Case Peanut CV

Been carrying this little one daily. Perfect for my vigorous office activities, such as opening envelopes.

^ that sucks.

spyderco knives have been the sharpest knives out of the box in my experience - they usually scare hair of your arms

anyhow, i don't feel like i know my knife until i sharpen it to my liking

if I bought a sharpmaker, would I be able to get it to factory sharp or sharper? Or should I send this knife back to the seller for an exchange?

I'm guessing I can't just walk into sears or canadian tire and expect to get this sharpened properly.

next purchases: oxide coat military, SS police, sharpmaker

i don't use sharpening systems

i use a diamond hone for supersteels

and an arkansas stone for everything else

hand sharpening is very gratifying and that's how i learned how to sharpen

that said, you can get a knife hair popping sharp using any method, really

before i got a diamond hone, my locksmith (who also has a knife sharpening service) sharpened my supersteel knives

i've sent my benchmade opportunist back to benchmade for a sharpening and tune up

but seriously, you don't know your knife until you sharpen it

thanks for the tips man. I really don't know anything about knives

the police3 is my first knife. even at home we never had proper cutlery because momma was afraid of knives.

as for sharpening, something tells me I'll totally ruin my knife if I attempt to sharpen it myself - system or stone.

what are the thoughts on Opinel?

I ordered a standard beeech stainless 8

but now I'm considering giving it away and buying an olivewood carbon 6 and a bubinga stainless slim 12.

also thinking about an s90v military or paramilitary - which one though..

Was playing a bit of COD Black Ops, reminded me of my SOG knife:

Here's another couple, here's my favourite (a Japanese Spyderco, the Street-Beat):

Reminding myself I need to make a new wrap and rein for this one:

Fällkniven TK4

i bought a tk4 when i was in japan. really nice knife. lock-up was solid, too. so sad i lost it. tried to replace it with the U2, but it wasn't the same. opening wasn't smooth if i wanted little to no bladeplay, so i returned it. i would buy another tk2, but the price was so much affordable in jp :(
