What did you use your knife for recently? Just post a photo of your knife at work, or its accomplished mission: beer bottle opening, wood carving, food prep, whatever.

Here's my favorite, a Mora 2/0 doing some spoon carving.

Whaaahhhsup Dog,

Sorry, I couldn't help saying that.

I like your thread so here's me going to town with my Cold Steel.

Note the mellon knife next to it on the cutting board. The significance is that when I got the mellon knife it was fairly sharp from the maker, shaved some what as I recall but the stock bevel was so obtuse it simply would not cut a fresh roll. I could just slide the blade back and forth, back and forth and nothing. Not until I put the 'bagger bevel on 'er ( much shallower angle (and polished)) that it became a roll slicing monster.

Annnnnnnnny way the whole point is that the Cold Steel Hold Out One easily sliced rolls, and frighteningly so, from day one; no bevel change.

Wowbagger . . . saving the world with his Hold Out . . . one roll at a time.



 
Hold Out I is one of the best food-prep blades out there.

I cut fruit with it, you cut bread, Stiletto (on Coldsteelforums) prepares his meat and processes steaks...

AAAAAAAAAAAAH !
WHAT IS IT !

It’s hideous
It is all wet and dripping with some sort of thick oooze.
It seems to have been singed by some fiery hell but still living
it’s huge ! It is all I see
I’m out of here.



BUT WAIT
I have my trusty Cold Steel Hold Out One
I’m going back in for the kill.



Thrust

Thrust
Parry
THRUST
Got ‘em !



Oh
not to worry.
Now that I have some perspective it is just one of my HUMONGOUS honey cinnamon crescents that they make locally here.

In the past I had a hard time subduing one then one day the Hold Out was added to my arsenal.
Now it’s a piece of cake.





PS: see . . . you should never have got me started.

The Peacent,
Talk about perspective !
Yours looks like a machete next to that fixed blade.
