Woodworking/tools community?

I'd love to have a Massdrop community catering to the high-end woodworking tools community. Planes, jigs, Japanese hand saws, chisels, tool rolls, wood turning tools, marking gauges, exotic woodstock etc. This stuff is right in the Massdrop s...

Blades•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...

Blades•[Ongoing] Tactical Knives Discussion

Well, I had to spend some money and work with the design for two months before I came to the conclusion that: FRAME LOCK FOLDERS AREN'T YOUR BEST CHOICE IF YOU HAVE TO DEPLOY THE BLADE UNDER "STRESSFUL" CONDITIONS! I purchased two Chinese made D2 steel flipper tab folding knives, both with titanium handles / integral "frame locks". (Don't ask...

Cooking•Stone Series 8" Chef's Knife

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...

Blades•Cold Steel Limited-Edition G-10 Espada

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

Blades•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...
