Sorry to read about the heat. Please tell me why you can't get air conditioning? You can cool just one room with a portable AC. Is it the cost of electricity that prevents you from getting an AC? I grew up in the American south in the days when AC was not in houses or cars, like today. Now, as I...

A strop, without any abrasive compound is acting to push tiny flakes of steel off the cutting edges, that if not removed will fold over and damage the cutting action. The strop also pushes the cutting edges back into place in a more gentle fashion than a hone. The leather strap in itself does...

The grooved or ribbed hones may produce steel residue. This is caused by the softer blade steel shedding debris on to the hone. Western knives are traditionally not heat treated to hardness level of quality Asian knives so they tend to produce microchips and flake off pieces of steel during...

That's a tough carrot! On the expensive (for me) side, I've had excellent slicing results from the Joker Compero and Joker Nessmuk. I own multiple examples of both and find them to be superb. These are around $100USD and up in the USA. If they are available in the UK they are likely about the...

Nothing too spectacular but the Morakniv Companion excells at slicing adventures and food preparation.

My everyday carry blade, in Florida, is a Boker Strike Plus. This is an automatic knife. I have carried one on me since 2018 or 2019. I was having lunch with an old friend when I asked if he owned an automatic knife. He said, no, so I handed the one in my pocket. I like these knives, so I had a...

Here's another cautious endorsement of Civivi folding knives. On the same thought, I have been picking up some nice folding and fixed blade knives from Sitivien and Eafengrow. These can be obtained via Amazon USA but I am unsure if they will ship to the UK. I ran into some Scotland fans at the...

This was a disgraceful and we'll deserved ending to this company. There was conversation that people were sad that the workers lost their jobs. I say good, they knew all too well the malfeasance that was going on there. Knife companies have an implicit agreement with the consumer. The...

Steels are for realignment of the cutting edge. They do not remove material. Sharpening removes material. If we are going to talk strictly about knife steel for honing, I like the flat or ovoid shaped rods. Makers all seem to be German. Now defunct Emil Gustav Erm, current manufacturer F.Dick...

Just because someone in the past did it their way does not constrain me from utilizing both the improved technologies of the present and radically expanded abilities to communicate with informed people outside of your immediate group/location. I have seen all sorts of knives being used in the...

I like the Garberg quite a bit as an all around knife that I can use and abuse. I leave stainless Garberg in my trucks as part of a break down kit. I also like Companion robust. I keep a bunch of Companion around as box openers and cardboard box break down blades. I generally use Moras for work...
