how do you like this Pallares pocket knife? It looks mighty fine,Cut up an apple at my desk for my mid-morning snack to remind me of more normal times, even though the kitchen is less than 15 feet away from my workplace now.
I like it a lot, but I’m not sure I would call it “fine”. Elegant perhaps? It is a friction folder, but very stiff to open and close, so no real risk of it closing unexpectedly. The carbon steel blade thin and slicey, and it packs a lot of blade in a light, slim package. The handle is plastic, and just a little too skinny for my long slim fingers to hold comfortably when doing pull-cuts. I love that it is made by a family-owned company in Catalonia. I have a few other knives from the same company and I really like them all:how do you like this Pallares pocket knife? It looks mighty fine,
Very amusing No doubt some snake-oil salesman (corporation ) will soon try the same quackery with the Covid 19 epidemic Very smooth Canoe too

All,
I am seeking some assistance. I am downsizing my collection due to retirement plans in the future. I have some knife related books that I need to get rid of. I don't want to trash them as there is too much good information that can be shared with a younger generation. These books are about collecting traditional knives and making knives (Wayne Goddard and others). Also a couple books that I got from Japan several years ago about the Seki makers with beautiful pictures but I can't read Japanese. I want to sell them cheap to good homes. Any advice on where I should list these? Again, they will be cheap but I must get shipping covered.
After this I will be selling off a bunch of of Japan made Parkers, Frost, Schatt & Morgan, Robeson, and others. The nicer ones and some fine stag in the group. Nothing from China in my stuff. Never has been.
I still work M-F every week, and am just planning ahead. Let's all hope we get this behind us and GEC can get back to making those fine traditional knives. Hope to see you all at the Rendezvous.
