Zero Tolerance ZT 0150

I've found that typically the Snap-on offers a thinner edge which allows it to slice better. The Craftsman is thicker, which increases it's toughness and edge holding ability, but produces rougher cuts and requires more effort.

A flathead screwdriver is always recommended for cutting over the phillips head variant.

Good info, bro. I'd hate to use the wrong tool for the job!

So would you recommend a phillips head for stabbing over a flathead?
 
EDIT. I was being too much of an ass.

Time to be sensible again.

Next time take the little extra time to get the right tool. You could have seriously injured yourself if the blade snapped and sent a shard into your eye or whatever.

No, I'd go with a flat head Jeweler's Screw-Driver~

While we're on the topic, what sort of screwdriver would you guys recommend for use as a chopper? Or should I use a power drill instead?
 
Alright. I think we've had enough fun here and I'm sure the message has been sufficiently communicated.
 
Sorry about your knife angi. Like the others have said, you shouldn't be using a tool for something it wasn't designed for (we all do it though). If you're really concerned something is wrong with your knife, send it in for warranty service, KAI has the best customer service in the business and they will take care of you for sure if something is off.
 
If he wants a really tough field knife, he really needs a smatchet.

Designs specifically to snug up those pesky laptop screws.

Lee Valle Tools offers this 27" 1/2" diam shaft flathead screwdriver specifically designed for chopping. You could actually split wood with this one, if you used it like a chisel and smashed the handle with a hammer. That might void the warranty on the heat treat though.

I wouldn't recommend that particular model as it has a complete lack of jimping. You could always mod it with skate board tape though.
 
I've used a pair of scissors as a screwdriver before. Worked surprisingly well, actually. If you don't have a screwdriver on hand, you use what you have. That being said, screws put a lot of sideways torque on a blade, and knives are generally not designed to take that kind of sideways bending along the edge. I can't think of any steel I'd want to subject to that. So it's no surprise to me that you had trouble.

In future, if you're going to use the review tag, it would be great if you'd actually write a decent review. You got my hopes up; at least I got some humor out of my visit to this thread.
