High Carbon steel that sharpens ...

Thanks Standy!
I’ll see what I can find and give it a try

Feel free to ask any questions you want or PM me for advice.

Was helped here by many when I started out, so happy to pay it forward and help others.

Heat proof characteristics really appealed to me being in a tropical environment. Also the pairing with Magnacut for a waterproof knife led me to choose it for my Magnacut Mule. Basically made a knife you could throw in an autoclave at 120C daily . (Working for the Department of Agriculture Fisheri...

Most definitely going to have to buy two or three ceramic mules--one to use, one to keep for the collection, and one to sell at an obscene mark up on ebay at some point in the future. Just have to make sure to sell it before the hypothetical product reveal in which Spyderco announces the upcoming r...

Not for me, watched the whole ceramic knife come in when I was still a butcher and toughness was always the issue. Aussie $$s lately and price may have me sit this one out. (Having all my mules on a magnetic rack this would sit in a draw and probably get used less) Good to see this bought to market ...

How long is soon....I'm 50 and they are still within SOON guidelines in my book.

The last 2 micarta scales that I made

Great work mate

So the Reveal of the Reveal has us talking about the Reveal before the Reveal is Revealed

I have noticed the exact same with a few mates. They have a fillet knife and a hunting knife that you could cut a buffalo up with and will drop buy and get me to sharpen them regularly. But drop over for a feed and they have the bluntest cheapest things in the kitchen. (When I know they have a fille...

Shape all my hardwood scales by hand. A good belt sander would be far more handy in my opinion. Most of my figured Hardwood scales are book matched so probably not something you would CNC Many CNC scale makers are doing G10, Micarta and other materials. As a knife maker who watches and follows a lot...

I am more than happy with S30V but have been using the S45VN Mule a bit for the last 12 months. (as it’s the first one of my several Mules on the magnetic strip in the kitchen.) So I have found it holds an edge better than S30V and sharpens just as easy, if not better. More than happy with S45VN or ...

A GB2 - just do it

Prettty much Design, Ergonomics and steel fuel the purchase

Easy one was Para 3 lightweight M4 - in BHQ Mint

Would have bought this knife it had Pink and Yellow polka dot scales

Picked up some Myall a cpl months back. Seems like a darker cousin? Are they similar to work with sanding/finishing wise? Myall might be a bit harder to work with a touch more of a resin. Both a very dense timber. Gidgee probably has a better colour when quilting due to being lighter, but Myall can...
