Re: New Kizer Ki5404A2
I have the slightly smaller model of this with a VG-10 blade, but same overall shape and handle design. I waited until they were offering tip-up carry clips, since they started out with mostly tip-down. I find their quality to be very good. They have the potential to be a major player in the knife w...

Re: Murray Carter's sharpening DVD's or downloads???
Yes, I have both of his recent books from the past couple of years.
I haven't gotten around to getting his videos, he does have a Youtube channel too.

Re: ZT
I like what they have done, especially with some of the newer models, as they are a little thinner blades than previous models were. I got into them mainly because of the Elmax blade steel option, since Spyderco only offered a dealer exclusive in it at the time. Can't wait to see what they will offe...

Re: Kizer Knives
Kizer is putting out some very high-quality knives. I have bought three of them in the past month and am quite impressed by the fit and finish of them. They are one of the best deals in the knife world right now too. All of mine have flippers, thumbstuds, and openback/flow-through construction: The ...

Re: Google Wallet
They are shutting it down soon.
Guess it didn't pick up enough users to justify keeping it around.

It is a shame to see them go... It is partly due to them not converting to the digital age fast enough. They really should have gone for being made available on the Amazon Kindle e-reader, among others. I recall only seeing the digital subscription available for the Nook e-reader from Barnes and Nob...

I picked up one of the CQC-6Ks too. I don't care for a lot of the usual features on Emersons, but they got this import line just right. I do like the ergonomics on most of the Emerson knives, but I don't care for the chisel grinds or chisel edges. (Well, not counting the too short screw problems in ...

I have both. The Knockout I have is the first generation with the thin G10 handle scales. They went with aluminum after these. I find the handle to be too thin, I do like the blade shape though. I really like the Piston. The handle feels really good. Mine has a weaker spring-opening action then the ...

Yes, for the most part, forums and the various social networks have replaced knife magazines for me too. I still subscribe to Blade because it is fairly good for an overall view of the knife industry. It only costs $20 a year for the digital subscription too. I wouldn't want to see it go out of busi...

I have to agree with the general thought shared in the previous posts of this thread: It is tricky business to try to educate someone that doesn't know any better when it comes down to quality cutlery. I recently noticed that a guy on my bus route started carrying a cheap, no-name Delica/Endura knoc...
