I live in a house with a lot of guys, and guys like knives. Well, mine do anyhow. I have been converted, and get just as excited about them. Not only are they great tools to have, but the can help you save your life in an emergency. This knife from Outdoor Games can do just that too. It is a great tool to keep in your vehicle. This folding knife has a built in seatbelt cutter as well as a glass breaker on it. It does not come with a sheath, but it does have a metal pocket clip on it. It’s a long metal pocket clip, and sturdy. The blade is a Tanto blade and was made out of 440C Stainless Steel. Overall this knife measures out at 8 ¼” long when opened. The blade measures out at 3.5” to the tip. They state 2.9”, so I would check my state laws before ordering it. We can have up to a 4” blade on us, here in NC. This is a heaver blade with the built in car safety features. It weighs out at 7.3oz with my scale. My knife arrived in perfect condition. It arrived with the usual factory edge, and in my opinion needs to be sharpened. If I want my knife to be able to be fully utilized, it needs to have a sharp edge on it, capable of shaving those hairs, lol. The blade test we always do. Even though it’s a larger knife for me, I can still do the one handed open and close. I’m not great at flicking it open yet, since it’s larger. It is also a little tight when it first arrives, which is normal. There is no play in the blade. When it is opened, it is well locked in. To close it, you just need to press your thumb against the liner lock and push the blade shut with your other fingers. The blade has a camo like finish done on it. It’s pretty sharp looking. The handle is metal with a black, plastic insert which has ridges on it. It helps with the grip, and the aesthetics. There is a lanyard whole already there for you as well. This is a great tool to keep in a vehicle. It would be great camping or hiking as well. In a pinch you can cut your Paracord, or anything else you need. It’s thick and solid, and a great price for such a useful tool.

A highly effective way to sharpen your knife. – Sgot’s Obecome Deluxe 5-Stone Sharpening System Kit. https://cspierdowis.com/a-highly-effective-way-to-sharpen-your-knife-sgots-obecome-deluxe-5-stone-sharpening-system-kit/ https://cspierdowis.com/a-highly-effective-way-to-sharpen-your-knife-sgots-obecome-deluxe-5-stone-sharpening-system-kit/#respond Wed, 20 Apr 2016 21:13:29 +0000 https://cspierdowis.com/?p=3680

I had always been fascinated by this type of knife sharpener. I am in a house of pro knife people, lol, and we have an array of sharpening devices. My older son, this year, bought himself a system like this, but with a large incorporated stand. This type of system really works a lot better than other sharpening systems. It takes a bit to get used to it, but once you do, you will like how well it works on your blades. This is a system that you glide across your knife’s edge. After you set the angle with the grit stone you choose, it’s just a natural movement across the blade. It is so simple to do. They give you 5 different options to choose from. Included in the kit are:

1 – 70 Extra Course Stone (black)

1 – 120 Course Stone (red)

1 – 280 Medium Stone (green)

1 – 500 Fine Stone (blue)

1 – 1000 Ultra Fine Stone (yellow)

1 Metal Stand

1 Empty squirt bottle for water or oil of your choice

1 Instruction Pamphlet

1 Storage Case

The stand is interesting. It is metal and lightweight. You really need to hold it when in use. I will probably have my husband make a wood base for it. It is not necessary at all. It’s just for comfort, lol. On the handles, are 4 holes. You choose your angle by inserting your chosen stone into one of them. Your blade gets clamped into this handle, so it doesn’t move on you at all while being sharpened. Both of these tasks are accomplished by screwing the knobs attached to both pieces. It is a no brainer to do. The four holes are on each side, so it doesn’t matter if you are right handed or left handed. You just flip it over to sharpen the other side as well. This method really does create a great edge on your blade. The stone literally follows the edge of your blade. I am really happy with it, as well as my husband. He has a knife that he has been using and abusing. His first time out with this sharpener, and he brought the life back into his blade with just using the extra course stone. My husband was quite happy indeed.

A fun knife from Elemental Knives. https://cspierdowis.com/a-fun-knife-from-elemental-knives/ https://cspierdowis.com/a-fun-knife-from-elemental-knives/#comments Thu, 07 Apr 2016 05:56:59 +0000 https://cspierdowis.com/?p=3461  

EK knife 3Recently, I had my car broken into, and had my being prepared supplies, and self-defense supplies stolen from me. That included my knife unfortunately. So, I was thrilled to be able to review this beauty. This is my first personal knife done in this design. This design is great for show and self-defense. It has a solid grip, a great sheath, and lanyard; perfect for neck carry. It’s a Hawkbill design, and the blade is also full tang as well. This knife is made out of 420 stainless steel. It’s pretty thick and sturdy; not a flimsy, bendy knife in the least. It arrived pretty sharp, but definitely has a factory edge. Pretty much what I expected. Another pro for this knife, is that it also comes with a solid sheath with lanyard hole. That way, when you are wearing it in neck carry mode, you just need to grab the handle, and with a quick tug, the knife is free to defend yourself. The blade on this knife is a 3.5” blade. You will need to check your state laws to make sure this is legal in your state. I’m lucky, it’s legal in mine. The ABS and fiberglass handle is comfortable to hold and it affords a solid grip. There is also a finger hole at the end of the knife. This knife measures 7 ½” in total length. It’s still pretty light at 3.83oz. I like the thumb grip on it. It’s comfortable, but really helps to ensure a solid grip. The finish on the blade and finger hole is pretty sharp looking. This is my first knife with the blade done with a design like this. I find it to be a lot of fun. This knife has found a home in my car. I am glad I have been able to replace my self-defense knife in my vehicle. Now I just need to replace my basic pocket knife.

Full tang Carving knife on a budget. – Brandobay’s Professional 12-Inch Carving Knife. https://cspierdowis.com/full-tang-carving-knife-on-a-budget/ https://cspierdowis.com/full-tang-carving-knife-on-a-budget/#respond Thu, 10 Mar 2016 01:46:56 +0000 https://cspierdowis.com/?p=2811 cheap carving knife 1If you like to make roasts, or serve large cuts of meat, it’s necessary to have a carving knife. I prefer full tang knives. They tend to last longer, and are more durable. This in turn, makes the carving job easier. Rarely do I find a factory edge sharp enough to thinly slice meat. So being able to easily sharpen your blade is also a consideration in purchasing a knife. Now, if budget was of no concern, then you really wouldn’t have to think about this. Well, for most of us, budget is a concern. Currently this knife is priced only at $11.87. It is a 12 inch carving knife, and it is also a full tang knife as well. The knife is made out of Stainless Steel, and the handles is attached to it very tightly. The handle is black, and made out of plastic. It is lightweight to hold and use. The knife measures out at 12 ¼” overall. The grip is solid, and the knife is easy to use. It has a sharp enough blade on it, but I think extra sharpening would really make it shine as a carving knife. Haha, it didn’t pass the shaving the hair on your arm test, out of the package. For the price, it’s not a bad carving knife. I do really like that it’s a full tang knife at this price point.
