There is no such a thing as a bad knife

[zorandjurkic]

I am in love with this knife. Ontario was my first choice company for 1095 blades (fixies). I needed real pocket knife and here it is. Have M size hand. Maybe would be a problem for bigger hand to open with one but with two hands is not. Quality and craft are perfect. But it's so sweet! I hope that Ontario would continue with work somehow.

There are bad knives. We even got a picture of one.

No bad knives, only bad owners. Wait, whut?

My knives aren't bad. I just sharpen them that way.

I disagree. Not all cheap knives are bad, but bad knives definitely exist.

Thought I would offer the offender a tacticool Green Beret folder:

I don't know why he was so unimpressed.

I'm predicting pics of a house brand knife from a large retailer are coming soon.

I can confirm that bad knives do exist.

However, the real problem is that there are too many good knives.

Maybe I'm living a fairy tale, but I've seen with my own eyes that there's no such thing as a bad knife

Well, maybe not a bad knife, but certainly my least favorite. Despite the many good things about it (size, weight, smooth operation), I quite dislike the chisel grind because I seem incapable of getting it to razor sharpness. Sorta okay sharp, sure, but not what I like. Nonetheless, I keep getting it out and fooling with it because it is kind of cool, albeit way down on the bottom of that ladder.

This is a poorly sharpened knife, it doesn't look bad at all Who made this?

I had Emerson CQC folder and fixed. The original Emerson has two balls to hold the blade in the closed position. I really liked that. Both were chisels with a secondary blade on one side only. I managed to sharpen them with a Lansky sharpener. I sharpened the beveled side at 30 degrees and the flat side at the smallest angle. Today I have Worksharps (both) and would do the same (30-15 degrees). But I don't have the knives anymore. They were 154CM steel and extremely well heat treated.

We've asked.

It's de-laminating/cracking too but that's not important.

I disagree.
There are inexpensive knives and there are cheap knives. Inexpensive knives can be good. Cheap knives are not good and should be disposed of in the trash.

And so little money

You realize that this means you're claiming to have visually expected every knife in existence, right?

Maybe here's a new rule.

If you don't own a bad knife you don't own enough knives.

Not bad, just owners

 

[Danke42]

Short form

You don't own enough knives
