Straight razor honing on Sharpmaker

I recently acquired two vintage straight razors which I promptly sent off to be honed by a professional and brought to shave readiness. I should be able to keep them shaving with a strop for a while but if I have the patience to continue shaving with them, they will inevitably need re-honed. I am ...

AFAIK, some steels are from the States and others are from Japan. An example would be all S30V knives are made in Golden and all VG-10 knives are made in Seki. I would venture to say quality is quite similar for both.

I think the Byrd knives are made in China so they have different steels and they ...

Selling Spydies?

I have a Spyderco for sale because it just isn't my favorite and I need to pass it on to someone else to fund my addiction. I won't give any details here because I am not trying to sell it on here. Most forums have a separate "for sale" forum for such things and I don't see one here. I assume we ...

I too cut food every now and then and it would be much healthier to use a mineral oil. What kind do y'all use? Is it just any ol' bottle labeled "Mineral Oil" or should I look for anything in particular?

A Couple Leather Questions

Does it matter what kind of texture the leather is? Such as, if you had a really smooth piece of leather from a belt as opposed to a more suede-like material that was slightly rougher. Would the smoother leather give you better results?

Also, I have some red jewelers rouge I was going to use but I ...

I am looking for a "gentleman's knife" and while I would love to have a William Henry ...

Spyderscrews?

Hey guys, I have a little problem. I am wanting to sell my Chinook II to get a different Spydie but before I put it on Ebay, I need to replace one of the screws that holds on the pocket clip. My question is, where the heck can I get one of these? I would rather get one locally rather than directly ...
