I just received the Wiha 79242 10 piece Torx set along with a Wiha 28103 1/4 Bit Holder (stubby) that was ordered a few days ago. I was so impressed with the quality after using a few of the bits that I ordered the Wiha 79246 Bit Selector with Hex Inch Bits which has sizes for most of my scope/ring ...

order placed / off the fence / tired of junk

Based on this thread and threads on other forums over the years I finally took the plunge. I just ordered the Wihia 79242 10 piece Torx set along with a Wiha 28103 1/4 Bit Holder (stubby). All just under $30.oo shipped from the big A store.

It's one of my most carried knives but I have the plain edge. Great lil allrounder. I also find the H1 easy to keep razor sharp and it holds it's edge pretty well.

Just saw this thread today / question for some of you folks

I am very curious as to how many of you who knew this price seemed in error happened to bring it to the attention of KnifeCenter? It seems odd to me that folks appeared all excited to try and take advantage of a price that most felt was in error to start with. You guys know, shiny footprints and all...

Do you notice big differencies from stretch 2 and PM? I know nothing on S30V steel...is it easy to sharpen like vg10? The PM 2 seems more substantial to me. I find I am equally bad at sharpening all steels. Seriously all of my knives stay sharp with the help of a Sharpmaker and a strop. If you go t...

Finally Ordered One Of The Classic Spyderco Knives

I have been stuck on 15 Spydies for some time now. Here lately I have been buying more traditional old style knives than modern day designs. While looking at slipjoints last night I decided to check out an old favorite website. Low and behold the Camo Military was on sale for a decent price. She wen...

Great looking knife. I'm in for one of these 2013 Forum Knives.

Did I miss the 2012 knife or did it never materialize after all the suspense?

I agree and delivering the YO2's for under $100 when they are in short supply is a great service to us.

I also placed a pre-order with Cutlery Shoppe, then after about a week, I realized I wasn't comfortable going that route. So I canceled it, with no problem. Anyway, like a lot of you the initial excitement has worn off. I probably will still buy one, but not at inflated prices, when it finally does...

I've had mine for a month now and it has pushed my Para 2 out of my pocket ( note: I'm very fond of my Para 2). I edc the Yojimbo 2 and have found the blade shape to be very useful. Easy to sharpen and it takes very keen edge. I have used it for a variety of tasks from vehicle repair (trimming plas...
