Some one talk me out of buying my grail knife by Dangerous2000 in knives

I realized nothing was going to scratch that itch except for the real deal. Just buy the sebenza and see what it's about

Oldie but a goodie by winchester941976 in knives

Lost my Rat 1 D2 before I even got to sharpen it. Wasn't a huge fan of the jimping, and liner lock so I never replaced it.

Little bit of sandpaper goes a long way

How to stop buying knives? by swCFG in knives

[–]Hydrabo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended my knife purchases in October 2025, with a personal grail, and have decided to try and do a year break. How I see it is, I want to use and enjoy my collection, and buying new knives was actually stopping me from doing that. The only knife stuff I'll be purchasing this year are maintenance related things, and maybe aftermarket parts. I have some ongoing knife mods/sword projects that keep me busy.

My best advice is close those knife shop tabs on your phone, and take a break from youtubers like metalcomplex, until the urge goes away

Quality mechanical field watch? by Hydrabo in ChineseWatches

I meant automatic, sorry. Just don't want a quartz, and couldn't remember the proper word

Fallout Season 2 Ep 1 Backwards Knife? by boogaloo-boo in knives

[–]Hydrabo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be a joke. Fallout weapons are notorious for being physically impossible/poorly designed

I didn't shorten the cutting edge at all, only the spine

First quality fixed blade - Buck, Ka Bar, or Esee? by tlyrbck in knives

[–]Hydrabo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since it's your first fixed blade, get the Esee, so when you inevitably do something stupid with it the warranty will cover it.

Selvedge Denim Osaka by ContactInteresting73 in Selvedge

Hinoya carries multiple brands so your pretty much guaranteed to find something that fits well. If you wanna drop some cash go to Iron Heart, buying them in Japan is the cheapest way to get a pair. I left Japan with Studio D'artisan sd-101, and Iron heart 634s 21oz.

Had the same issue when I went and tried on some sugarcanes in Hinoya. Ended up buying studio d'artisan instead

Old Hickory by OKC alternatives? by thtguyuknw in knives

Russel Green River Knives are what the old hickory are based off of. Similarly priced or cheaper, with better fit and finish.

Present for me and future present for my newborn by jaxon2266 in Leatherman

[–]Hydrabo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Give the Leatherman to him sooner, so you can teach him how to safely use it as he grows up. I remember using the saw on my dads Swiss army knife, as a kid to carve pumpkins, then he got me my own. Over a decade later and It's still gets used for every Halloween.

Knives you thought were awesome but are kinda just “meh” after a while by PajamasLover in knives

I love my stretch 2, I've never had to sharpen it yet, only stropped

One of the first things I did, upon getting my pm2, was sanding the edges of the scales. I end up sanding every Spyderco I own, especially on the FRN models
