Knives anyone?

[bloowolf]

Thanks for the link bro. OK naman sila? I am thinking of ordering a couple of thing from them.

i have an old 10 inch blade "rambo" knife that i bought a long time ago at tagaytay picnic grove. bearing materiàl daw but never did try cutting a peso coin with it. it holds its edge. i have cut a fallen tree trunk with it pero medyo mahirap at masyado makapal ang blade and also not long enough.

i also had the p600 stainless itak/bolo sold in batangas. would have been good but it does not hold its edge well and needs frequent sharpening. lost it, hindi na sinoli sa akin ng naglinis ng house namin.

bought itak from pangasinan, nueva ecija and ilocos sur. all were suppose to be forged leaf springs. all them stores are liars. not forged at all, just plain leaf spring that were ground to shape, bend like tin cans, chipped easy and the half tangs broke on 2 of them. the ilocos one is still with me but i will get rid of it when i get a proper "itak tagalog" or "dahong palay".

i have a 4" folding in the car for emergencies, suppose to be original germany with car wind shield breaker and seat belt cutter. forgot the brand name. bought it for 3k.

meron seller before sa olx sa calookan sila. medyo pricey kasi they advertised an itak tagalog upwards of 8k. old school hot forging and quenching daw using 4140 steel. di ko na sila nakikita pa sa olx. i was interested kasi i heard from my uncles before if they needed a bolo or any farm tool made they went to this family in calookan. i was thinking baka descendants sila.

How about those German made Solingen kitchen knives. Ang mahal!

Nabili kong Solingen brand, yung gunting ng barbero. Okay naman.

Thanks for the replies. Naisipan ko lang bumili when i came across my dad's old pocket knife, and remembered how it freaked me out when the blade would fold back if you weren't careful.

Am looking at the Boker plus CLB keycom. i like the thingy that stops your finger from sliding through to the blade. Mas maliit yung subcom but it doesn't have that notch like the keycom, and the locking mechanism doesn't seem that secure.

Prior to reading sir yebo's post, i was really sold on the leaf spring story. Me japeyks din pala. Dismayado ako sa mga machete at Ace, cheap but doesn't look sturdy.

My first "rambo" knife i bought back in my boy scout days; it's now all rusted, but still used for gardening work. At some point somebody tried to cut wood with a nail in it, ayun me bungi near the base ^_^

i've also bought Solingen knives, but made the mistake of not keeping it after use...ayun, ginamit pangtadtad ng karneng me buto. in the end we just asked the manghahasa to file it down para magamit lang.

Ang kwento naman sa amin, the knives that real kitchens use aren't SS, they rust unless you keep them oiled. The thinking is that the metal(iron i think) is easier to sharpen. And kung ginagamit naman araw araw, no chance of rust developing.

Hey Guys what do you think about obsidian knives? sabi nila ginagamit daw yun nang mga surgeon?

[iceblueyes]

Some, cause its crazy sharp.

But thats it, its not really suitable for use as a "normal" knife. Like ceramic knives it'll chip.
