I have a huge chef's knife that took similar damage. It wasn't quite as bad*, but otherwise the same. I tried a rubber mallet on it against a sheet of micarta, and clamping it in a milling machine vise with no noticeable improvement. Eventually I just sharpened it at a much lower angle than I otherw...

Maxace Mamba


Kunwu Chad


Definitely not my first Maxace, but it'll be my first experience with Kunwu.

Lot of guys on the DLT fb page ( even the owner of DLT Jason Thune) are saying these are the sharpest outta the box kitchen knives they've ever used. .. I kinda wanted one in CPM Magnacut but, they were all sold out (8"Chef) so, I got one in Nitro-V It's got a nice dark blue handle too called ...

I'm just about positive that's a full custom PPT.

S90V/CF Hundred Pacer, or S90V Mamba with the grind "fixed."

Great thread.

Edit: by "fixed," I mean not this:

I've not heard of any Paysan fakes at this point. Considering a integral I kind of doubt there'll be counterfeits made but I've been wrong before A Nirvana fake came out recently. It's not an integral, through. There's a fake of the Shiro version of the Scott Cook Lochsa that is an integral. Nothin...

Edit: wrong thread

Thanks guys, but I didnt find any small inserts for my carbonfiber scales so I just have to redo the whole knife instead to incorporate my own scales. The hard part is to find the hardware that is small enough :zipper :zipper They're called "threaded inserts," and for the Native 5 (and mo...

Ive never really understood the Maxamet sharpening complaints. Sure it takes a bit longer, but nothing about it is really difficult. I've spent way longer chasing burrs on soft m390/20cv than I've ever spent sharpening Maxamet. Even the extra time it takes isn't that bad. Dropping the angle on my .0...

Nice to read, someone has some comparison with the K390? I'm waiting to get my k390 p4lw, and A11 Mule HRC tested, and hopefully find a knife in Vanadis 8 with similar geometry then I'm gonna do a comparison between a bunch of 10V (and 10V adjacent) class steels. I have a K2 in 10v at 63.7, and a M...

I have the M4 version and it's a great knife.

It's the knife I reach for when I'm not testing a specific model or steel, but just need to get a ton of cardboard cut up.

Man, that is a gorgeous knife but man, talk about wasted blade length. The choil and the unsharpened section of blade are just staring at me. I love the Osborne designs - it's too bad we never got a Warren Osborne Spyderco. The blade length to edge length ratio isn't that bad. It's basically the sa...

Cut up about 400ft of cardboard from a factory edge that was just starting to lose it's hair popping sharpness.



Still cleanly slices printer paper.

I'd buy one, but personally I feel like it's a great platform for an SNK exclusive.

This is actually a pretty interesting one. I can't imagine I'll be able to pass on it.
