- that's the hairiest palm i've ever seen.Gnash
- knapping is cool. i support this********
- even though it's pure form over function and an example of a knife as a fashion accessory?scarabin
- they are still sharp if you had nothing to grab for self defense. except for the hairy knife prob..yurimon
- they would destroy your hand if you tried, as he has pointed out about moldero's knives.scarabin
- that second one is an utter thing of beauty.detritus
- this is pics of the 3rd one, making
http://www.bladesmit…yurimon - Flint knapping is a cool craft project that has historical anthropological significance. Not so much about practicality********
- Yeah but it's not dragon glass...Maaku

The general idea I get from your posts is that the cooler a knife is, the more likely for the holder to stab stab someone.
Have you seem scarabin basement? I doubt he has actually sacrificed any baby in it.
... Have you? Scarabin? Lol- he just feels like he has to defend his taste in knives. makes up a lot of shit about people with different tastes to justify it. it's pretty funny actually.scarabin
- for the record, you have great taste in knives, gilga. i like what you've posted. i just don't agree on this bizarre complex profile you've builtscarabin
- up about me and certain types of blades. a knife's purpose is solely how the owner uses it and mine has gotten more practical use than any other i've ownedscarabin
- ...so who gives a flying fuck is my point. you shouldn't.scarabin
- We are going to have to agree to disagree. I dissagree about your assessment of what a knife purpose is dependant on. The guys who designed and made it did so********
- with an explicit purpose in mind. You suggest that their motivations hold no relevance. I dont see it that way********
- And what I said about the first bit is that the more intimidating a knife is, the more likely you're going to wave it around when you get in a jam and go and********
- Get yourself shot********
- any fact supporting that theory?pango

i'd like to try my hand at making a knife. anyone here ever done this?
- my dad used to make fillet knives for himself, i still have one of themmoldero
- that's a great thing to pass downscarabin
- Get some billets and make some blanks. The only hard part is doing the heat treat well. Lotta good videos out there********
- I started a road spike knife. Hard as fuck when you're a beginner. Good workout tho, lol :pMaaku
- thought i might start by cutting down an old circular saw blade. i'll have a nice tang i can make a cool handle withscarabin
- The high speed steel used in saw blades isn't the best due to it's finicky temper and the thinness of it********

That is really nice.I have recently been searching for a nice knife. Just because, I liked knives as a kid, what boy doesn't right?
I was in the 4th or 5th grade when I brought home a knife that looked just like this knife:
http ://kershaw.kaiusaltd.com/images...
My mum found it and made me immediately return it, i remember it cost me so much at the time I think I spent birthday money on it.
Anyway, I had to return it and only recently have I been searching for a knife to replace my long last knife from long ago. This looks like it!
Where can they take my money from??
The nicest knives I own now are my Global kitchen knives. But imma get that knife back now im older! ha mum! ;)

heat treat- making knives with very few tools
https://www.youtube.…******** - yeah, a tiny forge is def on my list of upcoming projectsscarabin
- Yea, you could make a forge out of a 55gal from and a shop vac if money is an issue. Only thing you really need to purchase is a bench grindér********
- Assuming you already have a drill********
- *drum not from********
- i don't have a bench grinder but maybe i could vise down my angle grinder. thought i'd go wth the coffee can forge https://www.youtube.…scarabin
- Angle grinder is for scaling and cutting, harbor freight has small chap bench grinders that will do the trick********

My dad just gave me this knife called "facón", a traditional gaucho knife. It's a Zarzabal steel 400, hand-crafted, 7,8" blade, with a very simple, hand-crafted leather cover. The haft is 100% silver, with gold settings... For a classy asado :P

- very niceIRNlun6
- it is a collaboration between the fire arm manufacturer armeria zarzabal and nieto cutlery, and the steel is 440 stainless. zarzabal is not a kind of steel********

- also, just so you know, it's 100% silver plated, not solid silver lol********
- Thanks!maquito
- No problem. It's a cool knife with a cool story. I don't use 440, it's edge retention properties aren't to my liking and it is a bitch to get a workable edge********
- On 440 a and b. Unless it says 440c than it is a or b. Other than that, cool piece, it's not worth more than a hundred bucks so you might as well use it aroun********
- Around the kitchen and enjoy it. Good shit********

I carry a S&W extremeOps tactical in my car, and the pocket opinel concealed in my pants. And to start off a cool sidebar discussion, YES, I would definately, repeatedly stab anyone's ribcage if necessary.
- ever had an opinel get wet and swell up to the point where it refused to open? had one as my fishing knife until it pulled that shit on me********
- if they made them with synthetic furniture i would be more down********
- Never happened. Keep it dry?maquito
- Water happens, too big a design flaw for me to be down. Took an edge real well though********

I carry the Kershaw Iridium Model 2038 with the quick KVT ball-bearing system and thumb studs.
I never thought I would be a "pocket knife guy" but I started a year ago with it and I'm so glad I did! I'm always ready on Christmas morning! haha
I need some good recommendations from you as this was just the best of my introduction to the world of EDCs!
Also WTF the YouTube channels are crazy with some of these people lol

Suggestions?

I have a CRKT Van Hoy snap lock (with a non cerated blade though). Its a funky looking drillium thing but it holds its edge and doubles as a fidget toy. Its rock solid when its open.
