Knives for ladies

[RevolverRob]

The longer I try and use a stone (from memory) the duller my knife gets. :O

I like the various angle aligners a lot. They really helped me figure out how to identify and maintain a good bevel. I also discovered that for me, it's much easier to keep the blade steady and move the stone across it than to try to free hand a blade across the stone.

I think that's why all of the "pro" systems (e.g., Wicked Edge, EdgePro, KME, etc.) all use a clamp to hold the blade and stones that move across it.

Stropping of course you do blade in hand, but since you're dragging the flat of the blade towards the edge, it's easier to maintain the angle.

As soon as I'm shaving hair off one of my limbs, I call it good. This sounds really sharp!

Really, that's all you need. I just like it when you can almost feel an "aura" coming off a knife, because its so sharp. I suspect that before I was an OCD Quartermaster in a past life, I was some kind of sharp instrument maker - because I really like sharp things.

I notice my wife still toting her Emerson LaGriffe, at least some of the time. I’ll have to ask what else she uses.

I ordered two Eickhorn 8” Boar Hunters, because I figured that if I ordered only one, she would want it, anyway. Sure ‘nuff, she claimed one of them. (Such large blades are now legal in Texas, though “location-restricted.”

This was my wife's fitness walking knife for a spell. Super light. From our sparring . . . Her hand speed . . . Cut me to ribbons ( simulated ). Cheap.

Belly on the sharp side negates ability to slash.

Handle Is far more important than blade.

Choils work like serrations and they snag....no bueno....if your finner is in the choil it is much easier to wack.

Lock-Backs stay closed IWB etc. Liner, frame and compression locks and flippers might....

Grasp your knife as you might in an emergency.... release the lock and push the blade closed with moderate force.....you will understand why the Delica/Endura are ideal for emergency use......most lock failures on quality knives are debris related ....or didn't open all the way do to circumstances....

Hang two or three layers of different types of cloth together and slash.....only fresh sharpened serrations will work and not as well as PE.

Delica sized knives don't scare sheeple as much and have enough handle.

Warncliff are best and stab fine ....standard blade is fine also.

Delica will cut a quad to the Bone and L cuts below the ribs will expose anyone's eating habits.

Blade on Delica is 2 7/8 so legal in most places.

They come in pretty colors😉

More importantly, how is she carrying this or other knives?

Thx, a lot to unwrap there.
