Re: Lockback Pocket Knife

I've carried a Cutco folding lockback pocket knife for years. I've never heard of this company! Sheesh. Thanks for the reference... Cutco is partnered with KaBar. They use 440B steel. Good kitchen knives. Hold an edge well and do not rust. Easier to sharpen than scalpel steel. Scalpels are 440C. Ca...

Re: Another one gone, Ontario Knife Company

Lots of their blades were kitchen knives or sheath knives in 1095 steel. Terrible for pocket knives, but good for kitchen work if dried and oiled. Great for sheath knives or swords because of the flexibility. 1095 holds the record in Japan for most Tatami mats cut in a single stroke. Flexibility is ...
