Got my few in the mail today. Mighty fine little knife. Sharp as can be. That is possibly the sharpest knife right out of the box I have ever received. I think it’s tied with the Sanrenmu 1161 for sharpest. Nice thick liner, decent lock up and the G10 isn’t too thick or too thin. Definitely a win. I am keeping one and passing one on to a buddy. Think I will grab a few more for Xmas gifts this year as well. I’ll keep an eye on the price.

My pleasure toddcshoe, glad you like it. I fully agree with what you said about it too. It’s just a great little knife.
I guess we all can thank raccoon city for calling attention to it by starting this thread. Glad I ordered my first one & saw how good it was. The rest is history… for all of us….
My last one arrived today. Gave a couple to 2 friends today too.
Contemplating ordering a few more…… :+1: . :money_mouth_face: . :money_mouth_face:
Thanks for starting the thread. I remember when you first brought it up I was going to order off of ebay I think. They sat in my cart for a while and I never did complete the purchase. Teacher giving it rave reviews finally made me order a few.
it's hard to see what all the fuss is about these Glaucoma knives.
I got mine the other day and cut myself three 4 times with it . The blade was very loose and it flipped back on my thumb twice .right on top of the cut that had just stopped bleeding. The other was when I used the blade to scratch the back of my wrist ...two more little cuts ... made it an even 4 cuts in about 20 minutes of chatting with friends and playing with my new knife . Later on I found a T8 torx bit and tightened the blade because it was sloppy loose .I didn't expect it to flip as quickly after snugging the screw down but it just got rid of the blade play and didn't affect the opening speed. It does close a bit slower but it was way too loose to start .
Used my Winco chinese cleaver, was washing it off as gingerly as I always do it, carefully because I know it’s sharp… I just lightly creased the flappy fold of skin between thumb and forefinger on the blade and felt it… barely.
Hmm, whew, ain’t bleeding. Ummm, nope, it’s bleeding. Oh yeah, it’s bleeding. Little stoopit “papercut” with the blade, but oh boy did it cut.
For a 10buk cleaver, it’s like a f’n samurai sword.
Just for a change.
I bought a coupla Japanese Kitchen knives for Daughters wedding present. 54 yrs. 3 kids. First wedding.
Says she was just making sure.
12 days fro Japan to Queensland. (Not bad)
Damn nice knives. Single edged Aogame Blue.
But, Cheapest I could get That I liked, were $300 plus each.
She;d better bloody like them.
Oh. She is a chef.
Ah well.
Back to my $12 speshuls again hey.
My little black SRM 6040 arives a coupla days ago.
Without the stupid clip, It’s a nice keyring knife.
Putting clips on those tiny things is a waste of materials I reckon.
SRM 6040 - I bought them for my kids last year. Every kid needs a small lock back don’t they. Hollow blade and sharp - good enough for them to carve their initials on trees …. Because that’s what they’re meant for isn’t it?
As far as ‘real D2’… not sure. But…. it holds a great edge. I have cut at least 200 feet of various thickness cardboard, hacked on a dry hickory stick, hacked on a pine 2 x 4, cut some rope, cut a bit of meat & fruits, & done some whittling…. it is still shaving sharp & has not been sharpened yet. I’m waiting to see what it takes to dull it. ;).
So at this point, for me; I don’t care what the steel is. It holds a great edge & will cut. :+1:
