Boker Squail

Maybe my new favorite!

Boker Squail

Boker Squail. 

This knife is a big, sturdy, beautiful knife. This picture shows the knife closed, the textured G10 handle, and the thumb hole and lanyard attachment. 

Boker Squail Folding Pocket Knife

Other side, with the pocket clip. The handle is the gray G10, and two titanium pieces. 

Boker Squail Opened

Boker Squail partially opened. With the thumb hole and with friction reducing bearings, this knife opens smooth and sweet!

Boker Squail Folding Knife Fully Opened

Here is the Squail open and ready! The blade locks open with a liner lock. 

White Handled Wusthof Kitchen Knives

It seems that I have had a run of people bringing white handled Wusthof kitchen knives to me to be sharpened.

Wusthof Knives with White Handles

Pictured here is a set of Wusthof knives that I sharpened at Lunardi's San Bruno. The owner wanted white handles, she said that white handles would look best in her (at the time) recently remodeled kitchen.

Spyderco Domino Folding Pocket Knife

Just got the way cool Spyderco Domino knife!

Spyderco Domino Knife, Closed

Here is the Domino closed. This view you see the thumb opening hole, the flipper lever opposite the thumb hole, the lanyard hole, the handle material, and the threaded holes to be able to re-position the pocket clip.

The handle material (on  this side) is carbon fiber / G10 composite.

Spyderco Domino Titanium Side

Here is the Spyderco Domino closed, showing the titanium side of the handle. Visible is the lock — the titanium scale (with a steel insert) serves to lock the blade open (and as a detent to hold the blade closed).

Spyderco Opened, Titanium Side

The Domino opened. This blade profile — with the thumb hole — is the classic Spyderco look.

Spyderco Domino Opening

Here partially opened. Beautiful knife, and it opens beautifully — the bearings and bushing are designed to give this knife a silky smooth operation. Gotta get this knife!

Here is Spyderco's photograph of the Domino.

New Folding Knives — The Un-Boxing

Just received a new box of knives!

Box of Folding Knives

Somehow or the other I must have specified USPS (Post Office) delivery. The box arrived on Wednesday, signature required, and as I was busy sharpening knives at Lunardi's San Bruno I missed the delivery. I went to the post office as I was afraid that if I signed the slip, that the letter carrier would get the slip the next day, then bring the box the day after that. The weekend would fall into those days — so the delay looked long...

I woke up and got out early — 6:30am — to go get the knives, wanted to get the box before it might have been put in the truck for delivery, wanted to be sure!

New knives: Kershaw Injection and Piston,  Spyderco Domino

In this shipment is a Spyderco Domino, a Kershaw Injection, a Kershaw Piston, a couple Boker Anti-Grav, and a Boker Squail.

The Boker Anti-Grav is one of my favorites — the other knives are new to me.

The Boker Anti-Grav has carbon fiber handle scales and a ceramic blade. This knife feels feather-light!

The United Nations of Knives

Sometimes I get a collection of knives for sharpening — what I call a United Nations of Knives.

United Nations of Knives

This bundle of knives that I was given to sharpen while I was at Zanotto's Rose Garden today is a good example.

What I call a United Nations of Knives is a customer's diverse collection of knives. This bundle of knives is a good example: in here she has a Chicago Cutlery made in USA knife, a Wusthof made in Germany knife, a Sheffield made in England knife, a Henckel made in Brazil knife, and a couple of knives made in China.

There's nothing wrong with this in my opinion. Most everybody has a favorite knife — and there is no reason that they all have to be the same brand or style. Collect the knives that you like. Nothing wrong with buying a matching block of knives — but feel free to add to or change as you wish.

I sharpen knives at Zanotto's Rose Garden Friday afternoons 2pm to 6pm.
