New Knife recomendations

[NorthernRaider]

I use oughly the same technique for all my blades cept axes and hatchets, I prefer roughly a 22 degree v shape edge on my blades, I also keep a blade tech sharpener with my knife regardless and use it frequently to retain a good edge

[CharlesHarris]

Factory edge on the K-Bar is a 22-degree +/- 1.5° bevel which is flat ground using 600-grit rotary wheel with the blade and entire fixture submerged in a food grade honing oil, the same as used in mass production of restauant cutlery. A shallower angle and finer grit permit a sharper "shaving edge" but a fine edge has less strength and will break down when the blade is used in heavy cutting, as in batoning through heavy rope, wooden poles or splitting the pelvic girdle of a large animal. I prefer a strong utility edge on my work knives,and for fine work or surgical uses carry a few sterile packed No.10 prep blades in my first aid kit, and a scalpel handle.

I have seldom seen such blatant spam.

It is especially irritating when one realizes that the horribly high price of $15 is for an item that can be purchased on E-bay all day long for $0.99 cents.
