Suppressors General Topic -- Knives

[NightEyes]

I have only recently returned to this forum after a long but necessary absence. Knives are a special topic for me, and since I don't see many knife threads in this section, I'd like to be brought up to date.

What has the recent consensus been regarding knives, both fixed blade and folders?

Regards as always,

My everyday carry is a folder. I carry a fixed blade when I am serious or in the field.

Hmm, i carry a folder for everyday use and when hunting i allways have my fixed blade bolted to my hip/thigh.

Concensus on knives? Umm i guess keep them sharp. That's really about it. Knife tech hasn't really changed much...

Can't decide if this sounds painful or uncomfortable.

You didn't think stating a purpose for them might have helped yield a more meaningful answer?

Okay, I give up.

I retract the question. Never mind, y'all.

no reason to get flustered. everyone is just giving you a hard time cuz its kind of a generic question. i dont think there have been any groudbreaking improvements in knife tech in the last 10 years since the "tactical" knife took off throughout companies. are you looking for like what folder or fixed blade is the new golden standard. or what do you prefer type question.

more info brings better answers and less smart ass remarks

good luck

Re: General Topic -- Knives

Well there is a lot to discuss on knife construction...like material use and quenching process (tempering) and what is used oil vs water. After hardening you have to stress relieve it......
Maybe if you want to learn about knives/swords in general then maybe an other forum?
