i made this thread so knife enthusiasts could vent their feelings on particular knives, good or bad without having to search the entire forum to find the right post. also this is a good place to learn from one another because their is such a variety of members to learn from. so enjoy the freedom of talking about anything sharp including swords,folders,fixed blades and more !

enjoy your freedom !
and also to get things started ask me a question that you might have, i have 6 years of knife experience!
 
FREEDOM! I sharpend a buddies buck 110 fg. He says he's gutted and skinned 6 deer and it's still sharp! Damn it, it's not a bad steel! There's plenty of threads saying it doesn't hold an edge, though!

depends. if your cutting for instance animals skin, it is fairly soft so it will hold an edge. however if hes cutting threw bone then thats another story! by the way any idea on what type steel it is?

I can engrave and file Case SS blades fairly easily - cannot do that with a Buck 110. The blades are actually pretty hard for a steel that gets knocked so heavily.
 
I'm a new member here myself and yet find it odd that another new member is in here attempting to act as though he's been assigned the task of moving discussion in the General Knife Discussion. Looking at the first three or four pages of the forum, seems like plenty of knife discussion is going on. Also, I find it hard to ascribe any authority or respect towards your statement of "I have six years of knife experience!"

What does that "knife experience" entail exactly? Making knives? Do you have a stack of back issues of Knife Illustrated at your house? Six years of using knives to cut things?

I'm not trying to be a jerk, I just come from the school of thought that new members kind of contribute where they can, not just come in, set themselves up as some sort of knowledgeable authority.

That's just me.
 
I have a Gerber 06 Auto, an Emerson Alliance and a Propel A/O. All decent knives. I think that anything other than USA made Gerber's are junk. Not because of where they are made, but because Gerber refuses to control the quality of their overseas made goods. The Chinese are very capable of making a good high quality product. If, they are held to a high standard. If they produce junk, and Gerber is happy with it, then why not keep making junk. Spyderco Tenacious is made in China. They are much better than almost any Gerber made in China. I would bet that they are probably even made in the same factory... just that Spyderco holds they makers to a higher standard.

if you didint want to look like a jerk you should have posted that comment in a more respective manner, however some newer members get their threads removed because they put them in the wrong catygory but this way it dosint matter becuase you can talk about any knife topic in this thread.
FYI: if you dont find this thread necesarry dont post your so called oppinion on it.
thanks

i believe this thread is to talk about anything knife related not speculating wether or not someone has experiance with knives
p.s i work at house of knives in which case i need to know what im talking about, plus that statement was to start the thread off so peaple would feel obliged to ask me a question. again this thread is for knife related talk if you have an oppion to vent go to a diffrent forum

I had a Gerber EVO thst, after getting a replacement, I liked. Thin easy to use and beat up. I'm not even gonna pretend I read the whole thread.

Anybody have a gec farmer lock? How is the play?
 
I still have a Gerber MK-1 from early 70's Its been many places while in military and out of . Carried the Gerber pocket knife same time. Looked like a smaller Buck 110 I don't remember the model .I lost it some place. Both were good knives.
 
Apparently the OP at one point had two threads where he invited participants to freely talk about knives. One was just a general conversation thread (which he kicked off by asking about Gerber knives), and the second one was an invitation to "Rant" about knives. Apparently a desire to create a forum within a forum. Since pretty much the entire forum is a place to freely talk about knives (while following the forum rules of course), it may seem redundant.

The two threads were merged into one, which may have caused some confusion.

The OP also has said that he has worked in the retail knife business in some capacity at a Canadian retail knife store chain named "House of Knives" for 6 years and would like to share his knowledge gained during that time with us all.

I think that sums it up so far, if you are coming in late to the show. There's fresh popcorn in the lobby.
