Knife porn thread

Lovin' the new penknife... :)

It's nice when they're so simple like that. Just the essentials.

I just never like running the risk of having one without a cork screw.

If anyone's interested in all the different modles there's a blog somewhere where this guy is pretty much testing them all.

Although for some reason on a computer it seems hard to filter and find than on an iphon. Basically a reviewer called Matthew Robertson did a SAK of the Month

These are great budget knives - they sharpen well and hold an edge. Illegal in the uk unless you have a good reason to be carrying though.

That'll do it.

You can buy them without the locking ring, or remove it. Then they are legal.

Questionable about legality, and certainly dangerous, they don't have a spring, so they can really easily close on your fingers whilst buttering your baguette.
Just keep the lock ring and don't threaten anyone, and have a list of the things you use it for as a defence in the unlikely event of you being asked why you have it.
And don't take it to the pub, school, airport and stuff. You'll be fine!

leave some butter and crumbs on the blade, sorted

Had this discussion earlier with the misses when I popped out with one to take a clipping of plant down the road. My defence was that I was wearing Birkenstocks and had a tub of rooting agent.

I bought the sharpening jig thing (which I thought had been mentioned in this thread but I cannot find the post) and it has made my older chefs knife very sharp again.

I used to work in my mums restaurant when I was at sixthform many moons ago. The head chef used to sharpen all the knifes on a Sunday evening and not tell anyone. On Monday morning everyone cut themselves cutting veg.

Massive CSB.

as he leans against a wall like crocodile dundee and with a no.7 or 8 Opinel continues to peel and cut an apple at london street market , totally bemused.

me: "you cant do that,,, its against the law - a knife ilike that on a street like this"
vello: "why not?, my grandfather carries one in his pocket all the time in the country- why cant i carry one"
me: "just lose it or wrap it up or something"
vello: "ok"

The law says without good reason, so he was peeling an apple, that is good reason.

in which case, vello, please accept my humble apology.

The police actually does something against a person carrying an Opinel knife? It's not even a real knife...

I have carried a knife since I was given one from from my grandad, (I was about 10 years old) never been pulled for it, and the only person I have cut is myself.
so 35 years.

It's in the chef's knife thread.
