Now what about the knives makers?

Dust goes everywhere....

It is a risk for knife makers but they should be wearing respirators.

I have zero concerns about doing food prep with a knife with cobalt in it.

I generally make a habit of not licking my sharpening stones when I’m done.

But I do lick my blades to clean them after a lunch !!! . :-D

The inhalation issue is more for miners or people in an industrial setting using grinders. If you're going to take a powered sharpening system to a blade, you should probably use a respirator, but I doubt you'll be making significant amounts of airborne dust with stones or strops. That's a good rul...

I think a lot of the data comes from exposure to pure cobalt, whereas the amount of cobalt in a knife blade is only a small part of it's ingredients. Hap40 is the same as Rex45, and it's used in Japanese kitchen knives. Maybe the chefs out there know something about it's hazards or safety. For anyo...

No, you won't get cancer by using CPM-REX45 but, there is a "but": is the use of any high Cobalt steel asking for more care about the way we use it. The question has shined after I had posted my last review on the Tree Rex, a Shaman exclusive run using the CPM Rex45 high cobalt steel. http...

Number 15 here.... But I know who is number one !! :-D

Late at the party? https://nemoknivesreview.files.wordpress.com/2019/08/20190809_1529103782377073990603197.jpg?w=948 My two cents. Easy to convex and to bring to razor. Very very very nice in whittling. Same 'oily' feelings than 52100 Exactly the opposite experience than with my old ats34 Sebenza wh...

Hi Nemo, Yes, that was our first ad. There were two ads with the Cheetah. The first used photographs and the second one was drawn. (shown above). The Khalsa ad was released about 9/11. There was also a poster made. We ended up pulling the ad and parking the poster because of 9/11. Though Jot is a S...

Thanx Nemo.

Good stuff. I'm carrying the FRN Protoype. The perfect knife for me. Probably illegal in most jurisdictions.

Always my pleasure Sal ! Next classical review would be on the Mariner ! We miss you here in Europe ! ;-)

And risky marketing !!! :-D

I'm surprised how it disappears in the pocket in tip down carry. Now... it is "really" not political correct !!

Thank you ! JD ! :-)

Found it !!
(And a lot more !!)

And the glue on the new one is not really good too...

If you ever find that one in black and white with the cheetah on it.
I think if was in 1990....

Guilty pleasure...

Hello, I always been haunted by the Police and even more by the Rookie. But every model I have tried back in the 90's was very slippery (but easy to slip inside the pocket) and with some "serious" vertical blade play I do not like. The wait is over. I have found a great deal on a Police Ve...

Hello, I was looking for an old advertising showing a cheetah and the very first Police model for my C07 review. When I have found some very old (even the first I believe) Spyderco ads in a magazine ! https://nemoknivesreview.files.wordpress.com/2019/02/capture-decc81cran-2019-02-19-13.00.18.png?w=6...

And now here is my adventure in swapping the blades !!
