All I know is I spent a couple of years where I cut a lot of cardboard up and the better the steel the easier my life was. These days I probably could make do with something more basic, but a H1 knife sure is handy in the garden and I like not having to sharpen my ZDP Lum very often and really that'...

I carry a matriarch sometimes with SD in mind. Hopefully I'll never have to use it obviously, but it's nice to have it available if need be (more options are a good thing). I've never used it for any other purpose. The Civilian's always seemed a bit too expensive/bulky for that purpose for me so if ...

That's very cool! And people really should cut Golden some slack - it's typical city government - they put in some rules that seem like a good idea, and when an exception comes up it's not always really straightforward to let a good project to go through while at the same time being fair to everybod...

I spent a little bit of time writing software used to manufacture some electronics gear (mostly testing the device once it was done) and there's definitely some interesting tradeoffs you can make. The more manufacturing you have in an area, the more skilled people you get at all levels, and the more...

I usually bring a SS cricket. I'm sort of hoping it doesn't particularly look like a knife when closed, and that way I at least have something. On a longer trip I'll bring something like a serrated ZDP Delica which is unlikely to need sharpening for a while and put it in with the underwear and hope ...

It could be a couple of things. It's definitely possible to have a burr coming out of the steel that feels sharp and may cut for a bit but gets knocked off fairly easily. You don't really have a healthy edge. One concept worth knowing is that if the edge is currently, let's say at 35 degrees. If you...

Put another way, it's like a bike helmet. It gets used once (not used in the sense of carrying it on your head, used in the sense of smacking the pavement) and you buy a new one since it's likely to have suffered damage while saving your life. Likewise the Civilian is basically a disposable use once...

Those keychain knives are quite effective, and the serrations whip through things like tubing very nicely indeed. If you're cutting a bunch of stuff the larger knives are nicer if only because the handle fits your hand better, but if you just need to cut a couple of random things over the course of ...
