Let us know, if the mechanism is shortliving, as the usual Stilettos are told to be!

This is my custom Beowulf from Midgards Messer. I just bought it.

From Ivan Campos, a Brazilian maker, just arrived a couple days ago

Grabbed an Opinel No.8 Inox with oakwood handle, today.

I have to sharp it now on my water stone, because there was no sharpness. We will see !

 

[Trenchfriend]

So far, so good. Now it has at least a basic sharpness!

 

[Trenchfriend]

Gave it another try and now surprisingly reached 4/5 sharpness!

 

[Trenchfriend]

Böker Worldwide 2.0, really sharp out of the box!

 

[Trenchfriend]

You always have to remember, that it's 5/5 sharp.

And never forget the STRONG spring, when you close it.

I chose a First Generation Strider SnG today

IYKYK

 

[Trenchfriend]

Got the Opinel No.8 Inox with walnutwood handle, today.
I had to sharpen this one on my water stone, too. Now it´s 4/5 sharp, like my other.

But yeah, I think, I get the point with the classic Opinel. They just got this "sympathic" thing, when in your hands.

VERY nice. Haven't seen a Hattori in a while. Is that the 5.11" blade?

I found one with sheath and box.

938-B.....Yes
I found one with sheath and box.

THAT was a spectacular score, as you already know!

My wife is an executive chef and I until recently had a 12 year run as a weekly columnist writing about food and cooking. Here are a few of our knives. I can tell you that expensive doesn't always mean quality. There's a Kramer here we never use and I'm sorry I fell for the cool Almazan cleaver/knife marketing. The blue handled Misen knife arrived quite dull and is hard to sharpen. Amand's go-to is that purple handled cheap one.

So true. One of my favourite kitchen blades is a Takeda which, though not cheap, really isn't that expensive and is amazing to work with (and I am a huge euro knife fan, not Japanese...)
