Knives. Knifethread.

[digitalfrost]

Audiophiles are people that like overbuilt things. Things that are much better than necessary. Looking at the watch thread, I realized one thing. I might have a hifi problem, and I might have a watch problem. But for sure, I do not have a knife problem.

I mean these are just 4 of my Spydercos, and it's not like a have a lot of other knives. So any other guys out there who do not have a knife problem?

Real men EDC Fallkniven A1s.

I just have a Paramilitary 2 in my bag

God these Youtube videos are annoying. Could be condensed in one web page with pictures or few minutes of relevant footage.

Man, I love Spydercos! I have a whole mess of them. I'll try and find them. My favourite is my flatground J.D. Smith.

Neither do I. I'm probably a bit overstocked though:

Unfortunately most of them live in a drawer and never see daylight. Counted from right I use #5 and #11 when fishing, #10 for french bread (must do this in style, it's an Opinel) and #13 in the garden. But mostly I use an old Victorinox Swiss Champ because it's in my pocket and has sooooo many functions (33, and it took me half an hour to locate the needle).

A few handy ones... One or more of these are always on me.

One of these days I'd like to get a nice butterfly knife and learn to play with it. Don't know anything about the manufacturers though.

I have three Chinese cleavers in my kitchen. By far the best way to cut, chop, dice with any level of fineness you like. Plus they work like a little axe if you ever get a tough vegetable, like cassava, and need to exert more than the usual downwards force.

My favourite one.

Inexpensive and holds an edge well.

Oooh... a knife thread!!!


I got this cheap 7" Nakiri knife off Amazon last week... It was less than $30.

But I found it too big and clunky, so I sent it back and got two of these Thai Kiwi knives instead. They're $12 for 2 - hard to beat for the price, and they get the job done.

I also have a bunch of inexpensive small EDC folding knives. Here are some of them...

I also have a bunch of multi-tools...

I think Chris Reeve should not be missing here

A few bits of the usual pieces of sharp cutlery - Fairbairn-Sykes, Bund Victorinox and Fliegerkappmesser, my father's army jack knife and a few other issued things - as well as some Spyderco and Gerbers

need the best because i am a chef

Have you checked out

I haven't bought from them in about two years..but was happy with what I got when I did.
Edit: Turns out they still have one I use everyday:

BD1N is a great knife steel. At 63 Rockwell it is a nice balance for edge life and chip resistance. You don't need to buy anything more expensive.

BTW, as you likely know, most 'knife sharpeners' will simply ruin the edge. I use one similar to this, which precisely sets the angle and allows choice of grit:

I do not use stones however. I make 'same dimension' thin 1/8" plywood carriers for disposable strips of 400 to 2000 black carbide paper..Never clogs. Always fresh. Use with baby/mineral oil - not water..

Arguably, the best Spyderco ever - Tim Wegner (C48 GP)

I've owned (and still own) quite a few, but have eventually settled on these:

Kizer Sheepdog!

And my EDC beater, the Sanrenmu SRM-B787.
