Hi Raven, I’ve purchased about 7 Emerson’s over the years and I can tell you that the newly made ones are superior in action, detent strength and lockup. I still experience lock stick but it seems to break in and go away. The grinds are beautiful and the finished is pretty good. I say pretty good b...

Thanks for the responses. I guess the rumors I heard are just rumors. Fit and finish is apparently the same (lacking to the point it hurts the function).

Anyone purchase an Emerson folder lately? I purchased a few about 8-9 years ago. I liked the designs but the fit and finish was on the poor side (l took them apart when cleaning and had trouble getting them back together due to the poor fit). I heard Emerson’s fit and finish have improved significan...

So I did a search on rust prevention for high carbon blades, and found a ton of information...too much information in a way.

If someone wants a good high carbon rust preventer...
1) food safe (won’t go bad)
2) dry (not oily or sticky)
What are people using these days?

Thanks

Chuck Norris is so strong, when he does a push-up, he doesn’t push himself up, he pushes the earth down.

Hello, Anyone use it? So the instructions say, use the 25 degree setting on pocket knives and 20 degree setting for kitchen knives. Those angels sound off to me??? I guess if I’m sharpening lower end steels those angles are good? 440a, etc? What if I’m sharpening tougher/stronger/harder steels? Vg10...

I didn’t read all the posts....just the OP.

Good.

Didn’t native Americans carry neck knives for...thousands....tens of thousands of years??? Definitely not a fad.

Hello all,

What do you think of Mr. Perrin’s little knife called the
“mini pic” ???

I think in WWII they called this type of knife a tire slasher?

Could it be a decent little necker for normal type stuff?

Thanks

Ok. Did a quick search...it does look like 5160 might be a good comparison. I’d be happy with a hand forged knife, at these prices, in this steel.

That dagger looks impressive.

Have not looked at the makeup of the steel. It sounds like a relative of 5160 ?

Those prices seem a little too good?? Perhaps I’m wrong? Good quality and a very reasonable price?

Anyone heard of them? Any good?

They have good reviews on Amazon, but I doubt those reviewers have the experience of those around here.

Thanks

I’m a big fan of the Swick design! They really are highly functional. I can definitely see a run of 500 selling; EDC fixed knives just don’t have the broad appeal EDC folders have with the masses though. —A wharncliffe or subtle hawkbill would be a nice blade shape. LC200N might be my first choice f...

LOL. I agree 100% with this!

$795 for little beads and coins? Sorry, I’m a newbie here, but can I ignorantly ask.... why? My theory is that some people have enormous amounts of disposable income and WAY too much free time on their hands. I picture some guy or girl who invented a video game app that they sold for 20 million dol...

I bought a street beat a couple years ago. It’s a wonderful, gorgeous little fixed blade. Fred Perrin, Sal and Moki are an amazing combination. Now that it’s been discontinued, I couldn’t help but purchase a second one (I had to. There was no other choice ).

Also, I have to imagine, for anyone with machining skills, these would be really easy to copy and sell on eBay.

I'm amazed that anyone would pay what pretty much any of Mr. Frankart's silly trinkets have sold for. Guess the old saying "a fool and his money are soon parted" still holds true. https://www.arizonacustomknives.com/index.php/knives-by-maker/frankart-andy.html?p=1 ****.

Al Mar was a fantastic designer of knives! —Looking forward to what comes!!!

I can’t fathom the price of this thing.

This thread is kind of humorous. The OP asks for suggestions and gets a really wide variety of suggestions, then goes and doesn't take any advice. What in the world are you talking about??? Skidoosh recommended CNET for reviews. I took Skidoosh's suggestion. Now I'm happy. Donut your postmakes no s...
