Fine cutlery, EDC, and pocket jewelry": Here we post reviews, recommendations, tips about and appreciation of.

I work out a fair bit, and practice bjj and kickboxing, and always suggest exercise as healthy sources of dopamine, but yeah, it's been a few difficult few years.

I don't necessarily want to know about the part that was asterixed out, but I can help with pocket knives. I think that these are very well designed:

The Nine (BBSWCP) - CPM20CV

The Nine a mid-sized EDC with a full blade. Features a traditional profile with modern details for a gentlemen's carry that embraces work without compromising esthetics. Comes in a bead blasted handle and a stonewashed blade. Designed for everyday use. [split] Blade Length: 3.28 inches...

All good. I just have been seeing a LOT of knives that I like. I’m usually ok at maintaining self control though.

I saw these are getting restocked next week.

Urban EDC Baby Barlow

Not bad. Most fun small knife, though... is the Civivi Baby Banter:

The best all-around tiny knife is the Spyderco Roadie.

The Roadie was conceived to comply with the TSA's 2013 plan to allow qualified knives on planes. Although the plan was withdrawn by the TSA, Spyderco is ready for the day when knives and planes can coexist. Spyderco's Roadie is essentially an evolved version of a penknife for the modern man. It...

Not bad, but not fun. The Baby Banter fires super hard, and is good anywhere locking knives are legal, with a 2.34 inches of very well designed blade.

In terms of a high end knife that I like, and the finish looks amazing, but which I will not get because it's just not my jam, is the upcoming CKF Evo 4.0

The DLC and Carbon Fiber ones looks amazing:

Not a knife collector. Just have a few for specific tasks.

left 2 are EDC and others are hunting and fishing knives. I probably will add a few more for EDC and bushcraft.

Nice. For bushcraft, I really like Nessmuks. I have one that was a souvenir from my wife from Silver Stag, bought at a store with real pioneer era knives, but I would love to pick up something like this from Edge Knifeworks:

I like carbon steels as well, but upkeep is a PITA compared to stainless. Sharpening is super easy though. Shaving sharp in zero time.

I can get anything from 3V to 20CV to S90V shaving sharp with my pro stones, but only to a decent working edge with my field kit, usually. Tradeoffs.

Looks nice. i'd prefer something with a solid full tang that is not skeletonized, this one seems SFT? Probably fine, but i'd like a little bit more of an assurance when i put it to work in the bushes [i do tend over think a bit lol].

I also would love to have another filet knife. that silver stag slabf7.0 looks mighty fine

I think that skeletonization is just fine. It's either that, or a tapered tangm which can look more elegant, but ultimately, it's just to get the balance right. I get what your concern, but imho 1) It's really more of a concern for a survival knife, and 2) For bushcrafting purposes, a knife of thaat thickness is not going to break, even if you can a hammer to it. I guess you could snap the knife you you ater using it to pry stones apart, but even then, blade is most likely to go first, not the tang.

This in magnacut, is a good combination of good edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance:

Copping this

All Damasteel. So glad that it's sold out, because I have kids to put through school and 1250 Euros for a custom from Germany seems excessive.

Are these the same, just two different makers? Different branding only? Same designer?

BRNLY SQD-2

Pistol of a Knife New from BRNLY, the BRNLY SQD-2 is the big brother to the widely popular Squid. Inspired by the single-minded performance of a pistol (a bigger one this time), the BRNLY SQD-2 is designed by custom knifemaker, Lucas Burnley, and packs some serious heat in its compact frame...

Everyday Commentary

Edit - clearly they’re the same, the CRKT pages lists Burnley as the designer. So I guess I wonder, why would you self publish and at the same time let CRKT sell your knife for roughly 60% of the price?
