Don’t get me wrong, it needs to have a decent steel but I find that I’m pretty particular about sharpening and maintenance so if it starts to lose it’s edge I give the knife a touch up. VG10, 154CM, heck even 8Cr13MoV works fine for me when it comes to my EDC blade. ...

I make my own leather sheaths so it's not a problem for me. Give the knife a 5, and the sheath a 0. Have to sharpen with a 1" belt sharpener or send back to Cold Steel for sharpening. Also,trust Knifecenter to deliver it promptly and in perfect conditi...
“The local resharpening cost had increased to the point that it was lower in cost to use the Dispozablade double-edged refills,” said Hill. “Combine this with the fact that it is not necessary to adjust the rear table when installing fresh blades after the original installation; both ti...
It's easy as can be. Just about every sharpening system in the world will work, including using the curb in a parking lot or a gnarly rock by a river. (Please don't ever use either of these tools to sharpen a Fletcher Knife unless it's an emergency.) If you would like to have ...

The 0801 comes in Elmax steel. Elmax has become a staple in Zero Tolerance’s higher end line up. I have come to enjoy Elmax for its combination of good edge retention and relative ease of sharpening. I have had zero issues with rust or corrosion. I think Elmax is a good choice in ...
The blade of the Link is long and non-traditional, with an upswept tip and decorative swedge. It also features a perfectly executed sharpening choil. I like how the blade is ground from thin stock, and that Kershaw went with a high flat grind. The end result is an excellent slicer. I...
There are three different ways to look at the Gemini. First as the realization of the Kizer Promise. They were making good knives before the Gemini, but nothing that struck me as really top-tier, nothing that really stood out amidst the competition. But the clean, ineffable lines of the ...
7Cr is also an easy to sharpen steel, and that’s important because you’ll be sharpening it a fair bit as the edge dulls quickly. In my two weeks or so of use, it hasn’t be pressed into hard service by any means. I’ve cut up a lot of cardboard as I disposed of a ton ...
