F. Dick Beef Splitter 16″ Blade 18″ Plastic Handle



Also splits horses!

Got invaded again last week, was sure glad to have this little baby hanging over the fireplace when it happened. I’ve never had an easier time dealing with cavalry: even if you don’t knock the rider right out of his saddle, his mount won’t exactly be in any condition to let him go around for another charge, if you know what I mean. Definitely worth the extra fifty bucks for those last couple of inches on the blade – the added weight really improves the balance of this already-excellent polearm. Would definitely be interested in purchasing 10 or 12-foot models if they became available.


Cons: None, although the addition of a spear point or maybe a billhook or two would make it a lot easier to snag the more nimble riders (like those pesky mounted archers!)

Masanobu VG-10 Sujihiki 10.5″ (27cm) – Right

Masanobu sujijiki 10.5 Great knife. You get what you pay for with this one. Retains edge for long time. Easy to sharpen. Use only waterstone for best results. My buddy has the same knife and he used an oil stone and gave his steel a nice shine. Excuse my sarcasm. Anyway, if you have the money to spend, I would spend it on this one.

took a chance on these knives I think $100 knives are hype so I took a chance on these more moderately priced knives and I believe it was worth it. They are the most expensive knives I have and now I have two of the utility knives (did give one away though), one of the boning knife, and one of the 15cm kitchen knife. You have to be careful with these knives because once they start cutting they will slide through, so you have to have good control and positioning or will cut yourself. The bad is that the one 17cm utility knife I’m using came with a not so perfect blade though it’s still very sharp. It has like three tiny knicks that are hard to see. The blades are thinner then normal blades but I was hoping the material be harder then this. Another problem is that even after washing/drying the utility knife after every use there is a tiny spot on the blade with a small discoloration in the metal. I wonder if it was used for something it shouldn’t have been used for or maybe the crafting
