That sounds like an epic trip...I can't wait for it to happen! I'd only add in a side trip to the Scottish Highlands or Whales. ;) Then maybe the next year, a trip to Australia! Every reptile lover needs to visit Australia at least once in their life! And you can’t forget about Ireland! Pausing for...

Sorry for the late reply, my friend! :o Actually I am aware of only one location in Austria where there was (and partly still is) "a concentration of knife-making": Trattenbach in Upper-Austria (that´s the proper name of one of the nine federal states Austria consists of). Called the "valley of kni...

What the high carbon simple steels lack in toughness and wear they make up for it in edge stability. https://youtu.be/wsjR6tUXxGo From a Heat treatment point of view these kinds of steels are like a manual transmission vs a automatic, things require more set up to avoid less desirable features and ...

Nice score. Congrats!

I wouldn’t have guessed that was your grail knife, though.

That's how I treat my Caribbean. It's the designated "whatever" knife. It functioned as a door knob the other day. I walked into a room to measure a window and the door closed behind me. I went to leave and there was no knob, lol. Flick, jab, twist and I'm on to the next one! :D (Zero damage) I als...

Would vanax, lc200, etc be less brittle than white/blue at the same hardness? (More carbides means more brittleness?) Can’t speak to Vanax, as I haven’t tried it, but from what I understand from Larrin and Chad/Xplorer, LC200N is challenging to get harder than around 59 HRC in production knives. Ma...

Cambertree droppin knowledge in this thread like... BOOM. Thanks for sharing, bro! :cool: Ha ha, thanks bro. :) I guess even slow learners like myself acquire a little knowledge when they have good teachers. :D :p Here’s a couple of interesting vids on the quarrying and shaping and dressing of natu...

I understand tradition, and the demand for high polish edges, but old school western chef knives were sharpened on a Norton India at best (and I guess steeling helps) It just seems like everyone on reddit r/chefknives and kitchenknifeforums are all carbon = best (with some who are getting into SG2/...

Two of the kitchen knives I have that would probably compare head to head for blade profile and cutting ability would be the Itamae Petty (Super Blue) and the plain ol' 4.5" Utility Knife (MBS-26). I did have an issue with the Petty and trying to sharpen it. It seems that despite using the diamond,...

I wonder if Spyderco actually has plans for a folding chef knife for 'adventure chefs' that travel and cook on the go? I was really tempted to find out how well the MM ones are but being an edc spyderco fan, I wish spyderco made ones that are lc200n steel instead It would be interesting to see a kn...

My recollection is that Sal did confirm that the Jazzlica would be included in the K390 Seki series. I could be wrong though. It would be great if the Wharny Dragonfly got the K390 treatment eventually. ZDP189 is an outstanding steel, in my opinion. In Larrin’s edge retention testing of 48 knife ste...

For those who like a little bit of knife on their dirt.

LOL!

Yeah, that was after a day of making soil mixtures and repotting my chilli pepper plants!

My Tasman Salt’s the only other knife I’d treat that way.

Tradition mainly, and partly edge fineness and finish at high levels of sharpening refinement. I actually prefer stainlesses like VG10 and AEB-L on my kitchen knives. Spyderco’s MBS26 also performs very well in acute edge angles and refined finishes. But I do have a pair of lefty Shirakis in Shiroga...

Our Z-Cuts just arrived in the mail this past Saturday. My wife used them on Sunday to prepare some snacks for football. I got one in both PE and SE. She said she definitely preferred the SE model. I haven't used them yet besides to slice a lemon for my morning glass of lemon water. She thinks thei...

Oops sorry. I am looking for a Spyderco kitchen Knife Set. Still not familiar with their knife series :D I will check their Counter Puppy Knife and their K03,04,05... Thanks Thanks! @Cambertree why is Spyderco discontinue K03 Pro? Are you a japanese chef? Hi OrangeShoes. :) I’m not sure why the K03...

Thanks as always for the fascinating information, Mr Janich. I thought I’d also reference this post on the Moran being adapted for use for an Air National Guard unit. https://forum.spyderco.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=87163&p=1437447&hilit=Moran#p1437447 And Kissaki’s excellent history of the Spyderco M...

You are forgiven... :p :p / Yes, Voest Alpine is a (for Austrian standards) huge steel and technology company, they employ over 50 000 people as far as I know... / Liked the vid a lot, it explains the powder metallurgy process very good and understandable. Here is the German version of the vid for ...
