I have this Nigara where spots of the bead blast on each side have been rubbed off. Since I don't have a blast cabinet, I'm wondering if and how I want to approach this. If it impacts your decision, I may be gifting or selling this knife. I had it for sale here briefly and before the rubs and...

Gorgeous! And that's a lot of knife for not a lot of money! If it were shorter it would already be gone.

Always a pleasure Oli.

Great job. Good for you! 👍 That's waaaaay better than my first handle I'd done wood working and used all those tools a bunch before.

I'm just glad the term "super steels" never caught on here.

5179 Don't feel bad @BillHanna. I tried to help with him with nakiri's and he didn't like my input either.

This knife whispers sucker fish to me.

Get some rest now @BillHanna. Get some rest.

Similar experience. I still have the numerous expletive laden emails. Never again.

According to Maxim, "work horse" started with a Kato and a chef:

That mid-lock with the cut out instead of being flat along the handle is known as the Boye Dent. Sal Glesser of Spyderco still calls it that on their knives. Makes it easier to find without looking. Dave Boye does interesting stuff for sure.

They're more widely known as rigging knives and a Marlin spike. You can find them as folders or two-piece fixed blades. Case, AG Russell, even Spyderco have all made or do make some version. Rough Ryder probably still does but I wouldn't put those anywhere close to a bespoke description...

I look forward to following along on your journey. I like where it's going so far! I also like the look of the knife like that.

RSK. I was a fan, even had the t-shirt. Then we had a dealing that didn't go well and he handled it even worse. No more for me.

Nah.

Congrats and enjoy the journey. :)

I will say this in complete honesty and people can judge it as they see fit... Like a lot of folks, I found CKTG fairly early and bought some knives from them. Never had a bad experience. Good selection, sometimes prices are a bit more sometimes less so good balance, dense video library, and...

You can mention Chef Knives To Go, the forum just won't link to them. I mean you know that's some bad blood when you can still link to Ryky. :)

I agree a 1k should work fine with SG2.

Got stones?
