Re: Best steel for sharp edges

I agree with the sentiment laid out by Darby and surfingringo. Different steels will respond differently to different materials in stones. Achieving the proper bevel comes down to technique. Your technique can be developed quickly from an easy to use system, like the edge pro, or can be developed mo...

The Southfork was my first one I looked at, love the green handle and blade shape, but the I started reading abo...

Fixed blade for hunting: Which model should I choose?

I'm thinking of picking up a Spydie fixed blade for the upcoming deer seasons. 4 models fit the size I'm looking for and what I believe would be ideal geometry for field dressing and skinning deer. The 4 models I'm looking at are: Bradley Bowie, Bradley Junction, Proficient, and Southfork. For those...

Re: Caly 3 HAP40 dropped

I'm hoping I'll end with one. Haven't heard anything from KO today regarding the 'pending' order. I thought I just got in with one left at hand tools, but reading further I think a few others thought that as well...

If all else fails hopefully my early preorder from KC comes through... :D
