[KnifeNews] Civivi Recruits its Newest Collaborator for Wharnie Blade User

More knives from Civivi are a-coming down the pike – anybody surprised? Next up to discuss is the Nugz, a wicked wharnie from first-time Civivi collaborator Matthew Wehrwein. The Nugz appears to be a slightly sized up production sequel to the Nugget, a Wehr Knives custom with a stubbier blade. The Nugz’s blade measures 3.17 […]

I've been collecting modern and tactical style folders and fixed blades for a good while but with the encouragement and great advice from the forums, I decided to get my feet wet with a few Traditionals!  I'm starting out on the inexpensive side so I can try them out and see what styles I like but I gotta say, so far I like them all!  Variety is the spice of knife collecting!

I'm sure most of you are familiar with these guys but here are my new Colt Black Stag Canoe, Rough Rider Copperhead in blue smooth bone, Marbles Ram Horn Canoe and Marbles Ram horn Stockman!  They all seem very well built and sharp right out of the box!  I'm pretty happy with these selections so far but I am anxious to add a couple top tier traditionals to my collection down the road!

[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.
