You are not a man if you don't own a knife

[John Connor]

I own many knives. So yeah....me a man, man!

 

[lxskllr]

I also have one of these but alsmost never use it.

I have the classic Buck folding hunter, and I don't use it either. I've had it >30 years, and have only sharpened it once :^D

 

[MongGrel]

I've had this model since high school. If I were to do it over, I would have gotten a skinner or a model with a bit smaller, more curved blade. The long, straight portion of the blade is mostly useless.

I saw that and had to post again.

I have had one like that since high school in the late 70's myself, I need to polish it and hone it again.

My mom had that model for fishing. The leather rings eventually fell out.

By far my most favorite is my Swiss Army Chap. I have the sapphire model. http://www.amazon.com/Victorinox-Swiss-SwissChamp-Pocket-Knife/dp/B00DI6W4FM

That's what I have pictured. I broke the pliers trying to extract a huge nail. I also broke the awl tip drilling through a penny, but I can work around that. I've had it 25 years, so I don't want a new one, but I also want the pliers back.

 

[disappoint]

Drilling through a penny? What were you fishing for Ferengi? I always wondered how you guys managed to land a Rossman.

japanese cutlery for the win

You have some esoteric Japanese Samurai sushi cutlery you care to post a picture of, or just talking out of your butt again per usual ?

I have no desire to buy a $1000 Japenese sushi knife myself, I doubt you own one.

Yes, there are good knives/swords made in the past, Toledo Steel, Damascus and a few others used to be a thing in the past.

I thought I seen at the Swiss Army website where they sold the individual tools. I can't remember. But I wonder how you remove the plastic?

You don't need to spend that kind of money to get a respectable Japanese knife. I wish I had like 500 to spend on one nice main chef's knife though, but not in the cards just yet. still Japanese cutlery is > than ze German stuff

my japanese knives are not high end by any means but they are decent. I just have a few. A Gyotou, Santoku and a Utility/Petty. Maybe need to add a Yo-Deba to the mix but those 3 should cover most cooking situations. Togiharu brand at korin.com:

Whatever you like to use man, knock yourself out

If you can afford to buy those I'm not one to say otherwise.

I'll give you a +10 for being an honest poster, it seems, that is a rare thing around here sometimes.

[mnewsham]

They are pretty serious in the knife department, I always wanted one, but haven't bothered.

I just happen to have one sitting right here actually.
Made in nepal

Other things in that nature seem more practical to me these days.

It's not really a knife I would use for much.

I don't think i've ever used it in a practical nature.

Screwdriver works reasonably well...

Your darn tootin you don't need to spend $1000 or even $500. I only spent $150 on the Miyabi Artisan SG2 8" gyuto and it's the best knife I've ever owned. Worth every penny and then some. SG2 steel at an HRC of 63 holds an incredible edge for a long time.

Sounds like you were more about the product you were making than the business side of making it profitable. A common problem when it's a labor of love. You can't treat business as if it's a hobby.

I wish you guys were still in business I'd get a pita from you. That kitchen looked clean and you guys look like you really knew what you were doing when it came to making a great product.

My dog does not own a knife, therefore he is not a man.

 

[WelshBloke]

It not the most functional multi tool but it's pretty, pocket able and was a gift.

I actually really like it.

 

[WelshBloke]

My new carving knife is better.

Wow never let it be said you're not the sharpest tool in the shed!

No one's ever going to put one over on you!

Momma aint raise no foo!
