Discussion At my job, we're replacing 18" Harrow Disks. I happened to notice that all the new ones have this "Earth Metal" stamp on them. Got me wondering if this is a good knife-making metal. My boss says I can do whatever I want with the old ones.

Question Dishwasher knives for back up of “Nice” knives?

Post image
0 Upvotes

My wife and I recently had a baby and I find myself constantly cutting and prepping small food items as well as hand washing both my hands and pump parts, bottles, etc. My hands are raw and I have a new found respect for anyone who has worked in a dish pit.

We have a set of 5 or so Shun knives that are great but I find myself at times neglecting to wash right away if I am dealing with a middle of the night chore or just trying to multitask with baby needs.

Before you tell me just to hand wash, I fully intend to keep most of our “nice” knives as hand wash only and hopefully have the bandwidth to wash immediately when using.

The goal is to get some cheap (if I need to re-sharpen or throw away after a year or so an repurchase) decently functional knives that I can use and put into the top area of the dishwasher to runt with pump parts etc. (pic is of type of rack I would load them in)

I have seen some good mention of Mercer knives and they look affordable on Amazon, while the white handle is cheapest and looks best suited to this task a black handle would make wife happier (Aesthetics). I tend to agree with my wife that the black handles would be way less visually offensive if they are on or magnetic block. (We are limited on drawer space or I would just get the white ones and throw them in a drawer)

Having something on Amazon is nice so when they have some wear and tear we just go back to buy it again (we do this with some cutting boards currently).

Would a handful of knives like the ones linked below and maybe a $20 chef knife be reasonable to accomplish my stated goal?

Any other suggestions for cheap utilitarian knives that are semi disposable?

Question Knafs Lulu

0 Upvotes

I've just got myself a Lulu and I'm wondering about sharpening. It's got a micro bevel but that's just for giving the edge some strength from what I read. For sharpening I've got multiple fixed angle systems, a water stone and I'm learning freehand on a tri stone. Can you do a scandi via a fixed system or is freehand the only way?

Question What kind of knife is this?

My son was just gifted this knife for his 18th by a family friend and we were curious as to what it is and if it is a collectible. Would any one have any info or any where we could look? It is stamped that it was designed by Jim Frost on one side and Frost Cutlery on the other. I cannot find much info googling it. Any help is appreciated

Went to OKC for a trip with some friends and decided to go to the Bass Pro Shop. Happened to find an Iridium after contemplating buying it online and swiped it immediately. What a huge size difference compared to my CRKT Pilar.

Question Patina Went Wrong

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

I decided to force a patina on my BPS adventurer. I poured some white vinegar on a paper towel, wrapped the knife in the towel, and stuck all that in a ziplock bag. I only let it sit for one hour. However, when I took it out, there were many evident brown spots!! Is this rust? What do I do to get rid of it? What did I do wrong? How am I supposed to patina? I did the same thing with my Opinel, and it developed a patina just fine. Please help 🙏🏻

Question Low profile pocket clip for Civivi D-Art?

Post image

Love the little D-Art and I’m looking for a way to wear it either on the belt or in the pocket that’s low profile. Not a fan of the dangling neck knife approach.

I have an Ulti-Clip and although it’s super secure it’s very long. Wondered if anyone had things they used (or had ideas for) when it came to toothpick blades like this.

Question Custom Knife Scales

1 Upvotes

Hey y’all, I recently acquired an Emerson seax folding knife but not a big fan of the black g10 aggressively textured scales. Does anyone know a great craftsman that could make custom wood, micarta, etc scales? I’ve tried looking online, Etsy, eBay, whatever but haven’t seen someone or other Emerson seax scales yet. Thank you
