[NBK] CRKT Soldotna Review

It’s a lightweight hunting knife with a classic feel to it. The Soldatna design celebrates CRKT’s 30th anniversary. If someone had made me guess what kind of knife they would put out for such an occasion, I wouldn’t have thought of a hunting knife like this. But that’s part of CRKT’s charm. They find a ...

My last knife was a kizer activ bantam and I really liked it.  Unfortunately I broke my never use a knife as a pry bar rule and snapped the tip off.  I intended to reshape it but then I used it to get rid of some unused wire in my freightliner.  There's another rule, only cut one wire at a time.  Bzzap!  Now it also has a pretty good divot burnt into the blade. 
I attempted to buy another one and it was discontinued.  I ended up with a zero tolerance knife with a 4" blade.  It's a touch large for a pocket knife but I'm getting used to it.
After looking at bladehq's steel characteristics page I gave s35vn a try with the kizer and decided I like that steel, so my zero tolerance is made with the same steel.  I don't like tiny knives as I find them difficult to use with my big hands, so 3-4" is about right for me.
Hopefully, I'll not have a brain fart and abuse this one so it'll outlast me and my grandchildren.  Unless you work in a packing house it's nearly impossible to wear a knife out.

I have a gas forge and a coal forge. Most of what I make is art-type or tool-type stuff, but I have made a couple of knives. Just not good at it yet.

[NBK] Kitchen Perfection Chef’s Knife Review

A Comfy Take on an Outdoor Kiritsune I didn’t expect to like this knife. I shouldn’t have.

[NBK] Kansept Tuckamore Review

This Quirky Powerhouse Cutter has a Premium Feel This knife is a lot like an Emperor penguin: it’s larger than you expect it to be, looks kinda funny, and seems like it should be wearing a suit, but you’re generally happy it’s around.
