Knives anyone?

[badkuk]

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?

Some, cause its crazy sharp.

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