Knife Thread: All about Knives and other edged tools
Lost my other edc which was the CRKT K.I.S.S. Assist (if anyone can find another please let me know asap!) and this might be just a tad too small but wont take up any room in my pocket.
It didn't occur to me until the other day that my Hubertus auto and my E30 are both German and about the same age too, my Dad gave me this and IIRC he bought it in the very early '90s.

Brought this guy out of retirement yesterday. Lost my HK/benchmade and sadly it's now discontinued. Almost bought a new benchmade and remembered I had this tucked away.
Spent about an hour bringing it back, now I just need to get some screws to replace the couple that have gone missing.

Anyways, mustangs are gay and mini vans are faster than your car, you just have to deal with that.
this crkt is ok but the handle is too thin and the safety for the lock is stupid. Flipper by jet jones, on Flickr Crkt by jet jones, on Flickr
this kershaw is ok too. i like the blade shape, it has the nice "shhik" when you flip the blade out
but it's made in china. huh? Kershaw by jet jones, on Flickr
Like many other knife enthusiasts, I was inspired by that show Forged in Fire. We don't have cable TV, I only caught a single episode while staying at a hotel. While watching, I decided that if those neck beards can make knives, then so could I.
Using 0-1 tool steel, I went easy for my first attempt by making a heavy Nakiri type blade with a handle patterned after one of our Wusthofs.
Not really knowing what I was doing, and wanting to learn on the cheap, I got some cork flooring samples from Home Depot to make the handles. Turned out surprisingly good.
