Reply added to Kizer Willumsen Super Bad Bowie Fixed Blade Knife

So you hit a piece of steel with the most vulnerable part of a blade made of high hardness steel designed for edge retention.

Things chip and break, I wasn't accusing you of tomfoolery, but I was curious about what specifically would have caused your Kizer to suffer damage.  And it turns out the cause of damage was something that would have caused chips or worse in any knife not designed purely for toughness.  If you had hit a screw with an...

I'd say that's debatable and depends on your needs.  The 6-piece set is slimmer and includes the toenail clipper.  The 9-piece kit instead includes three tools for cuticle care and one for nail cleaning which the file already can be used for (but of course the dedicated tool is presumably better).

I got the 9-piece kit before and it's great but I do miss that toenail clipper.  The cuticle tools are difficult to use correctly without causing...

I wanted to (quickly?) review this knife, in case there was another drop in the future:
In essence, it is definitely a 5 out of 5 star tool in the kitchen. I've had it for about a month now and it has already had a serious impact on my cooking effectiveness. I would highly recommend it. 
Pros:
-It feels *really* good in the hand. You're expected to be really high up on the blade while holding it. You are just pinching the blade, really... Search...

Forward-clicky Lumintop Tool?

I have noticed that Lumintop has done several Drops, and I particularly like the look of their Copper AAA Tool. That being said, the only reason I haven’t pulled the trigger on one yet is the type of tail switch they use; they are all revers...

CTS-XHP is an excellent Steel. (Cold Steel is phasing it out due to lack of supply:( Many knife guys love this Steel (me included) and were disappointed CS is changing to S35vn on its more premium models. 
S35vn is a fine steel but xhp is better. Takes that razor sharp edge that tool Steels like D2 and M4 take. Holds it for longer than most. Bordering on s90v for edge retention  AND it’s not that hard to sharpen. AND CS heat treat is excellent

My current favorite fountain pen is the Conklin Duraflex (currently loaded with Noodler's 54th Massachusetts). I like it so much, in fact, that I've scored a second one off of eBay (and it will be...

Reply added to Fallkniven DC4 Diamond Ceramic Whetstone

Well, anything with grit will shape/profile eventually, but this would be far from the right tool for that task.  This is a touch up field stone, not a primary sharpener.  It cuts, but as noted, not as fast or efficient as a high end bench stone counterpart like Shapton or Atoma.  It's on par with similar pocket offerings from DMT or Spyderco and is a quality piece.  You should really be doing everything you can to avoid needing the 800 side...
