Several different Kershaws and Hide-away-knives. Do a search for hide away knife, pretty handy little knife. I have the utility version in straight blade and claw.

What is the best way to sharpen your knife?
What about your kitchen knives (semi decent stuff Ja Henkels)
What if your EX-significant other abused them (kithchen knives) and they are all nicked up?

I figure you guys probably have links to this info or maybe it's a personal preference thing.
Thanks for your replies!
Ken

Picked up a DLC combo edged Leek at the show this week. I hate flying in and not having a blade. Felt good to rectify the problem.


the serrated edge is slightly different, a uniform scalloped grind rather than the compound serrated grind here, but an elegant, sharp, thin bladed gentlemans knife, I think. Love the speedsafe open on the Ken Onion designs.

Benchmade Griptilian, the best knife I've ever owned. I have several others, I typically buy a new knife every 6 months for one reason or another. Although this Benchmade gives me no reason to buy another in the foreseeable future.

Do you remember what brand? Happen to have any pix? I've got a Benchmade 42 I carry from time to time. Lots of fun to flip.

It's easily the best knife I own. I have several Kershaw's, SOG's, etc. and so far Benchmade has made me a believer.

Default Anyone else into custom or quality production knives?

I'm a bit of a knife nut. Here are some of my favorites from left to right. Mick Strider Custom XL SLCC, Strider SMF, Emerson Combat Karambit. The SMF is my work horse. Tough as hell. Any other knife nuts on here? Whatcha got?
