You finish your knives on a 1k Chosera?
Wow, I need to test that out.
I usually go as high as with my razors.
usually that means a Suehiro Gokumyo 20K, a Nakayama or one of my Coticules followed...

We are all different.
I use my Rocksteads, customs, Hinderers and CRK's every single day in my work as a technician.
Got zero use for safe-Queens.
Reliable and highly functional quality tools is...

I can't agree with that statement.
Sebensa's aside, a well crafted EDC of good material and design is worth a lot more to me:)

As our fellow member Otto has stated in his sig-line:
Cheap tools...

:)
You know, if I were to apply sense into what knife I carry I would be well served with a Mora knife as an EDC.
I do use every knife I buy, be it for work as a technician in the AV industry, when...

It's not as much a question of need as it is a question of wanting something beautiful crafted by people with a passion for making the vert best they can possibly manage

It was sort of inevitable I guess.
This knife has been on my radar for months on end, and now it should be here pretty shortly.
They do come with somewhat of a price-tag, so if I hadn't experienced...

I just received this Busse Mean Street LE.
Carrying it alongside with my Rockstead Shu.
There is not much that cannot be cut between these two puppies;)

Sorry about the late response mate.
Yes, thanks for letting me know about that supplier who actually carry them this side of the pond.
The latest Rockstead I bought was actually bought there in the...

Thanks mate:)

I haven't tried the YXR7 steel for any long periods I'm afraid.
From what I've read online about it though, it is a very nice steel in the hardness Rockstead makes them. (around 64...

Man, I'm on a roll.
This little Rockstead was finally in stock.
I've waited for months for this one, so finally having it underway to me is great:)
These Japanese folders have become sort of a...

This one is en route to me from the US.
Nothing I planned on buying, but everyone else sorta backed off that auction:)
It will be put thru the ringer at work for a few weeks, hopefully it will be...

The Opinel is a darn fine tool, and for the price it is near impossible to beat.

No reason at all, imho.

Most any knife will do what this one does.
Honestly, a 10 Dollar gas station folder will, in most any everyday task, do just as fine as a Rockstead, a Begg, an Azrael or...

The build, materials used, workmanship, grind, tolerances and honing/polish of their blades are all in the upper tier as far as production/mid-tech knives go.

My CHI is made from ZDP-189, and...

Indeed it is!
My bank-account would love for me to loose all contact with the inter webs...

Or to paraphrase Hannibal Lecter from the Silence of the lambs; We begin by coveting what we see every...

Right, so this folding knife thingy seems to develop into another AD of sorts, it is fun:)

The latest addition is a Rick Hinderer XM-18, 3.5" in a Spanto grind.

I held off on this one for a...

I've had it for a couple weeks now, and must confess, this is a really good tool!

The handles are made from Hard anodized Aluminium, so I suspect I will see some wear in the black coating...

A couple more from my growing rotation:)
These are more in the Gentleman's folder category I suppose..

The bigger one is a Rockstead Chi in ZDP-189. Hardened to 66,7
The smaller one is a Chris...

After receiving my Chris Reeve Sebenza, I kinda fell in love with this brand.
So, I decided to get another one.
This time an Umnumzaan.
A bit beefier blade stock than the sebenza, and with a Tanto...

Alright, I know I have already posted this knife in this thread.
However the filework on it impressed me so much that I just had to put one more pic up of it;)

I asked to have my initials on it,...

For quite a few years now I have been wanting a Chris Reeve Sebenza.

I finally decided to get one today:)
I think this will be a perfect work-companion for me, perhaps even a hiking tool.
...

Whoa, I loved that Moki, what a cool looking knife!

Here's my newest addition.

My wife has ordered this as a present to me for my birthday in July.
A good woman that is:)
She is having it engraved with my initials, so I'll receive it just in time...
