My Mule
It took ages to get this done. The knifemaker who did the work for me got sick, then his first son was born, and a million other things got in the way. But I finally have my Mule just the way I wanted it! The blade was a very generous gift from Yablanowitz (thanks again!). I had a knifemaker mate of...

I'm going through a bit of a Wenger phase lately. My two most used ones at the moment are an Evolution 17 (similar tool selection to a Vic Huntsman) and an EvoGrip 16 (similar to a Vic Super Tinker). These medium models cover my needs nicely without taking too much pocket space. I've got my trusty S...

Their videos work on a certain crowd, most of the guys I train with love them. They see knives more as weapons than tools, and love the variety of SD designs Cold Steel offers. Since they consider their knives weapons, long term edge holding isn't much of an issue for them. Most of them aren't true ...

There's nothing I don't like about the Delica, but I would prefer the Endura handle to be a bit broader towards the lanyard hole. Like the old Endura 3, that handle feels better in my hand than the newer ones. In fact, that's the reason why I keep using my Endura 3 more than any of my Endura 4s. Oth...

I sell knives (mostly to fund my own addiction), and Cold Steel is one of the brands I work with. I never liked their advertising style, but I know loads of people who do. I have a few of their products and they work well. I haven't tried any of the weird things that they do on their DVDs, though. I...

So far my issues with Spydercos have been: -Vertical blade play in my Spyderhawk and Tasman. I honestly don't know if they came like that from the factory or it developed through use. It's very noticeable and the knives are less than a year old. -Uneven grind on my Chinook 3. Looking at the tip from...

I'd go for something different from a Delica just to try out some of the other options available. The Delica is made in Japan, so you could go with a Golden made model (every Spyderholic needs a Golden model!) with a different lock, steel and handle material. There are several well within your budge...

I'm looking to get a Condor Golok in carbon steel at some point. For $40 it would be hard to beat I think. Condor Goloks and Parangs are top notch I just got my first shipment and my customers are loving them. I've never seen machetes or similar tools with such good fit and finish and careful packa...

Would I be not able to carve wood with a FFG blade?I really dig how it looks, maybe if I were extra careful?Then again I tend to overdo things. If you like the FFG, go for it. It's fine for wood carving as long as you don't apply lateral stress to the tip. They cut really well and are super light. ...

How much money are you willing to spend on the knife? Like some of the guys already mentioned, you really can't go wrong with one of the classics like the Delica. If you're going to be doing a lot of whittling, then get one of the regular sabre ground ones. The FFG Delicas have very delicate tips. T...

Hellhound, I've tried out the 2010 Recon 1. It's definitely an improvement over the old one when it comes to size and weight. The blade length is the same but the all G-10 handle is slimmer and a lot lighter. The clip is also better placed so that a lot less protrudes from the pocket. The one thing ...

I use mine pretty often (it's in my pocket today) and I'm thrilled with it. The handle fits my big hands very well and the flat ground S30V blade is a wicked slicer. If your daily cutting needs involve a lot of precision work with the tip of your knife, you're probably better off with a wharnnie or ...

I don't think there's a single right answer. There are far too many variables, like the sort of training you do, the climate in your area, etc. For instance, I do a lot of kerambit training. Although I practice with regular knives as well, I'm just faster and more accurate with the traction cutting ...
