So yeah, it's a made-up holiday for knife retailers (I think Smoky Mountain Knife Works was behind it), but most if not all the big knife stores celebrate (that is, have sales) for the "holiday". …Continue

FREE SHIPPING WEEKEND at Knifecenter.com!
Well well well, here it is again -- another FREE SHIPPING WEEKEND at Knife Center!I haven't really been tracking the frequency of these things, but I'll guess maybe quarterly? Doesn't really matter, because I just blew enough cash over the recent retail holiday we've all come to know & love (National Knife Day, August 24), & there's been so much going on, with the end of summer, kids going back to school, all that. Not to mention the recent Spyderco sales...All that said, if you're…See More

Welcoming the Benchmade Meatcrafter!
"Nice spot, JJ!
That little Razel (the CRKT Folding Stubby Razel, I believe is the official name?) is actually one I hold in high esteem, a personal talisman or good luck charm, as it were. I love the softness of the texture of the scales…"

Happy National Knife Day 2023!!!!!!
So yeah, it's a made-up holiday for knife retailers (I think Smoky Mountain Knife Works was behind it), but most if not all the big knife stores celebrate (that is, have sales) for the "holiday". And there are some for whom this really is a holy-day, so good for them!And for many of us, every day is Knife Day. And sometimes, it's even "New Knife Day (NKD)". And for some of us, those of us who are just so fortunate, in just the right way, during just the right moon, and alignment of the…See More

ContinueCold Steel SRK-C vs. Mora Garberg
Posted on March 7, 2022 at 22:18 1 Comment 3 Likes
At some point, I answered a question on a Facebook group for Mora users & collectors. While that answer was a bit of a knife review in brief, I have no idea what happened to that reply I made and it's likely forever lost to the annals of Facebook.
The summary, however, is this: the Cold Steel SRK-C ("C" standing for "compact") is a very viable alternative to the Mora Garberg. The SRK-C has a saber grind, similar to the Garberg's, but the grind is higher, giving the SRK-C better…
ContinueBlade HQ Has Free Shipping for President's Day Weekend!

Hey all! This time it's Blade HQ that's offering the free shipping -- and from what I can tell, there's no size limit! (I often pick up a machete during the Blade HQ free shipping sales; I placed a machete in my cart again this time, & again, the shipping was listed as "FREE"!) And as far as I can see, there's no minimum (I had a $12 item in my cart, & the shipping was also listed as "FREE").
The sale starts today, Friday, 2/18/22, & goes through President's Day,…

Well well well, here we are yet again with a FREE SHIPPING weekend at Knifecenter.com! Just use the code FREESHIP at checkout, & remember that certain exceptions apply (mostly the large stuff like machetes & heavy stuff like axes).
And while Atlantic Knife & White Mountain Knives have free shipping all the time, Knife Center has a larger inventory, so I think it's still worthwhile.
While I'm not affiliated with Knifecenter.com in any way, I will disclose the fact…

Hello ,
Thank you for your message. I'm a bit long to answer because I 've to learn how the forum works. Yes I've a komboloi in my pocket since my 20 years old (first trip in Greece 30 years ago ). I have only have traditional komboloi because I can play slow or faster. I'm not good with begleri. Have a great week end .

- Thank you, sir! It's great to be here. I plan on doing all of that. But mostly, in glad I'm not alone in this addiction. I'm on a Spyderco kick lately. Just ordered a new PM2 (satin plain blade, g10 handles). I'm thinking of doing a YouTube channel for my collection as well, if that's allowed here.
