I've got one of these, it came with my tool box:
I've tried sharpening it, with no success. Is it because the knife is rubbish or is it user error?
I used to have one of those. It's not you. The material the blade is made from is terrible!I've tried sharpening it, with no success. Is it because the knife is rubbish or is it user error?
I've managed to get something just about usable on my Kershaw lock knife by dressing the edge to the geometry I need with some fine wet & dry then using of all things the shank from a solid carbide slot drill to polish the edge to a mirror finish.
The best steel I have ever come across was on a Ken Hom cleaver, it took an edge from a fine stone almost instantly and held it for years.
Also has anybody got anything by Chris Reeve that they want to sell? An Aviator or similar for preference.
Ah thats nice....right, I'm going to have to order an Orca Gen2.

As promised, and no I'm not nuts just aa collector.
Non lockers
Lock backs
Lock liners
Single bevel fixed
Yes, they all live in an old type setters chest.
Fixed blades, all these are hand made, some of them are hand finished by me. Yes that is a stone age axe head.
And one I made up for filleting trout.
Oh, and that is no where near them all, neither is this!
I did say this was my kind of thread!

That'll be another hour or three wasted on spyderco.com and boker.de.

Not mine sadly, guy's dad on another forum made it.
That is just stunning. Absolutely beautiful - seeing things like that makes me realise just how talentless I am.Member said:
da's been working at this recently.
Blade was forged in denmark, etched and inlayed with gold with the forgers initials
The wood isnt dyed, its black african iron wood. supposedly the densest wood you can get. i tried a file at it and barely made a mark in it.
bands are 925 silver.
and the ivory is from a mammoth tusk that was pulled from the north sea

Luck and hard work doesn't always mean skill. But thank you. 
onesickpuppy, slightly OT perhaps
But what the feck do you do with your Audi key in the summer? It really gets on my wick, far too big to leave in your pocket, can't leave it in the car, don't have a jacket in the summer, what do you do with it?
This is not a 'look at me I drive an Audi so I'm a knob' post, it genuinely annoys me

To be honest I've never really thought about it as it doesn't really bother me. Most modern electronic keys are about the same size aren't they? But I live in Scotland so we don't really get a summer anyway...But what the feck do you do with your Audi key in the summer?

That is beautiful as well. Where are people finding these? Any particularly good websites?
The answer to that question could cost you a fortune!try Brisa.fi for starters, moonraker knives have a fair range also.
Trying to resist a 2064 Enzo Trapper 95 with Amboyna burl ... gorgeous, can't really justify a fixed blade but will probably pull the trigger sooner or later.
