Re: Victorinox going bladeless

I think Victorinox is chasing an untapped market and revenue, which makes sense from a business perspective. I’m disappointed however how they phrased the news.They basically agreed with the loonies that a Swiss Army Knife is a weapon, instead of a tool. They could have communicated this a lot bette...

Re: Community Sharpening Journal

Resetting the bevels of our kitchen knives with the Tormek. I'm still mastering the technique, but I'm quite pleased with how easily I could get a uniform and clean edge on all of them.

Re: Gayle Bradley 2 CQI?

Grease and dirt? Starting to rain? Time to pull out the GEC Northfield Un-X-Ld 735208 Trapper in Almond Bone. Great feel, high spring tension, good working knife. 🙂 Beautiful! I recently bought a GEC #23 Pioneer Trapper, the larger version of the #73, in what they call "woodland micarta"....

Re: Why is the Kapara so overlooked ?

I skipped the Kapara, based on looks… The open and closed profiles do not appeal to me, both the handle shape and drop point blade shape. I also prefer a negative blade angle, and this design goes the other way.

It is a popular design so I must be missing something!
