I just scored a Spyderco Sage HO1. Beautiful knife. I don't have a pic of mine so I borrowed this one from Spyderco ;) Yes, that is woven carbon fiber on the outside.

I'm in love with my Benchmade I posted a while back. It has held up amazing, somehow I lost the tip, I didn't break it off and I don't remember it happening. I let a guy use it a couple times and I'm wondering if that's when it did. I looked in to shipping it in for a replacement blade without the serrations.

Anyway, I've been looking for a old school stone and today, I caved and picked up a diamond sharpener. Not one of the v things, but an actual coarse/fine sided block. I spent about and hour or so on it, and really wish I had taken before photos. Mind you, the tip was gone, and the blade had a few chips out of it, BUT it still has a usable edge, had no problem cutting things for work. Now, I managed to get a edge sharp enough to shave my arm with.

Yeah but the original is $475, this was $30 on amazon.
Got my griptilion sharper then stock and all my kitchen knives. :D

What do you guys sharpen with?

Edge Pro Apex, the non-ripoff version of your sharpener. LOL

Spyderco sharpmaker. Was able to produce a hair whittling edge once, quickly makes an edge sharp enough for EDC.

It's not as fancy as some of the other knives posted here, but this is my current daily. super convenient one-handed opening, simple blade that's easy to sharpen, and I like the simple proportions and aesthetic. Got it on sale for a song too.

I have a Kershaw clash, it really is a great knife. While it may not be the quality that it used to be, it is not a bad knife by any means. As a bonus, the assisted open scares the shit out of most people.

I go camping and I want an all purpose outdoors knife to bring with me.

For what though do you open cans and use it as a screw driver or what?

This is my favorite camping knife. At only $18 it stays sharp, is strong, and I don't care enough about it to baby it. It's carbon steel though, so you have to keep it clean or it will rust. It keeps a edge better than stainless though.

What is your primary goal in owning it?

[anabolice30]

Thoughts on SOG seal pup? It's reviewed very positively online, but for only $38 on amazon I have to wonder what kind of quality it is.

Heat anodized the titanium scales on my Boker Urban Trapper. I can dig it. Sitting on top of some old beater China knife I've been carrying since I was 13

Grips are scuttle ground way thiner than they look so they make fantastic slicers. i think they are supposed to be thiner at the edge than para 2s are
