What are your dirty little knife secrets

I once considered getting a Superknife.

I really do not like Buck knives. I think everyone should have a 110, but I would never carry mine and do not like the steel at all.

I have very little experience with and have no reason to hate Cold Steel, but I do.

I think that calling every one handed open knife with a locking mechanism a "tactical knife" is silly.

I do not have any traditional slipjoints aside from an old barlow and some fair knives from when I was a kid. I still cannot seem to justify buying one, even though I love SAKs.

Even though I have fairly expensive knives that are up to any knife-related task, I use cheaper, easier to replace knives for hard use.

When I carry my Sebenza, I always carry a separate knife for cutting anything that might damage or scratch the Sebenza in any way. Also for lending.

I have a Furi knife I use fairly often in the Kitchen. I use Tramontinas more. I havent got decent kitchen knives because my Fiance would destroy them.

I am annoyed by Superknives. This is mainly due to the huge influx of them around here recently, and everyone that has one seems to think that they are the greatest thing in the world. They even scoff at my regular knives because theirs is "Easier to sharpen".
 
I normally carry 3 knives plus a multitool...no wait make that 4 plus the multi. I could get by with just my paramili and my multi but still carry the others and I don't know why.

Actually, this is exactly why I haven't really broken down and gotten any good knives for the kitchen either. My girlfriend will use the rough side of the sponge to clean them, put them in the dishwasher, leave them wet until they start rust spotting, or just leave them covered in food stuff.

- I thought all Spydercos were junk. I remember their pinned together knives with plastic handles in the 80s with their weird blade shapes and their monster serrations and I thought they were atrocious. I now have a Tenacious, and I was literally bowled over. For 25 years I laughed at people that carried Spyderco - no more :thumbup:

That's priceless. After reading World War Z and the Zombie Survival Guide, I regularly daydream in class about what knives I would need to survive an outbreak.

I bought a Buck 110, because I thought every true knife lover had one . . . sold it.

My only kitchen knife is a Mora 760. I leave it in the sink a lot and end up having to scrub the rust off before using it again.

I also think Sebbies are way overpriced.

When people ask me why I carry a knife around, I usually just tell them they don't understand. I don't think I do either . . .
 
I think people that cut themselves on a regular basis are silly and not being carefull enough with their knives.

I've only cut myself 4 or so times in the past 5 years and that's less than my wife has who's NOT a knifenut.

I'll probably never spend over 100 euro's on any knife.

I have only cheap knives.

I have less than 10 knives.

That's awesome!

I have one that's a secret to me:

At some point, I must have called a Spyderco knife "fugly" and even though I don't remember doing it, Sal hasn't let me live it down. :confused:

Same here. And I work in a knife store. I always get a secret kick out of my manager screwing up and nicking himself. :D He's the business brains, but I'm the product brains. We make a good team. ;)

As far as kitchen knives go, I can have as nice of ones as I want and not worry about my lady destroying them--she has me cut everything for her! :D
 
I have reshaped the handles on several of the customs/semi-customs that I own. :eek:

My first nice knife is still my favorite and I have pretty much given up on ever finding one that I like more.

-I can watch Noss's videos over and over and got a real kick out
of how the Green Beret was spanked by the clone that costs
1/6 of the "real" deal. :D

-One of my favorite folders is a zytel Ti Lite.

-The last four knives I have bought are Cold Steel(I love my
Cold Steel Kukri Machete).

-I believe Lynn Thompson is a true "pioneer" in the knife industry.

-The knife I use more than any other is a boring SAK.
 
I have a number of expensive knives but I’m afraid to break or scratch them so I rarely use them for actual uses. Despite every time I buy one of these high dollar knives I convince myself that I’m going to use them for everything.

Cold Steel makes a bunch of knives dedicated to making short cuts. Coincidence?

And, yes, for the people who go "why do you hate Lynn Thompson so blah blah blah blah," I implied Cold Steel's line of conveniently carried, small fixed blades are used for cannibalism. And, no, I'm not serious. And, yes, I like LT's blades and even a good deal of his over-the-top advertizing. The K4 is one of the coolest small fixed blades I've ever used.
