That looks like it will probably be able to cut stuff.

LOL- You're killing me Steve! Cut stuff? Man, you can cut from hell to breakfast w/ one of RJ's knives.

Holy crap. I have a $3000 CNC mill sitting in my dad's room (making his large format camera back patent) that I can't even program to cut 2 rectangles. (The sad part is my dad is expecting me to be the programmer)

Better bone up on your G code! Check out a book call Computer Numerical Control Machining by Mike Lynch, and keep your finger on that feed hold button. Probably better override those rapid Z moves too. Crashes bad for spindle.

Wait, computer crashes? I'm still trying to figure out to impose a square (rectange)within a square (rectangle)

I wasn't refering to computer crashes.

After about 3 weeks of using the knife I now think the CNC marks are not very good idea. The knife is more difficult to clean. The problem is maybe caused by the fact the grooves are not smooth and some materials will stick to them quite well. Also if you are used to cleaning the blade in direction from the pivot to the tip - just forget it. You have to claen it from the spine to the edge. Other that that the knife is an excellent user but if I had a choice now - I would take version with plain blade - if it was available.

Normally i am more of a fixed-blade type, but this knife looks outstanding! Very very nice

Gonna check on the net for prices right away

Thank you very much for the infos. So plain blades are better after all. The knife is cool anyway
