Looking for good knives
Looking for good knives
Hey guys when you all get time could you all link me or give me a few ideas on a few good fixed and non fixed knives been looking on hennie but you know what it is like to many to pick from so a few bits of feed back would help alot thanks
Re: Looking for good knives
Well, it depends on how much you'd like to spend.
I have some very nice knives which cost a fair few quid but I always seem to end up with a good old Alox Swiss Army Knife (a Farmer or a Pioneer) in my pocket.
Very reasonably priced and tough as boots. Non locking though.
If your'e after a lock knife then Spyderco do gazillions of em. I have a Tenacious which is astoundingly good for the price..

Re: Looking for good knives
I keep pimping these guys
http://www.ffx.co.uk as I like their pricing policy
I've bought Hultafors knives from them (http://www.ffx.co.uk/tools/refine/-/1/2), the Heavy Duty (which is a beast) and the Craftsman..... Great knives and cheaper then dirt (or should I say "Inexpensive" ?)
They stock Victorinox if you're looking for a SAK
I also like Opinel (the #8 is an ideal size for my hands), good steel, plain handle and a simple lock........They also don't look tacticool at all, and as such are less scary to John Q. Public.

Anything from Benchmade or Spyderco for folding blades, Sog for fixed blades.

Re: Looking for good knives
Morakniv make very good quality knives, i own this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mora-Companion- ... s=morakniv
It's never let me down, it has 3/4 tang, so if the handle did ever come off, you could wrap paracord around the tang, and it would still be useful, if you want to spend a bit more, this is an even better one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/MORAKNIV-HEAVY- ... s=morakniv
Just check their reviews if you don't believe me on how good they are

Yep its my Gerber Prodigy feels very solid in the hand but has sat in my drawer unused since I bought it, and TBH I would not have bought it if I had got my £14 mora first, its a gorgeous bit of kit but cant see me using it, I just fondle it occasionally
