I've just got some leather offcuts to refurbish my Estwing hammers' handles so this gives me another project
Love the Estwing Range, I have a Hatchet and the Geologist Rock Pick which I keep purely for a Home invasion, perfect to crack an Indigenous Skull.

Me too, since I was 9.
I had boxes & boxes of them.
Sadly, all affirmative shopped several years ago.
Enjoying the thread though.

Ek het ook 'n mes wat my oor-grootjie in die oorlog gebruik het.
Nog in puik kondisie.
Die lem net al 4x moes vervang en die hef 5x. Maar verder makeer niks.
Hier is my Kershaw, spring-loaded, vir edc, en my Bestech starfighter.
Die kershaw eendag verloor, na 4 maande maar vrede gemaak daarmee dat dit laaste sien was.
Stop toe eendag by Piet Biltong in Bellville (lekkerste biltong in die hele kaap), en met die uitloop vra die eienaar my of ek nie met vorige besoek, maande gelede, iets daar verloor het nie. Nee sê ek, kan nie dink nie. Hy vra toe of ek nie dalk 'n messie mis nie. Wragtag, met die uitloop en bike opsaal het die mes uit my sak gehaak en in die gruis grond geval. Met toesluit tyd sien die man toe toevallig die mes daar lê en vermoed toe dat dit myne moet wees, aangesien ek met die bike daar stop gewoonlik.
Ek kon my geluk nie glo nie. Dat mens so verkneg kan word aan 'n maklik vervangbare mes.

Ja, cudos vir die winkeleienaar wat so eerlik was Ek is mal oor daai Bestech. Het hy ook D2 staal? Dit sal op die lem staan.

Had my little pocket knife now for 42 years...
I wonder if there are still some like this around?
Now I am into Opinels. Such a simple, efficient, effective and economical design.
Locks to prevent kids messing with it.
Locks when open to prevent.taking your fingers off.
All with a turn of a rotating clip.
They make them in different sizes so you can find the one that exactly meets your needs.
These 3 are the most elegant of folding knives I have ever seen…

Daar behoort ń beskrywing van die staal op die lem te wees.

Nee beslis nie.
Ek neem aan D2 is beter gehalte staal?

Die mes hierbo is ook 'n Bestech, en ja D2 is puik staal, maar daar is baie tipes staal wat puik is vir knipmesse.
Bestech het die laaste tyd net D2 begin gebruik, en daarom die vraag.
Die verskillende staal bepaal die karakter en eienskappe van die lem.
D2 hou sy edge baie goed, en bly lank skerp, maak ook maklik skerp, maar hy kan roes, en daarom moet mens dit maar gereeld met Ballistol afvee.
M390 roes glad nie, maar is 'n bitch om skerp te maak.
Bohler N690 val so tussen die bogenoemde twee staal tipes
Daar is 'n moerse groot verskeidenheid puik staal
Jou bestech is seker die mooiste een wat ek al gesien het, en hulle is nie meer niet te koop nie. Aluminium raam?

Baie mense doen nou custom werk op Opinels - Puik waarde vir geld en hulle sny baie baie goed.

Dankie, jy ken duidelik jou messe. Ek is maar 'n appy biltongkerwer.
Die lem is CPM-S35VN Stainless Steel, en die hef is titanium.
Ligte mes met gevoel van top kwaliteit. Ek dra hom min, bang vir verloor.

Puik staal - Spyderco gebruik dit ook,
Daar is geen noemenswaardige verskil tussen S30 en S35 nie. Laat weet my asb as jy ooit daai mes wil verkoop

Not I suppose great quality but a nice enough knife that does the job.
What say those numbers on the blade, Hardy?

Looks like the Kershaw Volt 2?
One of the most popular EDC’ knives ever.
8Cr13Mov steel - very hard and excellent edge retention. Not so easy to sharpen though.
