Joker knives
I just purchased a stag-handled Joker "cricket." I'm pleased with the design of the knife, but it seems remarkably dull. I plan to try to set a decent edge on it tonight, but in the meantime I was wondering: Does anyone know about the steels used by Joker and about the reputation of their knives generally? Any information would be appreciated.
Someone is supposed to have said, "Only accurate guns are interesting." By the same token, in my opinion, "Only sharp knives are interesting." If this blade (or any other) won't take a decent edge, it doesn't interest me. For the record, I use a Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker; I've always gotten the best results with the least effort with that system.
For the record; I have to use a borrowed computer at the moment, so my posts and replies will be irregular. Thanks---looking forward to some good discussions here.
