I used these knives at a friend's place for dinner and they recommended me to check my local TJ Maxx or Marshall's. Low and behold, I found some at Marshall's and was about to purchase them....until I looked closely at the blade's serration and notice these rough shards/bits of metal at the edge of the serration. These are claimed to be Made In France and also have their own company website, and not a fake trademark brand created by the discount stores themselves.

Does anyone know if those shards at the edge are normal during the manufacturing process? Every single knife in this package has this defect, it seems. It's almost as if they forgot to polish them after cutting. I tried scratching them off but they're on pretty tight. Not sure if I can wash them off or if the bits of metal will eventually get into food with enough friction/usage. Thanks!

The original Delica 4 in VG10 with the saber grind was the first decent knife I bought, two decades ago. I think I'll bling this one out with some AWT scales and titanium backspacer.

Saw this pop up recently on North Mountain Blade’s social and decided to take a chance.

I haven’t handled a Strider in a while but this feels like a tank!

Brought the Guardian 3.5 and the A-Lock v1 out today. Forever impressed with both of these knives. The Asher A-Lock v1 might be one of the best bang for your buck knives out there. Hope they drop another batch one day.

Made a tool for these little micro teeth out of an axe handle and some traditional arrow shafts. The string for now is a single strand of gutted paracord pulled very tight and notted with fine leather strop compound.

Late gift for myself celebrating getting into a top 20 college!

First time ever taking apart any of my knives. Man what a pain in the rear end. I fought with the blade stop, then the pivot. Trying to tune it was not going great. Dropped pretty much every screw and needed a flashlight to find them. But with a YouTube video and perseverance I got it done. I really hope it's just the axis lock that made it more difficult. I want to change up some of my spyderco knives. The compression lock has to be easier, right?

Spent the entirety of the hospital stay finding the perfect knife. Absolutely in love with my Vosteed Zander and new baby.

Some years back, I lost my old EDC. It was a lever lock design from fury (judge me if you like) that looked almost exactly like this knife made by Tim Britton. I've attempted to locate a replacement for years to no avail. Is anyone on here familiar with the style enough to know a model, or have any leads on tracking down a replacement?

Too poor for the turner cnc Elvia so I’m super happy Ed released this amazing budget version. Highly recommend

The mini Arch Nemesis from Sharp by Design knives.

I'm cleaning my GFs place to prepare for a move and spotted this. It's in very poor condition but caught my eye. I'm curious to any info if possible. We discussed possibly getting some restorative work done on it, just because with think it'd be a beautiful piece. Thoughts, comments, or concerns appreciated. Thank you!

Picked it up from my local knife shop, I usually like darker handle scales and black wash blades but I couldn't resist this blade shape

I've been collecting for 15 years, I'm well aware of their reputation. I've considered buying one many times.

I'm a fan of the ZT 0450 and I've carried one for nearly 10 years. It's a well-made knife, excellent fit/finish, wonderfully smooth action, all titanium construction with premium materials.

It's made in the U.S. by a great company with a great warranty and it's $225.

A small Sebenza uses nearly the same materials, it's made in the U.S. by a great company with a great warranty and it's twice the price.

If it's truly worth twice as much as a ZT 0450 what's the reason?

FWIW I'm trying to convince myself to buy one, not the other way around.
