I usually carry 2. H1 SE spyderhawk is my ultimate beater. If I need to do something dirty, possibly damaging, or someone asks for a knife. Also helps for cutting really tough or fibrous materials and it can't rust. My other knife is usually a PE knife. Mostly a military, autonomy 2, yojumbo, or Kri...

Coffee date with the wife.

ZDP 189 must hold up well. If I put it away hair whittling sharp it stays that way until I pick it up again. Most of my 1095 knives get covered in mineral oil for storage and they stay sharp. For those I usually finish them on the dmt blue/coarse stone. If this happens it must be very very minimal. ...

The sharpest was definitely my Jess Horn ZDP lightweight. It whittled hair from the factory. Of course the masses can't corroborate my claims because it was a sprint from long ago. Just trust me it was the sharpest.

98 cattle. I have a 2 of the 98 whittlers. :cheap-sunglasses Here's a shot in my homemade light box. [img]https://i.imgur.com/6GjSHIt.jpeg Nice one! My only three blade GEC is this #35 all steel construction cattle knife. PXL_20230801_003752449sm.jpg I am somewhat partial to the all steel tradition...

Nice. Those are big boys. Is that the whittler pattern?

I also vote for the condor golok. Been having mine for a few years now. Easy to touch up and it's sturdy enough to chop with. For big knives I usually use busse or carothers. Cleared a few downed trees a few yrs ago with the carothers medium chopper. I couldn't tell you how much I've cleared and cho...

Darn Dao but in 3V or 4V with micarta scales.

My most used is probably my military as of late. But I rotate between the CF S90V and the S30V version. Another favorite is my spyderhawk and it's carried essentially every day and everywhere I can carry it. Kris is also a favorite that I use mostly on the weekends now because I work around caustic/...

S90V PARA 2 Teal G10. If that's not a hot piece at the price the HQ of blades has them at then I don't know what is. If you want something to actually use anyway. The light color scales would lend themselves well to Rit dye too.

I thought it was the 4th of July

Christmas in July

The original C-27 jess horn. Highly unlikely but I'd buy at least 2.

I take off the clip and that's it. After dying rinse it in hot water and slowly move to cold water. If you wear it iwb and sweat a lot you may get some bleed off on your skin for a week or so.

I use a dmt diafold serrated knife sharpener. It's like the files you used but diamond. It was my first way to sharpen serrations but now I use it to fix damage.
