Free Shipping at Knife Center this Weekend!
Hello All,I've had a busy weekend so far (Mother's Day & all) -- but as stated in the title, Knifecenter.com is having a free shipping weekend -- excluding large & heavy items, as usual. (Unfortunately, hatchets often count as "heavy," while machetes count as "large," so that excludes a couple items I've had my eye on recently.)Anyway, here's the link: https://www.knifecenter.com/And as usual, enter the…See More

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…

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.

Thank you dead_left_knife_guy. I haven't worked in the Sheffield cutlery industry since 1984 but I still have a passion for Sheffield's industrial heritage. Cutlery plays a massive part in that.
