like to keep it in my 5th pocket it I don’t when I’m wearing a belt since it messes up the bottom of the leather where the top of the knife sticks out. My 888 UHR don’t require a belt so extra pocket time.
It would be nice if inner knife pockets were standard in all IH jeans. Either that or #bringbackthebeatlebuster!

@mikebarhoot I bought a sap for my son with strap across the back of the hand.Really nice.
-
Mail call is good
Grabbed a Benchmade Adamas. All because I wanted to see what an American made knife is all about ¯\(ツ)/¯

Life is good!

Also got this Speedgoat from Montana Knife Company recently, thing is so light and sharp! Been carrying it on the inside pocket of my 526-PJ
-
Thank you very much @SKT ! Knives were my first love lol
Its the Native, 5 I think. can't recall since I've had it a while. -
I’ve had Chris Reece, Hinderer and Strider in my pocket over the last decade. But I always came back to my first “real” edc knife. The original Spyderco Manix, pictured here along with the Native Chief.
-
@Matt I have the same knife. Probably from 96 as well, when I was in scouts. I still have it!
-
I do a bit of leatherwork. I found it awkward to carry a leatherman everyday due to thickness. I did up this pancake Leatherman holster in 9oz (I think) veg tanned leather, hand saddle stitched with Kevlar thread. Treaded with beeswax and Obanaufs.
-
@coldcashandcolderhearts love that holster, nicely done!
-
Any recommendations for a killer pair of pruning shears? I figure the Japanese must be making some nice ones. I wasn't impressed with the results of my quick Google search.
-
@68degreesorless Felco #2 pruners. Have used them for years on the family’s Apple orchards. Completely rebuildable if needed and parts are easy to find.
-
@68degreesorless, thisoldtony on YouTube just did a video on a few types of pruning shears that was surprisingly good. Not his usual content. Might be helpful.
edited to add:
I realized he has another video about pruning saws and the one with shears has an nondescript title that's not obvious to find. Thought it might help to paste it here.
If it's not cool, mods please remove and note that the video title is "milwaukee" and posted a month ago.
