Is the top half of the blade above the grind, flat? I want to know since I use an Edge Pro Apex to sharpen my knives and a flat is definitely preferred.
OMG! A Brad Zinker design! It's time for Cutlery websites to pull their heads out of their asses and use their supposed expertise to educate people why they shouldn't spend $60+ on crap like this.
+Shrabsters Everybody has their own opinion; but I worked about 8yrs. back in the eighties in cutlery shops and we prided ourselves in educating the public on cutlery. The types of steel and construction etc. Because frankly we knew a whole lot more than the general public on this subject. But today it seems these online sites are more interested in making a sale than they are instructing potential buyers of what is the best value for their money. We received many, many knives both production and custom and we rejected a lot of them because they weren't worth the money. Either the material was bad, the design was bad or the price being asked was way out of line. But that was way back when. It is different today. Now it's bend over and spread your cheeks and don't you dare ask any questions.
+Shrabsters If you don't think the price is not too much go ahead and buy it; what is important is you are happy with it. BUT! There is way too much cutlery on the market that is hideously over priced, simply because some designers name is attached to it. A designer who wasn't around 20 yrs. ago and who will be forgotten 10 yrs. from now. Or they use industrial tool steel to make a knife that 440 or 420 is more than adequate considering the design. And what is with using titanium for handle material on small pocket knives? Can you say overkill. Why not billet aluminum or stainless steel? I grew up in a generation when a lot of guys got there first jobs working in machine shops, making precise parts out of all sorts of tool steels, titanium, nickel vanadium molybdenum alloys and on and on. So it bugs the hell out of me when some manufacturer implies his knife warrants an astronomical price and cutlery sites do nothing to explain to the public that you are getting burned if you pay it. I think there is way to much ignorance on both sides of the market place. And those who know a bit more should bare some responsibility in the matter.
+heyturjs Pelican looks like the original custom knife of BZ but without flipper and ball bearings. And costs 20% of it. Personally I think Boker chosen the best materials for the knife. Titanium and VG-10 are never rust. Titanium is better for EDC - much lighter than SS and tougher than Alu. And none of my VG-10 knives has any sign of rust after years of owning without any maintenance. Speaking bout price no way I'll buy for example most of Spyderco weird designs for $200-400. It's already a cost of customs.
Why do I like this so much?!
