    Knife ID please thank you!!!

    My cousin bought this on ebay for 40$ or something, so chances are it isn't anything special, but he would still like to know who the maker is. That you so much. Unfortunately this one picture was all that he had. It is a western handle. Thank you so much!!!

    Opinions on nail flexers and very thin edges

    So, I got a myojin in the mail yesterday, and it has an ultra thin, nail flexing edge. I didn't get how thin they were when I purchased it from the stock photos. I guess I should've delved deep into the forums before clicking purchase. It does cut exceptionally well, but I sold a nail flexing...

    SOLD 240 takeda classic

    330$ - CONUS I've bought so many knives on tips from knife findings, and now I need to let some go. I did attempt to polish the edge, but it didn't come out very good, so consider this one sharpened on the bevel. I didn't really use it all that much except for some test cuts. Edge - 253mm...

    What is your favorite floor mat for home?

    Hi all, I've been looking into getting some anti fatigue floor mats. Well, kind of. The problem is really my feet have some bumps on the tendons there, so it makes it painful to stand still and I have to basically wear hiking boots all the time. Anyone have any recommendations for covering a...

    Advice for sharpening clipper blades

    I just got a standard poodle, and I wanted to try my own hand at maintaining the blades for the clippers used to trim her wool. I got a big bag of dull oster clipper heads, but cant seem to get them to cut better. In fact, after a few minutes on the waterstones, they usually cut worse. Anyone...
