New in the humidor today

[cohibaIV]

OK, where can I get one and how much?

T.

Would you like to try one first mate? They are 'A' bloody long

PM, if so

[Stevieboy]

Nice stuff mate - never seen that RyJ band before!?!?! Is that a brand new box?

RyJ puritos with the change.

[skyhigh]

not sure about date, as nothing on bottom of box to give me a clue, i assume new. He said he had about 25 pesos left and he got em from the airport on way home.

[cj121]

Ta. Looking forward to firing one up, but I'll give them a little rest first.

My sharpener is one of these. If you want something relatively straightforward that gets your knives well beyond shaving sharp (seriously), then you won't go far wrong with this. I wouldn't attempt to use it for any serious reprofiling though.

Nice piece of kit Dave.

I've had one of these since '01



and can never get it near what it was like. Mind you the Spyderco piece isn't cheap, although I can appreciate the quality definately.

As stated before pc starting being a twat, mate went to Cuba and spent alittle cash i gave him..results were a box of monte no4, various singles and a box of RyJ puritos with the change.

Nice haul there Skyhigh and good to get some bits and bobs off the island directly ay?

For serious knife sharpening kit, try something from here their knives are really great to use.

Global knives are great, although now that loads of famous chefs endorse them they have become almost twice as expensive as they were 10 years ago .

I love the guy on the web-page, who I think is their QC-head or something similar; I once happened to see a knife sharpening demonstration he did at the Culinary Olympics in Germany a few years ago and it was one of the most amusing pieces of knife tricks I have ever seen. The guy is a real showman.

The Sincle-Blade Puro Cutter!

I have a most excellent German V-Cutter I would be willing to trade for a blade like this one

Names TJ, TJCoro, and fine gentlemen should always carry a fine pocket knife.

[Big_T_UK]

I know this is off topic but I know my knives. TJ there are two great makers of knife that are from North America, surely easier for you to source then for us to send to you.

With a wide production range for all prices I suggest Benchmade, my everyday carry knife.

http://www.benchmade.com/

A particularly nice example is the on the next link, but it is "gold class" so expensive.

If you want to go properly up-scale then I suggest you take a look at Chris Reeve knives.

http://www.chrisreeve.com/

If it is a folding knife you desire then the Sebenza is the finest on the market, in my humble opinion.

Just my thoughts...

[TJCoro]

If he brings a knife, you bring a gun!

Thanks, senor Big T....what do you know about guns and automatic weapons!

NamesTJ, TJCoro, and you can never be too careful,right muchachos?



*Think they will trade for a super fine German made V-Cutter...Hmmmm:

[Big_T_UK]

TJ,

Way more than I know about knives, why?

T.

[daverave999]

I'd choose Spyderco over Benchmade any day, Big T.

[EDIT] I won't argue with the Sebenza though. If you're looking at spending that kind of cash why not go custom? Shall we start a knives thread? Incidentally, I'd choose just about any blade shape other than tanto unless your intended use is stabbing oil drums. LOL, and don't even get me started on liner locks...

[Big_T_UK]

God no, Spyderco standards dropped years ago.

There are some VERY good B?ker knives, but the good ones are from Germany and harder for TJ to source. The B?ker stuff in the US is mainly non-German made, and OK for BUDGET kit. Same goes for Gerber, OK for cheap stuff.

There's no blade in the land that would match a finely tuned and keenly honed German V-Cutter senor...it's a shame they don't make them

[monkey66]

I had a CRKT Ron Lake sig which I was very fond of. Had a friend who always liked it so I gave it to him when he went travelling around the world. Have been hankering after another folding for a while now.
