$8 plus tax is what I paid so under $9 lol. Ya insanely cheap. There are Steinbrucke reps I guess is the correct term that are selling all diff models for this price and this may be my fav. I actually just started looking at old Gerbers for that exact reason haha.

Wanted to share a knife I got when I first began collecting knives (has only been about 6 months) before I knew about brands, steel types, and what makes a quality knife. Its a Steinbrucke; I even created a post here asking about them a few months ago. I am still pretty impressed with this...

Collecting/using. I am genuinely having so much fun messing with knives/steels-metalworking sounds fantastic. Just to be able to handle various steel types and turn them into well something haha and to test them--sounds so much fun! I am 100% going to look into that. I just have a bit of ocd so...

I cannot believe I didnt see this before. This helps a ton!

Ya Im currently looking up the formula of each steel rather than just the name. It makes it a lot easier.

Thanks for all the responses!

This is probably a dumb question so I apologize in advance; Ive been apart of the knife community for about 2 months so Im still a noob with a lot to learn. This is a 3 part question; 1. Ive seen AISI before 440, D2, etc but not for 8CR or AUS8 & etc., so does that mean AISI ONLY names American...

I like how smooth they feel.

Ohhhhhhhh I get it now. Jeez Im dumb. I always thought bearings are a form of assist which is what confused me and started all of this. Smh. I get it now 100% Thank you!

I think my confusion lies in me thinking bearings ARE NOT considered manual.

So would the ones that use just washers be considered manual? Bc I always thought bearings are a form of assist so the knife isnt a manual bc it runs on bearings but washers are still manual?

This may he a dumb question but I just got into knives so I apologize in advance. So I understand there are different deployment systems; manual, spring assist, automatic, & bearing assist but when it comes to washers are they found in all deployment systems minus otfs? Bc Ive seen ppl ask if a...

Ive never used a stone once so I most likely will need a lot of practice. To be honest I dont think Id use the knives to the point where they need real work but rather a touch up sort of thing like as you said 'zip zip done' probably is better for me and my needs. Thank you! I am definitely...

I had no idea. Thank you for the heads up!

So 1000/6000 is good? I saw one 400/1500 but I was thinking for me 1000/6000 is best.

I got into knives a few months ago and I want to pick up a sharpener. Ive been told to avoid pull through sharpeners. I dont have any expensive knives yet to worry about blade damage but I figured to go the Whetstone route regardless. 1. Any suggestions for a budget stone/kit brand? 2. Ive seen...

I actually was going to ask any recs for my next knife. Thus far I have a Kershaw Leek (was gifted to me from a fellow Knife Dog/knife enthusiast as a 'welcome to Knives' gift), CRKT Ignitor, Gerber Air Ranger, the paraframe and a Browning from years ago. I really want to get a QSP Parrot or...

Going to do this the second I get home and see. I kinda of figured just as you said its such an inexpensive knife that another may not make a difference. Im just going to use it and move on. I have a mini also which has locking issues too lol. It came as a pack. The issue isnt bad enough to try...

This is 100% what Im going to do. Just gonna have fun with it and move on! Thank you!

Hey guys so Im new to knives so of course I had to get the Paraframe as its a pretty introductory knife. I took it out the package (so many scratches on it though it was brand new) and immediately starting playing with it and right away I noticed an issue. Anytime I fling it open or open it fast...
