Thank you Relampago
I will probably go for Spyderco.

Really?? You must have big hands??
I actually do not like the shape of the handles on the original 3 or 4. I was glad when they came out with the ESEE-3HM & ESEE-4HM. I like these handles really well. Picture of the ESEE-3HM below.

I also love that GoCommas and can recommend them.
Can someone recommend a tool to sharpen knives?
Something not too expensive…
I use these compact and inexpensive Lansky crock sticks:
What I love about ceramic and carbide sticks is that I can get a working edge with like 5 passes.
Family picture :
Land (SRM) changed the name of some of their knives (like the 9104 became 913, green 910 became 911, ...) a few monthes ago.
All of them are pretty good knives with a good finish and sharp enough out of the box.
The small one on the top is my edc. I got several of the same kind on GB while they where on sale and no "washed" 7010 was available. I didn't like the shiny black coating too much and the sharp edges (frame, blade back) were very uncomfortable on such a small knife so i decided to soften everything with fine sand paper and steel wool and i am very pleased with the result (reflexion on the picture makes it look more "white" than it is for real).
I don't know what steel it is made of but i am using it everyday for food, cardbox, whatever and need to sharpen it less than once a month.
The 9xxx are pretty big knives and that's why i love them (i used to carry an INRON MY802 as edc for long time) but because of terrorism paranoia there is now too much a chance to get in trouble carrying such knife where i live so i eventually went with the 7010 : still supposed not to be allowed (no lock allowed) but the smaller size and nice look (hey flowers !) makes it easier to carry and less frightening.
I have not used the 811 "for real" enough to have an opinion so all i can say is it looks as good as the others.
/\ Nice “family picture”, thanks for sharing.
@ Adahn Very nice work!! . :+1: . I bet that was a job getting that all lined up correctly….
You bet right
But it was worth it
Now I’m thinking about making a scale for my SRM 813. Not sure if I’ll make it before I tried my dc supply for anodizing
@ Adahn… Thanks for the pictures. And again…. great work!!
Wow impressive work! The knife is really light now and still with a solid steel frame-lock.
very nice work adahn
That cheap sharpener on No1 frame.
I’ve used a version of that for a few yrs now.
The only difference being I bought a set of DMT Diamond Plates (that fit) in leiu of the “stones.
Does a great job so far.
Just kept the purple stone for polishing.
Gives a nice even grind for kitchen but a little iffy for smaller blades.
I still do them, with the plates. By hand.
Made up a angle “L”plate with base and several holes in vertical to give grind angles.
:person_facepalming: . That did sound like a commercial didn’t it?
But yeah…. I do like it. At $10 it is a no brainer & from what I have seen “so far” it stacks up darn good against some of my knives that cost MUCH more.
I am still shocked & amazed by that……
Your commercial testimonial so good I just ordered it. Thank you.
/\ … Hope you enjoy it.
Couple of years back purchased a Ganzo G720 due to reviews on this site. Seemed to misplaced it a couple months back, but since I’m not a daily knife user and have 2 SRM 7063 AUC - LI at hand couldn’t be that upset. Right now I am however starting to miss it and am looking for a replacement.
What I liked about the G720:
- Weight, it was quite a chunky knife and felt good in my hand
- Size/grip, see comment above
Going through this topic I’m seeing some new brands like Brother and Fura. So I’m wondering; should I just go for the G720 again or do you guys know a better/good alternative?
Get it while it’s still available.
I agree. The G720 is amazing as a worker folding knife, very comfortable and a fat blade with textured G10.
In the market again.
I’m really liking my Ganzo 7582, but it’s a bit big for EDC. Ideally I’d get a Pro-Tech Calmigo, but they are spendy.
I messed with some spring loaded tab and flipper tab assisted knives and I think I can get along with them.
Looking for a 2.5” blade, and relatively thin profile, simple no serration drop-point.
What’s out there?
The CH Outdoor and GoComma stuff look ok. I’d prefer something with a axial/axis lock as I’ve got a youngin in the house.
New FH41, the best Ganzo knife
