Very nicely done! You might consider using the tape used by painters specifically for masking paint work. It peels off more easily than regular masking tape and leaves less or no residue. It is often blue in color.

Another description of the knife can be found on this page.

I should add that sometimes a new knife can be brittle at the edge due to overheating of a thin edge during heat treat. Sharpening the blade back a bit can often result in a dramatic improvement.

I would send it out to be sharpened by someone you trust to do an excellent job. Then if it dulls too quickly, you will know that the steel is too soft.

Like it a lot. :) Thanks for posting.

If the steel is not too hard, you can use a good file.

I have had knives that shaved hair and immediately blunted after carving a piece of wood. The culprit has almost always been a very fine thin wire edge that was not removed by stropping. Now I often use a power strop followed by buffing on an unsewn buffing wheel. Mainly I would suggest...

Thanks for sharing your story and as tragic as it was, it was a relief to hear both you and your cabin survived. Forest fires are a natural phenomenon but that doesn't make it easier to accept for folks who choose to live there.

Hard to comprehend the magnitude of the loss. I wish the family strength to deal with their sorrow and some kind of peace of mind down the road. Sincere condolences.

I ordered one from knifecenter a couple months ago. I think they had a couple and then sold out quickly just before my order. If Heinne has 'em, I'm hoping knifecenter will be getting a fresh order in soon as well. I get the impression that Condor tries pretty hard to deliver a quality product...

Very happy wishes!

Super pics! Thanks for posting them.

Yup, could be. I don't hang out on the knife forums so I am not up to date. I did find this dealer, and he is also on ebay.

You might consider ESEE's Izula II. Good necker of similar size and 1095 carbon.

Interesting. That looks like Newt's old site. Newt went out of business for a good long while and stuck a lot of people. Also borrowed thousands of dollars from someone I know personally who did Newt a BIG favor and Newt left him hanging. However, I heard somewhere that he might be back in...

I really think this approach makes a lot of sense. Bullies tend to escalate their attacks when they see they can intimidate their victims. When someone responds to their attacks by pretending it's a joke and laughing about it, it tends to take the wind out of their sails. They feed on hostile...

No advice, but you and your son have my sincere sympathy. Bullying is a never ending problem for kids and can lead to all kinds of tragic events. I hope you get it worked out.

That knife has not been made in many years, even before the original post. It is a carbon steel blade of 1095 with 3"+ of cutting edge. It's a thin blade with a full flat grind and will do all the things that a thin, pointy, 3" blade with a full flat grind will do. :)

I carry a lockback knife EDC. :sun:

My addiction to Chinese food has already forced me to learn Chinese. :lmao:
