Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

Thanks Seul. Yeah I went for the Delica vs the Endura because of size. Time will tell though if it's too big for me too.

New Krein addition…

Picked up my first pocket knife recently, Spyderco Sage 3. So far very impressed by it.
I am using it at work for cutting up fruit at break times, complete overkill for this task but I am enjoying owning a nice knife that is easily capable for what I need it for.
Being a Brit, owning and carrying a pocket knife is not really in our culture. My Wife was pretty shocked when the knife was used on Christmas day for dealing with some of the more stubborn present wrapping and packaging. I joked with her that I had bought it to deal with the Turkey!
Being new to all this, what kind of lubrication would use for the blade pivot?
-
I like nano oil

Not the best photo, but you get the idea:

Doug
your knife and cutlery history is absolutely spot on.
Sheffield has a long history with steel, mainly domestic cutlery.
In 1912 a Sheffield based gentleman called Harry Brearly working for the "Brown Firth research lab" developed stainless steel. It was originally developed for making guns but the materials suitability for cutlery became apparent and the Sheffield cutlery industry was born.

Couple new Krein's…
-
That Emerson collab looks pretty nice man and i loooove tomahawks so they cant go wrong with that one
My new purchase
And the 25 with my former EDC the Dejavoo
-
1. WOW
2. Feels fuckin heavy duty (not heavy, but tough as nails)
3. Fit and finish are fantastic (first CRK for me)
5. Lil bigger then i like for an EDC, but its too awesome to put down
6. Love the sound it makes on lock up
7. Detent is too strong if ur fingers r on the lock bar. Need to reposition my "opening grip" to make it open easy. Once i figured that out its all butter -
Its easier already and i can flick it open with just my thumb (not wrist) so that is great. But its only because i hold it differantly then i normally would. If there is any pressure on the lock bar it will hold detent tighter and in turn make it harder to open. 3 friends tried opening it so far and all 3 had a hard time
-
Definitely avoid wrist action but it has a great detent for thumb flicks.
Glad you're happy with it, love CRK.

Does anyone have experience using natural Japanese sharpening stones? I'm considering switching over from Japanese ceramic stones in 1000, 3000, 6000, etc over to natural stones, or at least learning about them for a while first.
However, natural stones use general descriptions like Ara-to-ishi, Naka-to-ishi, and Shiage-to-ishi (for corse to fine) and rating categories of 1-5. It's somewhat more vague than a specific grit rating. Also I have no idea how to tell a crap natural stone from a great one. I've seen them for $20 and $20,000.
Anyone know of an introduction to Japanese natural stones?
