...this painful truth of reprofiling SE is in the back of my mind trying to destroy every piece of positive attitude I thought I had... Kudos to all of you who has the courage and patience to reprofile K390 SE on the Sharpmaker. 👍 Here is a story about H1 SE, but could also apply to K390 SE with th...

For me it totally depends on the knife. I prefer tip up as long as the knife is both (1) small enough that I can easily access the hole in tip up configuration without "scooching up" the handle after drawing the knife, and (2) has a strong enough detent/closing bias that I don't need to w...

Kinda hard to see in pictures, but I had John at BGM thin out a Siren for me. He did real nice work and fast to boot. Bye-bye makers marks — it’s a slicing machine now.

Like!

I think everyone waited for the sprints/exclusives with "better" steels...

Yup, that was me... I was hoping for Cruwear.

Thanks! Yes the one in the middle is the KSF red linen micarta with the glass blast. The PJ is S45VN, the inlays are both Magnacut. I really like the glass blasted finish. I discovered that the added cost for the glass blast unfortunately nudged a large inlay Sebenza or Inkosi over the A$1000 limit,...

Thanks Rick… I still have to form an opinion on the usefulness of tantos in the real world, but on the Inkosi and Umnumzaan it looks the business! I read a comment somewhere about the Inkosi’s angular blade and curvy handle that went something like, “The Inkosi Tanto is the perfect combination of se...

All the blade shapes!

Stay safe mate!

Cutlery Shoppe and LynchNW Rex-45 exclusive. The dark ti finish and polished edges are quite striking. I like the extra bit of weight too. I am still a novice when it comes to CPM-Rex-45.

I regret that I missed out on this one, because of tough competition at the time with other sexier sprints. The larger Shaman is a worthy alternative for me though. The stone washed blade and clip and contoured scales give it a bit extra. It came out tops for hand comfort during a backyard cut test ...

Mine was perfect.

IMG_4767.jpeg My first knife i acquired from the caly/calypso family was this one second hand 3 or 4 yrs ago. It’s been kind of a beater knife or at least turned into one, around the time i was very new and inexperienced with my sharpening technique and ended up grinding some of the belly of the bl...

Slightly uneven bevels are pretty common on these mass-produced non-custom knives... You can make it look perfect during the first sharpening. You will most likely also see improved edge retention after you get rid of the factory edge. You can still sell it as mint as long as you don't carry or use ...
