Cooking•Stone Series 8" Chef's Knife
Yes and no... the way that this bolster extends extra far forward along the spine can cause it's own set of issues. Aside from being more restrictive of grip options as mentioned above, it also can get in the way of sharpening. The issue is that the bolster adds too much width above the heel/ real section of edge and, when sharpening, will hit the stone and prevent you from getting the knife laid down to the proper angle. A traditional...

Blades•Serge Panchenko Coin Claw - Exclusive Carbon Fiber
Hey @Nope, As you have noted, midtech knives don't appeal to everyone - and that's okay. Obviously, at least 28 people (and counting) think this knife, and other midtechs, offer a solid value. Many people like less expensive production-line blades, and some people can afford to spend $2000 or more for handmade pieces. This particular midtech is designed by Serge, manufactured at a small shop in Idaho, and then sent back to Serge for...

Blades•CRKT Eros K455TXP Titanium Gentleman's Folder
Crkt and $100+. That'll be a hard pass. If I want a Chinese titanium flipper, there are FAR better options in this price range. All with better steel. Ken Onion does design an attractive knife though.

Blades•What do you guys think of the new CRKT HomeFront Knife by Ken Onion?
I trust that Ken Onion would not put a piece of junk into the market. Further, I think this knife will be seen as revolutionary to folding knife design evolution.

Blades•Serge Panchenko Coin Claw - Exclusive Carbon Fiber
I think this would be an incredible buy for a Panchenko custom, but it's obviously not, and I think a lot of people defending this drop think it is. This is a mid tech knife, probably with a good chunk of its parts mass produced by Millit. Knife Center has them for preorder on their site with a couple of different handle inserts. This is a Panchenkno *design*, much like the Kershaw Leek is a Ken Onion design, but not a knife made by Ken...

Blades•Kershaw Chive Assisted-Opening Knife
I'm a big fan of Kershaw's knives, and the Ken Onion designs in particular. I own the Chive in two different variants (including the stainless version) and my son has one as well. They are great light duty knives, with the only real problem being that lousy lock, as other commenters have noted. Like Buck, they do a good job with the 420 steel. However, this just isn't really a deal for the base model. It's regularly available at a lower...
