IMPROVE MY SKILLS with Knives

>>813654
What are you wanting to do with your knife?
What kind of knife do you have?

>>813654
THE BASICS OF KNIFE HANDLING:
1. Make sure your knife is sharp. Dull knives can lead the user to use extra pressure and the knife can slip.
2. For starters, start with a decent grade steel. If you get a hard steel it will keep it's edge but be harder to sharpen.
3. Remember to make sure any locking knife is fully locked before use. Never use force on a non-locking folding knife.
4. Always remember where your other hand is, and what is behind what you're cutting! It sounds silly, but you can seriously hurt yourself or destroy things by accident this way.
5. Firmly grip the handle of the knife and shove it into your neck. All the way. Kill yourself.

when you feel it cutting into you, stop

you'll eventually learn how not to

google "Try stick" by Mors Kochanski and work on that. Make sure your blade is sharp though

>>813654

You couldn't cut your finger off on your end unless you sawed through it. You need a dedicated high velocity swing with all your power behind it.

To the bone? Yeah, but to do that you need to put your hand in front of whatever you're cutting and slip the blade into yourself.

Cut away from yourself; pretty easy

sorry!

the issue is some people bought a meme knife thats x10 as expensive, and the mora is superior for some glaringly obvious reason or another but they can't admit they drunkenly bought a knife that they didn't research properly and now are stuck defending their knife that cost so much more.

>>815309
I bought an esee 6 for $130 and shortly after, a mora companion for $12.
i know this feel...

>>813654
Hold the handle instead of the blade

>>815309
I can understand someone wanting to pay extra to buy something hand forged if only for something sentimental. But knives are tools, and eventually they give from wear and tear.

Id rather have spent that 20 bucks on something that I know will eventually give in, than to have spent 500 bucks on something and feel like I just got robbed when that eventually packs in.

>>815685
I Also bought an esee 6. Love the knife but boy do i suck dick at sharpening a micro bevel.

Bought a halle gaupe knife. 10/10 havent used the esee since

>If you get a hard steel it will ... be harder to sharpen.

Ya no, that's not true. Composition and heat treat determine sharpenability.

>>813738
Yes. They're used to cut lettuce. Plastic ones too.

Mora is the best value going. You're an idiot.
