I like that faded look from the aquarium! Reminds me of the lovely "Ivory" Stretch from a couple of years ago, which I'm still kicking myself for not buying.

SpyOpera! Far prettier than Brouwer I reckon.

Apologies for my choice of words! I appreciate that special materials will cost more, and I don't mind paying more for metal that is superior in some way. My remark concerned the price difference between the ZDP Endura and the ZDP Stretch; possibly because the ZDP Endura was such a bargain, the less...

I don't care which blade shape it gets, I just hope it doesn't maintain the ZDP price strategy of being way more expensive than an Endura - for no discernible reason. FRN plus rip-off pricing ain't my thing.

Yes I realised just after posting that your Caribbean is going to have just as much blade as the Pacific... and the Caribbean is probably overall a nicer knife!
I have been trying to decide which one of these to get for a while - having concluded the Spydiechef is probably too posh for me.

What about that green Pacific Salt thing? Doesn't that have a longer blade in the same metal? (That said, the main reason dedicated kitchen knives tend not to be folders is cleanliness - any folding knife is going to accumulate gunge around the pivot, no matter how thoroughly washed. I admit it's fu...

I have a set of the non-folding Victorinox tomato knives and they're terrific! I don't know what metal they use but I am quite sure it's not the blunt-o-matic they use in Spartans etc. And if it is, for some reason they can be used every day at mealtimes and still be decently sharp years later. The ...

It's as clear as the day is short and grim that this colour is everyone's favourite... phthalo turquoise!
Though I haven't seen a blue K390 in person so it may indeed be "distinctive blue color"...

In its own plastic bag. (rolls eyes)

Cut more limes! It looks good.

My favourite knife right now is the MKM Root which is a titanium slipjoint. It's a smaller knife so the Ti just feels solid, rather than burdensome. It's such a well designed knife that the untextured metal isn't a problem either.

Lovin' the Spam and I don't even like Enduras!

I added up the MSRPs of all the seconds I bought at one sale and they totalled almost $3800.... The deals are just a bonus. Obviously if you're a big spender then those bargains add up and justify the travel expenses, etc. And I hadn't considered the social aspect - not often you meet a bunch of kn...

What's the Latin for "I put it in a safe place!" - cos it should be my family's motto!
These things always turn up eventually... and in this case, every time you look at that Swayback it'll take you Wayback.

I would see some houses with a sign that says “safe place” or something along those lines. This indicates that if Something bad happens a child has a safe place they can run to in an emergency. Yes this sounds like a good idea. The only problem is, who makes sure those places really are safe and no...

My 3 orange Victorinox Farmers from Cutlery shoppe disappeared in the post and never ever showed up. (That was ca 5 years ago!) Since that experience (and a couple of other misadventures) I really can't be bothered with shipping from the US.

It strikes me as bonkers to drive hundreds of miles just to save a few dollars on a knife!

Or a Stretch! Forgot about that one. Maybe getting bulky and heavy though.

Where I live, there have been several incidences recently of someone trying to drag school kids into a mini van. Naturally this is pretty upsetting as my daughter has a train ride/bike ride journey to school each day. My wife immediately purchased pepper spray and a portable alarm but my feeling was...

Increasingly I wonder why anyone bothers with bearings at all...they seldom deliver the glassy smooth action they're supposed to, and they just seem to add a layer of complexity and potential rust to a very simple mechanism. I actually find them a big turn off, when it comes to buying a knife. Not t...
