The famous, or infamous Furi knives... My first review of their Chinese cleaver, which they label as Chopper/Cleaver. I hope some misguided soul will not use it as a meat cleaver. Well, I didn't have to say much of a good things about it, soft steel, not very comfy... I really dislike their misleading marketing too. Details in the review.

That folder had three trips to three different makers to beoome what it is now. First rehardening with Phil Wilson, then resurfacing with Richard J. and then regrinding with Tom Krein. It took almost 7 months to get it done. Well, I've learned a lot and other rehardenings and resharpenings went went quicker. However, now it is as close to a perfect cutter as it can be today. Super steel, super hard and with very efficient grind. Read details in the review.

Fixed notes for the 0170-6C steel, a.k.a. Carbon V. Specifically, old notes stated that the steel was made by Camillus, when in fact it was made for them. Special thanks to BF's knarfeng for finding it.

Less than 8 hours until the Lost Season 6 :)

1 hour recap and 2 hour season premiere! Quiet a treat, granted they don't spoil it. S5 was my least favorite. Watching S1 again. Has to have lots of clues...
