I have bought and tried a number of fixed blade knives. I like the Cold Steel SRK the best, so far. You can see I filed the top of the blade so I can put pressure on the spine while working on wood. I also made a sheath for it. Here are all the sharp pointy things I carry when I go hiking or camping.
Nice sheath. If you file the coating off farther back of the spine, it will probably throw even better sparks for you.
How do you keep your sharps so pristine? Especially the SRK with the coating. My LTC with the black coating looks different, probably after every use. I thought about sanding the coating off, but was too lazy. I figure it will be gone over time through use.
I found that for my F1, without coating, it cleans right up with some soapy water and a scrub brush.
And I just had to file out a bunch of nicks in my machete. It is definitely a user and doesn't get that much TLC.
