Thread: Knife collecting

I have no idea what that thing was Griz, but it could well be a Fid as you suggest. I use Fid's for my leather work and for untying the odd childs attempted bow in a shoelace. Bloody handy bits of kit I have to say. They come in various sizes or you can make them to suit if you don't own a shop bought. I have one of each in two sizes.

Carbide sharpeners....not even once!

Get a nice Spyderco Sharpmaker for easy yet effective sharpening. Or my current favourite the DMT aligner set. You can sharpen knives without destroying the blade you know. Those carbide sharpeners only make knives "sharp" compared to wooden knives.

On a sidenote, I got me some cool new acquisitions:

A Mcusta, a brand that I'd read about for the first time here on SRP and that sparked my interest in good knives. Took me 5 years but I finally got one:

This is a black micarta Tactility model


an A.G. Russell Bicentennial knife in Brass fom 1976


Another A.G. Russell, the 2009 Texas Ranger large folding hunter. Here shown next to my Tim Britton medium Avatar


And a discontinued A.G. Russell white bone lockback

Only Knives I own and use anymore,the case was my Dads.
