ALL THINGS BUDGET KNIVES

I don’t think that frog lube is very similar to the naval jelly.
Frog lube is a bio based product and it’s food safe.
It’s sold as a eco friendly gun cleaner and lube

“Navl Jelley” is a rust remover, it does not prevent rust.

I think Naval Jelly and Coke or Coca Cola, have Phosphoric Acid,

Here is a nice video comparing a few rust removers:

You are correct on the Naval jelly but Coke (coca cola) is Carbonic acid from the carbonation.

Coke, Pepsi, and a few other sodas do in fact contain phosphoric acid. It makes them more acidic than what you’d get from just the dissolved carbon dioxide in plain seltzer.

Hello guys and girls.

My review of the most extreme parts of the Brother brand!:

You already know that I loved the SRM 7228, you have it reviewed both on my blog and on my YouTube channel, but I always thought that I would love to have the same model in a larger size.

Well that time has come…

I hope you like the comparison.

Well, it was time for the review of this SRM model, which is quite popular for its appearance :sisi1:, I’m always attracted to “clip point” and “tanto”:.

Honestly, I just leave the stain on there. I don’t consider myself a knife collector though I do have more knives than I care to mention. My knives just like my guns, tools, flashlights etc…. Get the living hell beat out of them. The function of all of those tools are flawless but I don’t get bothered by a superficial blemish’s. It’s not to say I don’t care about them or care for them but, they are all tools first and everything else second.

Anyone else like that or am I alone in this one?

well, sort of similar….flashlights and knives especially.
with guns, walnut stocks deserve attention, and the bore
gets some too, but in general, tools; like you said.

I’d just worry about that stain “anchoring” itself for rust to return faster. I don’t mind a little extra effort to keep the blade clean. And for one a blade that will get a lot of moisture exposure, I’d pick S35VN.

since anything over $19 is not “budget” for me….
here is a $10 one i got off Craig’s List:

I see your point. No use letting rust take over for good if you can actually prevent it. I usually end up losing knives before they get time to rust. :smiley:

Not a huge D2 fan. My Wesn knife that I seem to use the most is S35VN and seems to take a pretty good beating, keeps an edge for a while and yes, no rust.

One of the most visually spectacular knives I have:

Review: Chinese Knives: Review Shieldon Tranchodon 7093D1

Received two Kizer Towser knives bought during 11/11 Sale. The copper one is nicer than the blue canyon(made of recycled paper!), especially after removing dark patina with Brasso.

back to Frog Lube:
it smells like candy
and she smells good.

2 Kubey knives arrived from AE. One with rust (and they came sealed), the second with wrong grind. Unfortunately I have one more order on the way, but after that no more Kubey for me. Also the seller sends order from 2 different Kubey stores together, so some buyers can get unexpected problem with the customs.

I like Opinel’s, they cut well and are not very expensive. It would be nice if sometimes they put more high-alloy steels on them

Another owner of one of those scalpel folders

I’ve got the black one for the 60 sized blade

I really like it and have been carrying in my back pocket beside my wallet

I do find it very difficult to put blades in. Once it’s lined up I need to brace the tip against some wood and hammer it in. This isnt great for the tip, but because the blade is about 1mm too long and sticks out when folded, I have to cut/snap a bit of the tip off anyway. Even still I have cut myself a few times and must always carry it tip down.

As a flipper with virtually no mass in the blade, it flies open
