Knives

[philaroman]

hey, I'm w/ you on this...  I buy cheaper stuff
got the Wüsthof + honing steel & fake-Damascus (early Kershaw?) as gifts
they don't go bad & I don't have to feed 'em

That Kershaw looks a lot like the one I used to carry, other than mine had a black blade. I had that knife for 10 years, and i used it for everything from drywall to bait to wire to fruit (with a wash in between). I just kept the packaging. Whenever it got dull I'd bend the clip and take it back to wallyworld to swap it out for a new one, about every year and a half.

I think I need to get another one, I finally lost it about 5 years ago.

When i was doing conveyor belt work this is a must,,,,, but when the splicers gets dull they just throw them away,,,,, so i got about 15,,,,,,, and a halk bill knife has so many purposes,,,,, one is opening packages,,,,,,,,,,,

I'm not really a knife collector, but I picked up this beauty while scouting for old reels. At the time I had no idea what I had, but it looked awesome and was priced right.

Up to December 21, 1972 it was OK.  They're picky about it now.

Our best kitchen knives are a J.A. Henckels and a Cold Steel, both dangerously sharp. I like to cut up veggies and drink a cold one while my wife cooks and we have the food network on in the background. Pioneer woman is one of our favorites.I got the Henckels at SMKW fer $30 they were $80 on Amazon at the time. I wish I had got more for Christmas gifts .

This thread is making me long for my previous kershaw knife I described above. I haven't actually carried a knife as a regular thing since I lost that one.

They still make the 1670TBLKST model that I know and love. Though at this stage of my life I don't think I need to do the same renewal operation as above.

My birthday is 2 weeks out. I think I'll start dropping hints.

I'm sorry...I need to drink more coffee before I post. I thought the price was $44.04 but that's the savings. The cost is $80 so I would shop around.

Hey Fred I'm looking to replace my EDC I use for work and was wondering what you'd suggest?

It gets used for everything from cutting rope to cutting my lunch.....

I currently have a cheap semi-serated Kershaw.....

PJ , knowing how you live and work I think I can throw my 2cts in here ...

EDC for over 20 years , Spyderco Endura .
When I was doing Mountain Rescue , Spyderco  Salt .
Both fully serrated .
I resisted the full serrations until at the suggestion of an old timer who told me to carry it for a year and then decide.
No decision  .
Spyderco will sharpen for free , lifetime .

First pic is a HK , spring assist , heavy but super strong .

[theswimmer]

More
Spyderco Salt and Spydy Endura.

[theswimmer]

Nother
Spyderco Salt .
Probably the finest Rescue knife made .
About $100 .
This will become part of your arm after about a day or two .
Not bad out for a day of fishing either !
