I am a bartender, but not a mixologist... I am the Dep. Manager of a pub in the UK and as such spend most of my life behind the bar. However I do alot of taking deliveries, etc. Not just making drinks. So I have a little pocketknife. Sharp, small and light. It's a BYRD fishing knife, that my wife got as a promotional item years ago. Still love it.
However it's starting to die, and i need to find something else.
Anyone else have a decent folding knife on their apron/pocket that that become perfect for this line of work?
Love mine is thin, locking, and clipped. Dont like how heavy it is, and it gets slippy when wet.
I got a accessories kit from lotus that came with a polishing compound and polishing wheels, and tried it on a cheapo pocket knife I had. I've tried applying a small amount of wax on the wheel and went at the blade at a fairly low level and after 10 minutes of running it across the surface (gently) and looking for any difference and not finding any, I've come to the smart conclusion that I probably did something wrong.
I tried it again, but this time from a noname brand green polishing wax barrel, that came from a accessory kit I found online. And it had the same effect. (This was kinda tricky, I had to dig it out of the barrel with a spike I had and basically take out the top half since it was hardened,, which I assume means it's dried and useless)
If anyone has any advice on what I could do (or did wrong), it would be greatly appreciated!
Anyone have a recommended treatment? It's a brand new knife (CRKT Razelcliffe)

That guy is pushing his accent to the LIMITSSS
"To clear a path, defend yourself, or respond to an emergency! Most EDC knives can be more than 100 dollars, but order now, and it's yours for 19.99! We'll even send you two!"
Gives the energy of the commercial from the 80s of the hollow-handled survival knife. Even the bottle opener, in case you're out there, in the woods, trying to survive, and come across some tactical beers.
And the quick-cut to another frame when Mr. Special Warfare says "...And I know knives!", lol, it has a terrible action that he can't operate, so they do that hilarious jump.
Both are beefy big boys when it comes to multi-tools. The Supertool 300 is certainly more old school, as evidenced by the fact that you can't access any implements with the multi-tool closed, as was standard in the early days of multi-tools. But realistically, for most people, the implement that people want to be readily available and accessible one handed is the knife. And a lot of people carry a dedicated pocket knife even IF they are carrying a multi-tool with a blade or blades. So if you are one of those people, the Supertool 300 might make more sense. It's got some things going for it--it's much cheaper than a Surge for starters. It's got a true 3D Phillips screwdriver. It can also take bits, using the separately sold adapter that fits over the Phillips implement. As mentioned, it has the same beefy pliers as the Surge with the same replaceable wire cutting blades. You don't have the versatility of the t-shank adapter like the Surge, but you do have a dedicated file and a dedicated wood saw. And you don't have scissors, a definite loss if you are someone who uses scissors a lot. But if you are someone for whom the initial purchase price is a concern, the Supertool 300 is 75% the retail price of the Surge, with the same quality and very nearly the same functionality. I myself had given serious consideration to the Supertool 300, but for me the t-shank adapter and one handed, outboard knives made the difference; I'm someone who WILL use a multi-tool's knives in lieu of a dedicated knife if it is convenient enough, and the Surge is, in my opinion. But if you are someone who will ALWAYS have a dedicated pocket knife on them, regardless of a multi-tool, then the Surge might not have enough significant advantage over the Supertool 300 to justify the expense.
it was from my older brother when he was in boy scouts so i was kinda worried when i lost it but it was behind my dresser 💯💯
I use my dad's pocketknife to cut when I'm feeling really bad with no outlet, if I don't get an outlet I feel worse and don't like myself. My dad doesn't use it but I can't risk taking it and him noticing that it's missing. What could I tell him so I could have it? I don't care what the reason is, I'm pretty much good with anything as long as it makes sense and doesn't arouse suspicion. Something like "I've always wanted one" or something my friends are doing with them, just believable. Need ideas.
Looking to get into knifes and am trying to find one that I like. It would be nice to have a decently long blade by the way
Hey yall I never post here but I noticed I lost a nice pocketknife I got as a gift and I can only imagine it was on campus. Its pretty nice so I can only imagine that someone just straight up took it for themselves. The one place I can think it wouldve been in is in Floor 2 of the gym where the single bathrooms are, since thats where I took a shower after the gym and it mightve fallen out of my pocket and I hadnt noticed. Its like a dark green olive color. I feel like someone probably has just taken it by now and I dont blame them, but Im desperate to find it so this is my last resort, thank you.
I wish I had a picture of it but its Kershaw brand and dark green olive thats the best description I can give.
reading past threads it sounds like some of y’all carry pocketknives/multi tools and find them useful. What exactly do they come in handy for? What should I look for if I purchase? I think a pocketknife would be a dope way to supplement my Butch Energy(tm) but I don’t want it to be a waste.Please bestow your wisdom upon a 20 year old baby butch ☺️ and thank you in advance I love it here
