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

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!
Posted on February 18, 2022 at 17:26 6 Comments 1 Like
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…

Thank you, sir. I am actually trying to get some information on that particular knife. My late father-in-law owned it for at least 25 years and likely longer. I had someone tell me they thought it was a Solingen, but it is stamped with what appears to be REICO at base of blade. I thought it might be the REI Company, which sells camping/hiking supplies and so on. I reached out to them and they advised they could not find anything in their records, but also thought it to be a Solingen knife. Any guesses?

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.
