The Viper Belone is slim, sleek, and elegant

Knife Global.Jul 01, 2021
The Viper Belone is like you took a typically curvy Voxnaes design, stretched it out a bit, and then put it on a diet. The result is a slim, sleek cutting tool that’s as totally elegant as it is efficient. Viper tells us, “The Danish designer Jesper Voxnaes started from lines typical of the Italian regional tradition to design the Belone: perfectly reworked according to modern and minimalist style, which made him famous in all over the world. The result is a light and tapered folding knife, embellished with refined details, such as the holes in the back of the handle.”Viper BeloneWe tried to nail down the traditional patterns that influenced the look of this knife a bit. We can see some hints of the Pattada in the lines, perhaps some Maresciall, and maybe a touch of Navaja maybe? Since we’re by no means old Italian knife pattern experts, we quickly gave up guessing. What it truly boils down to is – this knife all Vox.The Belone has a fat 3.3” M390 clip point blade with a ton of belly for a long slice. It has a blade thickness of 0.12” and it’s hardened to a 60-61 HRC. Riding on a thrust ball bearing pivot, this manual flipper is beautifully balanced for a fast, easy action. It has a discreet flipper tab which not only helps keep the lines of this knife clean, but it also is one less thing to snag on your pocket.Viper BeloneWith a handle thickness of about 0.44”, it’s a slim knife that practically disappears in your pocket. It’s a linerlock with a plain stonewash finished, bronze anodized, or a blue anodized titanium frame. Additionally, those three models also are available with a carbon fiber overlay with the stonewash, blue or bronze anodized liners. The matching backspacer and the tip-up pocket clip are titanium. It’s 4.575” closed and weighs 3.1 ounces.Viper Belone DetailsBohler M390, Satin Finish3.3” Clip PointViper Belone0.12” Blade Thickness60-61 HRCManual Flipper, Thrust Ball Bearing PivotTitanium HandlesCarbon Fiber Overlay, Select Models0.44” Handle ThicknessTitanium Tip-Up Pocket Clip3.1oz.4.57” Closed7.87” OverallMade in Maniago, Italy The article is shared from Internet...knifeglobal:https ://knifeglobal.com

Vox says CRKT Ibi pronounced Ee-bee

Knife Global.Jul 01, 2021
As Horatio says in Shakespeare’s Hamlet, “There’s something rotten in Denmark.” It’s the pronunciation of the names of new CRKT knives. Take for example the sleek new Vox-designed CRKT Ibi. My East Tennessee brain tells me that’s “ih-bee”, but it’s not. According to famed Danish knife designer, Jesper Voxnaes, it’s “ee-bee”. See what I mean?The CRKT Ibi is as different as it’s Danish name. It’s sleek, slender and even has a copper finger ring, but you’d never mistake it for a Karambit. CRKT says it’s what happens, “When your EDC thinks it’s a kubaton.”CRKT IbiThe CRKT Ibi features a 2.7″ D2 sheepsfoot blade with a black stonewash finish. Except this sheepsfoot is .15″ thick and is upswept if you squint your eyes and look at it really hard. That’s because unlike a standard sheepsfoot that has a straight belly, this one has a long curved belly that round outs the long, loose S-shape formed when the Ibi is fully open.It’s also a manual flipper with the IKBS Ball Bearing System. The handles are grippy, black G-10 on this liner lock, and there’s a copper finger ring at the butt of the knife. In fact when it’s closed and dangled by the finger ring, this thing reminds me of a Marlin (minus the sail and the sword) hung up to be weighed on the docks.CRKT IbiIt’s 4.8″ closed (including the ring) and 7.5″ overall, and the ambidextrous tip-up pocket clip allows just the ring to ride above the pocket line. The blade all but disappears into the handle when it’s closed, making a very slim, light pocket carry at just 2.8oz.CRKT Ibi Details2.7″ D2 Modified Sheepsfoot BladeBlack Stonewash Finish.11″ Thick Manual FlipperIKBS Ball Bearing PivotLiner LockBlack G-10 HandlesCopper Finger RingAmbidextrous Tip-up Pocket Clip4.8″ Closed7.5″ OverallWeighs 2.8oz.The article is shared from Internet...knifeglobal:https ://knifeglobal.com

Boker Magnum Knivgar not your standard Scandinavian Sami

Knife Global.Jul 01, 2021
There’s a lot of these great little inexpensive Scandinavian Sami style knives on the market. We’ve covered Morakniv and Marttiini quite a bit, and we’ve even tracked the new Condor Bushglider. This is most definitely a popular style of camp knife, but the Boker Magnum Knivgar isn’t your standard Scandinavian Sami. It’s got a surprise in the handle that will come in handy.The Boker Magnum Knivgar features a 4″ unbreakable 420A stainless steel drop point blade with a satin finish. It’s .125″ thick and sharp as hell right out of the box. That’s not groundbreaking.Boker Magnum KnivgarThe handle is “indestructible” polymer, and that’s not groundbreaking either. But, the Knivgar has a cylindrical, cleated hammer built into the pommel of the knife. According to Boker, “The indestructible signal-colored handle is inseparably connected to the blade by injection molding, as is the practical hammer and chisel surface on the pommel.”What does this mean for your camp knife? It means you have a virtually indestructible camp knife with a hammer built right into it, and that greatly expands the tasks you can handle with a very light camp knife.Boker Magnum KnivgarThe Knivgar is 8.9″ overall and weighs in at a miniscule 3.6oz. With the simple polymer belt sheath, that means you’re not even going to notice this knife on your hip or in your pack.Boker Magnum Knivgar Details4″ unbreakable 420A stainless steel Drop PointSatin Finish.125″ ThickPolymer HandleHammer Pommel Tool8.9″ OverallPolymer Sheath The article is shared from Internet...knifeglobal:https ://knifeglobal.com

Knife Global.Jul 01, 2021
If you’re looking for an American-made, no-nonsense traditional pocket knife, it doesn’t get much better than the Case American Workman Seahorse Whittler. This small, but mighty pattern tends to sell out more quickly than other patterns, so don’t wait around on this one. If you want it, get it now.Case American Workman Seahorse WhittlerThe Case American Workman Seahorse Whittler is a three-blade pattern with red synthetic handles and high-polish nickel silver bolsters. It has a Case Stars and Stripes shield that’s nickel silver with red, white and blue injection to create a US flag background behind the Case mark.There are three blades and two springs on the Seahorse Whittler, and all three of them are Tru-sharp steel with what Case calls its “As Ground” finish (looks like heavy brushed satin to us). The knife’s main blade is a thick Wharncliffe blade that is supported by both back springs. At the other end of the knife, you’ll find a small coping blade and a small pen blade, each resting on its own back spring.When all three blades of are partially open, this knife really does resemble a seahorse, especially when you put the hande in the vertical position with the Wharncliffe a the top. It’s 4″ closed, weighs 2.6oz, and made in the USA.Case American Workman Seahorse Whittler DetailsTru-Sharp Steel blades with an “As Ground” FinishSplit Back Whitter with a Wharncliffe Main and Small Coping and Pen BladesRed Synthetic HandlesBrass Pins and LinersNickel Silver BolstersNickel Silver and Color Case Stars and Stripes Shield4″ ClosedWeighs 2.6oz.Made in the USAThe article is shared from Internet...knifeglobal:https ://knifeglobal.com

General Knife Sharpening Instructions

Knife Global.Jun 21, 2021
Sharpening a knife is sometimes perceived as the most difficult knife care task; and it probably is. Modern stainless steel is very hard and, when sharpened properly, will hold a good edge for a very long time. When sharpening a knife you must have a high quality sharpener that features a rough stock removal surface (preferably diamond abrasive) and a finishing surface of hard stone or ceramic abrasive. The diamond and ceramic materials will cut away the steel on the blade's cutting surface easily as these materials are harder than steel. A hard stone will also perform this task, but the stone is only slightly harder than the steel and so this requires more effort on your part.Most times, simply using a kitchen steel on your cutlery will be sufficient. See instructions below.Remember, Keep your knife sharpened -- a dull blade can be more dangerous than a properly maintained one.For some more general information on Sharpening click one of the links below:Knife Center's General Knife Care TipsSharpening FAQ from rec.knivesSome Personal Sharpening TechniquesSharpening with a SteelWhen a knife is used, the edge eventually becomes dull. The edge will turn either to the left or right side depending on how you hold your knife when cutting. Quality knives with high carbon/molybdenum/vanadium alloy have elasticity and can easily be re-aligned by a sharpening steel. Do not use a diamond-coated steel or a pull-through manual or electric sharpening device for maintaining the edge. These devices will destroy your turned edge. They can be used to sharpen, but not for maintanance.Place the knife blade against the tip of the sharpening steel at an angle of approximately 20 degrees. Pull the knife down and across the steel, describing a slight arc. Repeat this action on the back of the steel to sharpen the other side of the blade. Repeat steps 2 and 3 five to ten times, alternating the left and right side of the blade. It is very important to maintain the angle of 20 degrees and to run the full length of the cutting edge along the steel from the hilt to the tip of the knife. Speed of movement plays no part in this process.Sharpening with a StoneWhen grinding your knife on a stone, it may be useful to use a three-way oil stone, Fine-Medium-Coarse. Use the stone only when your edge does not re-align with a steel. That means your edge has dulled from constant use or steeling. Make sure you use the exact angle at 30 to 40 strokes before your new edge is formed. Use more strokes if needed. The angle used it determined by how sharp you want the knife. The smaller the angle the sharper the edge. However be aware that the sharper the edge the sooner it will fade, and need to be re-sharpened. If it is too difficult for you to maintain the correct angle, throughout your re-grinding procedure, take your knife to a reputable knife grinding service in your area.For more information on stone sharpening click the links below:Sharpening Instructions from Norton IndustrialSharpening Instructions with a DMT®Sharpening a Straight RazorYou can learn to sharpen any razor on a stone, and if you have experience, or use the right sharpening system you will get very good results. The principle of grinding any knife is restoring the gross shape of a blade according to it's grind-type ; this is mostly done with machines such as grinding wheels. Grinding does not sharpen a knife. The principle of honing is to create a good cutting edge angle and the blade part directly adjacent to it, the relief. The relief is created by honing with a secondary angle on a stone until a burr appears, and subsequently create the primary angle (this is the cutting angle, which is somewhat greater than the secondary angle, but both under 25 degrees) to remove the burr. The relief/secondary/primary angle principle makes the blade more resistant for less than delicate use.For More Information on Sharpening a Straight Razor click the link below:Sharpening a Straight RazorSharpening Serrated BladesFirst, obtain the correct sharpening tools to perform the task. Many of the sharpening kits on the market offer serration hones as options. Second, have the proper technique to use.Most factory ground serrations will have the same angle as the plain edge portion (assuming the blade is partially serrated), which means in the neighborhood of 20 to 25 degrees.Once everything is set up, you can begin the process. Using firm pressure, work the hone in a back-and-forth motion, perpendicular to the cutting edge. Every so often, stop and feel for a raised burr on the backside of the blade. Only move on to the next tooth when you see or feel a raised burr. Once you have completed sharpening the ground side of the blade, flip the knife over.For More Information on Sharpening Serrated Blades click the link below:Dexter Ewing's Class for sharpening serrated bladesTypes of SharpenersThere are many good sharpeners on the market today. The main factor in sharpening is the device you use to remove the material from the blade must maintain a uniform angle for you and not allow your efforts from stroke to stroke to change the angle of pressure you are putting on the cutting surface of the blade. If this angle relationship is changing from stroke to stroke, you will end up with a rounded edge that will feel sharp for a short period of time and dull rapidly.
