Yeah, my wife stole mine, too!

Ha! I got my Mrs a Dragonfly Tattoo and it sits in her handbag, unused.

In a house full of knives I catch her running around looking for bloody scissors to cut things.

You can lead a horse to water....... :rolleyes:

I no way this is about to "turning every folder into a backlock" or "to get every folder in a backlock version additionally to the existing version with another lock", BUT: ........................... I've encountered this issue with many threads. It seems like people look at th...

Well, that explains a lot. Think of all the fluff I could have landed if I’d had a manly knife in my pocket. Here I was thinking it was my rough head.

Thanks Rusty, you’ve made my day.

Placing a knife under the bed of a woman giving birth is believed to ease her pain during labor. Hard to confirm as knives aren’t allowed into hospitals here. :rolleyes: This reminded me of Irish faerie folklore. To ward of changelings you placed a knife in the crib of a child or bed of an adult. K...

Long-time lurker, first time poster: I've been EDCing a Para 3 FRN since the end of April, when they became available and I ordered one. I have found it to be an excellent everyday knife, and I love the wire clip that allows me to carry it much more discretely than my Paramilitary 2 - which isn't r...

Gotta be the Caly 3.5 LW...

I feel you mate. Any day now.....

That Lum tip gives me flashbacks. Many an hour grinding away at new knives to get a perfect bevel. When I think of all the wasted steel :( Over grind at the heel doesn’t faze me too much at all Tim, Tips are another story altogether. The very tip is slightly over ground and slightly rounded which b...

I’ll get rid of my factory edges one day. :) 3/16”-1/4” over grind at the heel. (ZDP-189 Stretch 1) https://i.postimg.cc/0NQXcTfd/746-B888-E-FF46-4-DC6-A837-9-BB35-BA077-D1.jpg And a bit at the tip. (VG10 Large Lum) :eek: https://i.postimg.cc/4Ns58C47/38-BD2-A90-1-C12-4-A2-B-A105-1210-BFCEA137.jpg ...

All this talk of fancy stones.
Where I’m from, you haven’t ‘arrived’ in the knife scene until you can achieve hair popping edges from a humble house brick, stropped on the bottom of the wifes feet.

Voted yes because in the last couple years I've gotten lazy thanks to the Sharpmaker and I just micro bevel everything until it's thick enough to reprofile. I used to take a new knife and immediately reprofile it on my Edge Pro but it has been years since I bothered. They really should call it the ...

I feel the same way Lance. In, 100%

Just noticed the lightweight has 7 large serrations while the SS model has 8.

Hi Wartstein, I figured you’d be on board. I would prefer a full set of teeth. The current 8 large serrations on my Endura is perfect. Everything can stay the same, just ffg

Hi Doc, CQI, spot on.

Do you reckon we’ll ever see the standard lightweight model Endura in SE ever move from sabre to full flat grind? I’ve been persisting with my serrated Endura and whilst I still prefer a plain edge, I’m almost ‘there’ with serrations. That bloody sabre grind isn’t doing it any favours though. We’ve ...

I’ve gone through brief periods of dedicated grip training but never for long really. I used a gripper after hand surgery a year or so ago and had planned to get some CoC’s but never got around to it. Most of my grip work has been through deadlifting or deadlifting accessory work like barbell suitc...

CPM154 and green canvas micarta

This would get me interested. Great combo

I have seen you and others mention choking up on the ricasso and I cringe every time :eek: A ricasso is not a viable alternative to a choil in my opinion. Maybe if I was only whittling matchsticks. Whatever works for you mate :) :) Thanks! But, really, wether I wanted to "convert" you, no...

I’m a fan of the choil, I’d love the delica/endela/endura to get a choil but would prefer to see the blade fill the handle. Yes on the handle-filling part (though on the Endura (other than on Delica /Endela) the blade fills the handle quite ok) On the choil: I´ve said it many times before: The Rica...
