Knife and Edged Tools Acquisions

Is the pink one an annual special or something out of the regular catalog?

My daughter would love that. I've already bought her the regular pink Companion model, that is put away in a bugout bag until she is old enough to use it.

Edit: Aww. Looks like it is a Blade HQ exclusive. Shipping price rules that out for me.

Yeah, it's part of Blade HQ's Dessert Warrior series. I don't know why it amuses me so much.

Anyway, got my fourth Mora today, the Classic 1/0.

It's a bit smaller than I expected, but I like it. Here it is with the Classic 2.

Anyone know what the use of this blade would be? And does anyone know the stamping?

北海王大陸 North Sea King Continent ????

A Chef Tony Rock and Chop?? I would have half a guess you held it vertical and stabbed a king crab then rocked rolled the blade through, but i'm an expert in all things, like

If it is a single bevel, perhaps for leather work?

Couple more Marttiinis.

I mostly like small folders but have acquired a couple of automatics recently. This is a Microtech Troodon Mini. I removed the glass breaker and clip and put a short screw on the threaded hole. So far it seems good. Nice sharp blade. Fast action. Well made although you pay a price premium for that.

The blade is 1.9 inches long, making it legal to own in California. Hmmmm. Expensive though.

Ah, an "edge" thread/ how nice.

My most recent discovery is the Ochsenkopf brand of axes ... I got myself a wonderful splitting axe, the Ochsenkopf "Spalt Fix", with ash handle, 2,5 kg head. No nonsense with this bad boy. I'll try to post a pic later.
I am very tempted to get an Ochsenkopf "Itlis" too, very nice felling and general purpose axe, 70 cm handle.

An inspiration in this regard is the Youtuber Ben Scott -- a real axe-expert, who obviously knows a lot and has a lot of relevant axe experience. It's interesting to see a guy like him on Youtube, he really stands out in contrast to so many wanna-be's.

My favourite axe to date however (among those I own), is Gränsfors' "hunting axe".
It's a great "general purpose" axe. light enough to carry on trips, longer handle (I think some 50 cm), more axe than a mere hatchet.
It comes very sharp, it's the only axe I have actually cut myself on just by gracing my finger on the edge. Head shape is very narrow, designed for "cutting", It'll make short work of anything coming in its way...!

I would guess it is some kind of fish knife. Looks similar to one of the knives they use to process tuna.

Pro Tech makes a couple of Cali Legal Autos that are a bit more affordable, no OTF though of that I’m aware of.

150mm Fujiwara Denka petty with yo handle. Bought off a BST, but never put on the stones. Put my own edge on it and it slices paper towels with ease.

Gerber Prodigy. Blade HQ has it on sale for $40.

The shape reminds me of some shoemaker's knives I've seen, and skiving knives broadly.
