Whats your latest knife purchase?

[MeatyMac]

I wasn’t planning on buying this but one of my knife dealers was having open house after they relocated, A Perfect Edge Cutlery in San Mateo, and I was working at their event on Saturday helping out and they had a ZT 0301 in the case and a new one in the box and the owner gave me a great deal so I grabbed it. They’re going to be having a clearance sale coming up in April, if you’re in the area.

I need to get a bigger clip for this beast...

If the Bugout was $20 less, or the same price with nice G10 scales instead of the FRN (plastic scales), I would consider getting one.

I had the same thoughts too. I was also concerned with the fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) scales. It is very very light and thin. It fits my EDC for now. I have several that I rotate depending on my needs or whim.

I like Kizer knives. Very good quality for the price. I bought a Kizer mini Sheepdog. It was my everyday carry until just recently. I picked up a Benchmade Blue Bugout which has become my EDC.

But, just recently picked up a Real Steel H5 Gerfalcon for just $34!

So I just got a Kizer Soze for a good deal and said what the hell. It's not the most practical EDC but a nicely made knife nonetheless. The false edge can easily be sharpened if someone wanted too.

Gyuto, 210mm, in 52100 carbon steel.

It’s made by Shi han Knives in New Mexico https://www.shihanfineknives.com

It’s an interesting blade, the steel if alive, it reacts to food like you see above and patinas in an instant, but cleans up; it’s a high maintance steel and will rust if you leave it wet, I apply a food safe Japanese.oil during storage. The edge is razor sharp and slightly toothy and the blade is thin, slicing is very effortless and accurate, for a tall blade it’s easy to steer because it’s razor sharp and thin; it’s considered a Chef’s knife but it’s too thin for an all purpose Chef’s IMO. The maker has an impressive story and philosophy, his ‘zero point’ philosophy, he talks about it in the link.

Wow, what style is that considered?

That knife shop at Pier 39 has the most expensive prices I think I've ever seen. Most of it was Chinese junk as well. I want to throw out a shout for Perry's Tactical in Concord. that's a small, family-owned business that has an amazing selection of the best stuff. All of it is priced pretty much the same as you see on the internet.

I carried my 0350 today, was doing some electrical and plumbing maintenance at a rental and used it several times, I go with the ZT 0566BW when I'm working my day job M-F...

[crufflers]

ZT 0566BW, fast, sure, this is the S35VN one, they're making them in ELMAX now; it's a little slower than the 0350 but I like it's size better than the 0350, I really like their assisted knives.

I miss my 0566CF, do not miss my 0350.

A friend at work stopped by that shop and got a handmade fixed blade for like $30 with a nice leather sheath.

I was in the knife shop on Pier 39 in San Francisco yesterday

Nice one. I will check out that shop someday. I have been looking at Trestle Pines for a while and haven't bought one yet... kid of kicking myself for not grabbing one of the Sheep's foot with crown lifter proto's they had on TSA.

I was in the knife shop on Pier 39 in San Francisco yesterday (it’s a tourist trap, yes, I know), the guy there probably moves more pocket and flippers than any other knife shop in NorCal and he’ll wheel and deal on cash. Small shop, big inventory, tons of foot traffic from mostly tourists,; nice guy, the owner, running the shop too. If you’re going go early and park on the street/meter parking on Beach and Stockton St., those garages are hose jobs...
