Any good sites that sell knives?
I got this today but it isn't that sharp and I can return it. Im looking for something that could be self defense but mostly when I need to whip it out (lol) to cut something.

Gerber makes some excellent knives, and they keep an edge well. But, if you want a sharp knife, you need a good knife sharpener: http://www.huntingblades.com/lansky.html I would recommend the Universal kit. It's worth every penny. Also, get rid of the serrated edge, they're hard to sharpen and they're not at all useful for cutting. |
The serrated edges are meant for cutting rope, tendon, etc. The do have their uses...
And I was going to suggest sharpening as well. And the Lansky system is great! I use to sharpen bayonets with them to the point you could shave with them using a Lansky. I have a knock off system right now that is cheaper, but works just about as well. Can't remember the brand on it though.... |
I use bestknives.com Fast shipping, great products and good prices.

X3 on the Lansky system recommendation!!
I have a number of knives, including some Gerbers - Good solid workhorse knives, and affordable. My latest and most favorite everyday work knife is the Kershaw Leek. It is a Speed Assist knife that opens in a flash with just one hand and has very good steel that comes sharp and stays that way a long time. Not the least expensive out there, but worth every penny IMO. Here's a decent site that offers them for much less than regular retail. http://www.thekershawstore.com/Kersh...nives_s/34.htm As to the serrated issue, I have a couple I use if I'm going to be outdoors and need something more rugged for things like larger branch cutting or cutting tough animal tissue. Other than that, I prefer a plain blade for everything else. And yes, the serrated portions are more of a PITA to keep sharp. |
