Every time I go to the mall I manage to be completely surprised by what I encounter. A few years back it was a custodian who looked exactly like Jame Gumb aka "Buffalo Bill" from "The Silence of the Lambs". Creepy.l I must admit, reading this from "Hannibal Lecter" rea...

From what I recall (and it may be wrong), in the factory: Hollow grinding is done using two grinding wheels, so both sides are done at the same time. Flat grinding (sabre or FFG) is done one side at a time. I think that because of this, a hollow ground blade is hardened symmetrically when you're loo...

Last I heard Boker Germany was working it out, they're fixing it and adding a clip, so I'd say we should hold on a bit more.

Chad c/p'ed a review from BB, then has more pics and videos of his own.

Very nice work Ted!

Small question: will the "real size" part be coming back? I really appreciated that bit whenever I was wondering how a knife would actually feel.

Disappear for a few days and this comes up! When I think of Lil' Temp I think: GREEN! Unique handle "Clean" blade (more later) Would prefer to have it the same green, I'd prefer something else over black though, grey or dark blue perhaps. One thing I found interesting about the blade was h...

Alex may be too modest to say this, but he has a very nice tanto design on his website that I'd definitely love to see made.

Ed, will the knife keep the spearpoint blade shape? Looking at my private picture :D ;) - it could also have a wharncliffe edge, which to me looks more appropiate for such a small folder. Any thoughts on that? Ted *Shakes fist at Ted* :p Ted, there is a slight curve to the blade giving a slight bel...

In a year or two you will also see the Balance. When the Balance is closed it is symmetrical; when open it has a strong positive rake to the one inch blade. This knife will be made as a steel frame lock with one G-10 scale. Are we talking about something along the lines of a micro-Khukuri (obviousl...

Think I've occasionally hassled Sal and co. for a reverse-S Byrd. Reasons being: 1) Cheaper for them to produce, but still good quality 2) Cheaper for the ELU to buy, they'd be more willing to buy a strange looking knife for $20 or 30 rather than $70-80. 3) Easier for us to gift them! 4) I think the...
