Interesting idea, but I doubt this makes for a good knife. I'm being kind here.

I wonder how thin the lip is between the replacement blade and the false blade that holds it. The transition would be impossible to mimic a true blade.

Who needs particle accelerator/colliders when TigerSharp can cut atoms into sub-atomic particles?

Obsolete.
 
The original "tigersharp" blades were made of Gin 5 ( as opposed to Spyderco's Gin 1 steel steel.) I bought some to try it but don't like it as much as Gin 1. That was the first stainless I really gained respect for back in 92.

The TigerSharp knife line stands out from the crowd with it's patented Replacement Edge System (RES). This technology eliminates the need to sharpen a blade, allowing the user to have a razor sharp factory edge in a matter of seconds.

The TigerSharp Knife line includes Helium and Neon knives with color anodized aluminum handles, Krypton knives with G10 handles, and Zenon with Zytel handle. The TigerSharp folding knives have high tech features like dual thumb studs for one hand opening, liner locks and pocket clips. A fixed blade Hunting knife is also available.

All TigerSharp folding knives are packaged with one loaded plain edge blade and one part serrated replacement blade. The TigerSharp Hunting knife comes with two plain edge blades.

The TigerSharp replacement blades are made of premium GIN 5 steel that has been hardened to a Rockwell of 61, and Cryo tempered to -300 degrees for added strength. The blades are Marine grade corrosion resist stainless steel, and precision fit to .001" tolerance (1/3 thickness of a human hair).

No Idea what these are made of coming out of China I presume.

Blades made of Gin? But I gave up the sauce!
 
If the blades are disposable / replaceable, who cares how corrosion resistant and adhesive resistant they are?
 
Depending on the price, non knife folks might grab on to this idea.....much like the disposable razor killed the straight razor business.

A threat that may or may not pan out...... but were I a knife making company....id worry a little.....but just a little.;)
 
This doesn't seem like that bad of an idea to me. It will be a pain to have to find their blades when you need them.
 
I am not sure I like the idea largely in part it would create a creavice in which microscopic food particles to be trapped in, even with washing you would need to dissassemble the blade to properly clean it.Plus could cross contaminate other food unless to took it apart to properly clean though ( IE... Cleaning a Game animal and then cutting uncooked fruit or vegetables).Maybe I am overthinking it though, but I have never found any kind item where 2 different kinds of materials meet where debris,dirt or trash didn't form after time in some way or another regardless how tiny.Would Be a Hassle to clean to.
 
I thought of that too. If the blade slot is too narrow, the replacement blades won't fit in. If it's too wide, crap will get stuck in there, and the blade will wobble.

Honing a straight razor and shaving with it is a bit different than sharpening a pocket knife, I think. I can get 10 years worth of feather blades for about 70 bucks. It's convenient, inexpensive and easier than using a straight razor.

Fair enough. Bad example I admit......but my whole post was more in light sarcasm than in serious comparisons.
