  • 1. How Should I Look After My Opinel Knife ? Avoid Leaving It in Damp Environments for Too Long
    1. How should I look after my Opinel knife ? Avoid leaving it in damp environments for too long. Grease the metal parts regularly. Dry the blade using a dry cloth after each use. 2. How do you sharpen an Opinel knife ? Use an Opinel fine‐grain natural stone on a dry, degreased blade. As if you wanted to cut the stone, move the blade from the base towards the tip, at an angle of 18/20 degrees. A wide angle will thicken the cutting edge: it will be more resistant but less sharp. A small angle will thin the cutting edge: it will be less resistant but sharper. A burr forms on the opposite side of the blade. Remove this by passing this side over the stone, without pressing. To finish off, pass both sides over the stone, twice. 3. Can I put my Opinel knife in the dishwasher ? Folding knives are not designed to be washed in the dishwasher. You can wash them by hand, being careful never to leave them soaking in the water and to dry and grease them properly afterwards. Fixed‐ blade kitchen knives with stainless steel blades can be put in the dishwasher. Make sure you use washing and rinsing products from the same brand. Place your knife in the cutlery basket with the blade downwards. Once the washing cycle has finished, dry your knife and put it away. 4. What is the difference between a carbon blade and a stainless steel blade ? The carbon blade has an unparalleled cutting quality and sharpens very easily.

  • Knife, Combat, Utility the Next Military Issue Survival Knife
    Knife, Combat, Utility The next military issue survival knife Standard Issue since World War II Most are familiar with the Air Force & Navy aircrew survival knife with 5 inch fixed blade from Camillus is now manufactured in accordance with U.S. Government specifications by the Ontario Knife Company. In addition, jet pilots and select crew members with ejection capability were issued the MC1 or M724 automatic rescue knife with 3 inch clip point blade and parachute shroud cutter. This knife was issued from 1957 until 1993. In lieu of the MC1, helicopter pilots and crew are issued the Camillus Model 1760 folding pocket knife with their survival vest. This stainless steel knife is equipped with 2.75 inch blade, can opener, cap opener, screw driver, and awl/punch. This folding knife is also standard issue with ground combat elements and has been around since 1945. It has been affectionately known by troops as the Demo Knife. Official Issue Swiss Army Knife The Swiss issued model 1961, a similar knife to the demo is named the Soldier by Victorinox and Standard Issue by Wenger. In 2003, Victorinox released a 111mm series of knifes known as the Trailmaster based on the German Army Knife. Not to be confused with Cold Steel’s Trail Master Bowie Knife, Victorinox renamed this knife Trekker. Offered with a one-handed open blade, the Trekker became very popular in the United States. In 2008 the Trailmaster/Trekker knife was officially adopted by the Swiss Government to replace the Soldier model 1961. The new Soldier features a one-handed serrated locking blade, Philips screwdriver, can opener, small screw driver, bottle opener, large locking screwdriver, wire striper, reamer, wood saw and key ring.

Daar heeft ze Mzich gelukkig weinig van aangetrokken, want inmiddels is ze één van de vier vrouwelijke mees- tersmeden van de American Bladesmith Society. Een geweldige prestatie. De reportage in dit nummer gaat over Véronique, haar liefde voor smeden en damast en de (voor)oordelen waar je als vrouwelijke smid mee te maken krijgt. Het decembernummer van Messenmarkt heeft altijd een uitgebreid verslag van de jaarlijkse Messenmakerijdagen in Gembloux, georganiseerd door de Belgian Knife Society. Het is de grootste en belangrijkste beurs van de Lage Landen en hij wordt dan ook druk bezocht, zowel door standhou- ders als bezoekers. Messenmarkt kan helaas maar een deel van het vaak schitterende aanbod tonen. We hebben het bovendien ditmaal eens anders gedaan: van veel messen laten we twee of soms drie foto’s zien, van verschillende kanten of details.
