Help...Trying to catch back up...

I'd like to add:
1. In addition to CRK, look at Shirogorov and Koenig for flippers that will drop closed when the lock is disengaged.

2. Reate, and WE Knives are putting out some extremely high quality production knives. Bharucha, Pena, Diskin, Mah, Begg, and Chaves are all using Reate to produce Mid-Tech's for them.

And Brian Nadeau (the latest Evo Typhoons are being delivered and they are gorgeous; so good that I picked up a damasteel version when he was selling "extras" the other day).

jokrswylde jokrswylde you'll be glad to know that Buck still sells the 110, but they've also made a token effort at progress by offering versions in modern steels like S30V, S35VN and 20CV.
 
Kershaw still does their composite blades on some models. Posting from phone so like gorilla pecking at tiny keyboard....

I'll tell you this....whatever seemed to work for you back then will still work just fine today.

If anything, the knife game has gotten more childish since you stepped away, don't get sucked into the steel hype rabbit hole.

Good Luck.

LOL not a chance. I never really worried about it when it was 440c vs. aus 8 vs. bg-42 vs. cpm 154 OR infi, vs. a2, vs, d2, vs. 1095.

I'm a laid back kinda guy. I use 'em and if they get dull, I sharpen 'em.
 
Cliff Stamp left or got booted due to too many flame wars IIRC, but he has his own forum.

My fav is 154, it was good 15 years ago and its still good today but every thread there's always someone saying "OMG YOUR BLADE NEEDS TO BE REX45, MAXAMET OR M390!!!"

its nothing but hype from a bunch of "non-users"

WB - 2004 means you were just coming on board as I was drifting away.
I just recently returned to the fold myself. I had to direct most of my income to the power tool world so I could pursue a career in house renovation.
Health issues have forced me out of that -so - here I is!

At the end of the day - not much has changed. There's the same old 9mm vs .45 acp debate. PC vs Mac debate. Ford vs Chevy. Stainless vs rusty steel. Coke vs Pepsi (vs the only real cola which is RC)

RC is the best cola for sure. But Root Beer, except Barq's, trumps all.

One more thing, the answer is still SAK, Opinel and Mora.

Except for the guy who says smatchet.

Swiss army smatchet?
