Coincidentally, I think my Mom (still not sure who yet), sent me an 8" Frostfire series today. I was pretty bewildered, and came here to see if anybody has heard of them. I just got a Takamura the other day, and I'm trying to amass better quality knives, so i'm not sure yet if I'm going to...

That helps greatly, and I'm probably going to read this 50 times in the coming weeks.

Will not cheap out on those, absolutely not. It's already going to be a steep learning curve from the videos I'm watching, I don't want to have to worry about poor manufacturing in the equation. I'm guessing Sharpton is a legit brand since one of you guys recommended it?

Ok, thanks for clarifying. I knew this wasn't going to be a walk in the park, and I have nothing to compare it to, so here goes :)

Fairbairn Sykes fighting knife, ribbed/roped variant, made sometime in the mid 1940's.

Hello everyone, this is my first post here. I was passed down these three knives. I know my great grandfather used them, and gave them to my grandmother who I assume brought them over here from France back in the 1950's. Did some googling but couldn't find anything about who made them (other...

Hi, just joined. I'm interested in learning about kitchen knives, and get my knife handling skills up. Been cooking actively for over 15 years, but I still have a lot to learn, and I definitely need to expand on my knife collection. I also have a few family knives I would like help...
