The Blade/Knife Thread.

Kyocera 3" ceramic pairing knife. For the kitchen. Still nice and sharp after having it over a year and using it on a pretty regular basis for peeling apples, slicing fruits and vegetables, slicing chicken/steak/pork..

Also comes in all black if you're wanting tacticool in the kitchen.

My step dad has one of those, very nice kitchen knives!

The SOG Flash 1 arrived today. Looks like it's going to be the perfect EDC knife.. small, light, decent blade steel, and the only time I notice it in the pocket is when I dig my keys out.. my hand just barely grazes it. It's also assisted opening. Can't complain for the money.


New with the old

Case XX


Boker is probably 20+ years old.. my stepfather gave it to me probably 12'ish years ago.

I need to get a picture of my new one that my girlfriend gave me. It is an assisted opening knife like your new one.. its quite nice

Fiskars axe-

I bought a 14" hatchet from them since I needed one and wanted to see what the fuss was about. The dang thing is nice! light and sharp out of the box. I havnt swung it more then 10 minutes making kindling but if it holds up like the reviews say then it will be a great value.

^ Watch out! I havent had it happen to me (since i dont own one) but a numebr of them left the factory with a problem where the head isnt properly attached and can fly off!

I think I might sneak into my tax return and get a Spyderco Paramilitary 1 or 2. Blacked out.. or would like the one with digi cam handles and black blade.. Might have to hold out on that for a while because I also plan on getting a gun with my tax return.

[troyboy162]

are you sure you are talking about fiskars? the head cant come off unless you break the handle apart. its not a typical hammer a wedge into a wood handle setup. The handle wraps around the steel. its a little concerning when spiting with a chop style axe that the plastic on the head scrapes the wood, but I dont think i'll wear it out.

I love my blacked out Paramilitary. If you get a paramilitary you're gonna want a Military also. If so, get one. Those two are my favorite.

Doubly sure i saw a few threads about it elsewhere. Something about the plastic not holding up overtime. But they might have fixed it by now.

Oh! You had me wondering if there was a real problem. I can see they would be suseptable to misuse damage by design. The blade profile I have for instance wont live forever spliting wood, but would be fine in hatchet tasks.
