New Folding Knives at the Knife Sharpening Hut

Received some new knives today — ready to take them out with me when I sharpen knives!


Old Hickory Carbon Steel Butcher Knife
First up is a picture of an Old Hickory butcher knife. This is a 7" stamped full tang carbon steel knife with a brass riveted hardwood handle. I have the whole line of these knives: slicer, butcher, utility, and 3 1/4" and 4 1/4" paring knives.

I like carbon steel knives. I kind of kick it old school — and that is just what these knives are! Carbon steel sharpens easy, hold a sharp edge for a long time — and looks good doing it! The knives will get a steel-grey patina, that's OK. Just rinse and wipe dry after using and these knives will have a long service life.


Kershaw Scallion with Blue Anodized Handle
This is a beautiful, blue Kershaw! Blue anodized aluminum handle, assisted opening knife; it has a thumb stud and a flipper, pocket clip and lanyard hole.


SOG Blink Knife
Last is SOG. Two Blinks, gray and black. Both are assisted opening with thumb studs, re-positionable clips. These are quite compact knives — 3 1/4" closed, 5 1/4" long opened.
