So... Any spydie fans getting the Spyderco Southard? Looks nice...
I would hold on for a while more until supply catches up. Price now is still a bit on the high side.

I have both.. Based on my experience, the taiwanese spydies edges over the japs in terms of fit and finish. Most dudes at bladeforum seems to agree on this..And what do you guys feel about Taiwanese made Spyderco? Are they better than their Japanese or golden counterparts?

sonic? you are chef?
Home chef. haha
I like to cook. I also like knives. Perfect combination. Looking to buy a Japanese Gyuto from Chefknivestogo soon. Super sharp.
Not sure how many of you use straight razor for shaving but I have just bought myself a Dovo straight razor online. This is another area of edged tools that can get very expensive with collectables. But, like kitchen knives, at least can use the stuff we "collect". A little more practical versus combat/camping/tactical knives that i will hardly if ever use in the role they were built to perform.
Hi guys, I am selling my Edge Pro sharpener to fund the purchase of some Japanese waterstones. If you guys are interested to know more, the link is chefknivestogo dot com/ edproesset dot html
I only purchase it a couple of months ago.
It comes with:

You have to link up the address yourselves as I can't post links with my feeble 50 post level.
I used it to sharpen my set of 8 kitchen knives plus my ZT0550. It is not difficult to use and I am fairly pleased with it, BUT I'm not in love with it. So, I feel I am ready and would like to move on to hand sharpening with waterstones.
Priced to sell at SGD180.
I am actually a Bus Driver.
An Airbus driver. hehe

Go all the way.....SG2. For home use, probably never need to sharpen liao.
pilot spotted!
I don't use straight razor.. always shaving in a rush so I use double edge..
Well, mine are all utility knives.. no shelve queens.. but I take very good care of my tools so..

I also don't have much facial hair but lately I have become so annoyed with disposable shavers. Don't know what it is but not satisfying to shave with them la.
I was initially looking only for the traditional safety razors that use disposable 2 sided blades, but as I looked around the internet I thought why not combine my love of blades and sharpening and maintaining edged tools to shaving as well. So when my sis in law asked me what I wanted for Xmas I said a straight razor! So she offered to buy me a complete kit, like a starter kit. So I ordered the Holiday Straight Razor Set from classicedge dot com - a Canadian site. Excellent right? I order, someone else pays. Fantastic!
Anyway, the package was sent Monday morning Canadian time and hopefully in the next 2 weeks or so it will arrive. I have looked around and just know that I will be buying other beautiful new and vintage razors in time to come. And the best part is I can rotate them for daily shaving. Women go to the spa for facials, I will take my time and enjoy my shave everyday. Can't wait!
