Re: Kitchen Knife Shape Opinions
Not to hijack, but I see some knowledge in here about the subject so what the heck... I have some "Prairie Forge" kitchen knives I bought back around 1983. They say "Super Stainless Steel" and are made in Japan. I've always wondered who made them because I've been using the chef'...

America's Knife Glut...
I went to an indoor "flea market" type place the other day. Many venders, they have booth type areas. My wife looks for old Corelle, books and such. My eyes are peeled for knives and musical gear. This place was packed with 15/20/30 dollar junk China knives. There were thousands of them am...

They did their part as well.
Brilliant.

Dragonfly Salt 2; Sharp Holes ?
I ordered a Dragonfly for my wife and the hole is rather "edgy". My hands are tougher than hers, but even I noticed it. How would you ease that edge? I sorta did a search and didn't see anything, but I get side tracked easily.... It took Knifecenter 3 days to ship it, and then the Labor da...

Re: Friends of Hank... explain yourselves
I'm not bald but I wear a doo rag quite often because I have long hair that will go nuts if it's windy, and I also hate sweat in my eyes if I'm working outside.
But I never blow my nose in my doo rags.

Man, it looks like a grinder.
I usually just use cheap Harbor Freight files and whetstones for machetes, tools and whatnot.
The Sharpmaker is only for knives. Well, and my wife's scissors...

I wouldn't write Lee off just yet. Living for a dozen years around the Lake Charles, (La.) area taught me one thing.

Re: Holy smokes! what an awesome little multi tool!!
I've carried SOG multi-tools for 20+ years. First the Paratool and then the Power-lock, the old one without scissors.
I'm never without it.
