likewise,though it's sometimes difficult,easy with small objects, anything bigger quite another thing.
one problem here is that quality blades are very expencive in Finland, and it's no use buying blades from a fleemarket here, usually only rubbish.
luckily found a few stores that have a good assortment of good stuff, reasonable prized aswell

I would check amazon and eBay there's always amazing deals and I'm sure they'll ship to you out there.

ok,guys; your honest opinion about cold steel kobun,is it worth the money?
their gi tanto looks nice but I don't know...the wibes are kinda strange about it

 

[Roninsensei]

The kobun as a fighting knife is ok.. The GI tanto is a better fighting knife and slightly better steel. The kobun is an "as is" knife, can't do mods to it much. The GI tanto can be modified in many ways.





Is the Kobun worth the money? Yes... You get a lot more for your money with the GI tanto....

Yeah but when you finally get your cold steel knife it's better than Christmas!! Lol

 

[jontte]

just got an e-mail saying it's anroute to my pick-up place,so think I'll have it tomorrow

it's gonna be nice,oh-yeah, don't know where my fascination for blades come...

 

[jontte]

got my gi-tanto...
very seldom do I have knife that is sharp from the beginning, it's it's beautiful in a very leathal way, brutal but I love it.
and it feels sturdy and well made, I also carry a Finnish knife called "puukko", handy for makeing tinder and all sorts of things, not a big one, easy to keep sharp.

 

[Roninsensei]

So glad you got it and you like it! We usually lose the plastic scales and cord wrap the handle, its much better for grip.. I also grind or file off the back hand guard so that choking up is easier. Pics of or custom Gi tantos soon to follow..

great, it's interesting to see what can be done when you know what to do
