@@blackhole6834I haven’t read anything that would state otherwise about it being safe for food prep, but the risk of chipping and being non stainless makes it a less than likely candidate.
I'm fairly content with them lol, thanks for the shine brother! Sweet! Take it you're familiar with Carothers Performance Knives? They make some amazing knives.
@@tyarnold4088 I’d want a Spectre, but I’m not sure he’s even making those anymore. Which Medford model do you have? I’m mostly interested in the Marauder, Slim Midi, and Praetorian T - for now 😅
Can tell by them hands this dude either fights or at least hits the heavy bag bare-knuckle. My hands looked like that when I was younger from boxing and doing mechanic work.
Never had anyone comment on my knuckles before 🙌. I took up kickboxing recently and have spent more time on the heavy bag, but I've also been training my knuckles from doing push-ups on them. How long have you trained? I've only been doing it a few months.
@@TriedandTrueEDC I trained when I was a teenager and in my twenties, back in the 90s. But I'm old and disabled now, go figure. "I'm not as strong as I once was, but I'm as strong once as I've ever been." Meaning, I probably have one good fight in me worth of strength left, if I'm ever in dire need of it. Used to train under Shiva Ki in kickboxing. He called it ninjutsu back then, but it was basically kickboxing and grappling with a lot of Okinawan influence, which was a combination of Okinawan karate and Muay Thai. Okinawan karate is more directly linked to traditional Chinese kung fu than other forms of karate are. But they all stemmed from Fujian white crane kung fu originally. There are pictures and videos of Shiva Ki training people and fighting in Tough Man competitions online somewhere.
@@TriedandTrueEDC Shiva has an old website up for his knife making: "ShivaKiCustomKnives." The pictures are on there. But he's got to be in his upper 80s by now. I don't know if he still forges knives anymore.
@@AlphaMachinaMy man, that is very cool! I had no idea that form of karate was tied to Chinese Kung Fu. I’ve wanted to learn martial arts since I was a kid. Wasn’t until a year and half ago did I pick up TKD with my daughter. I had a bit of training from a few mentors when I was in my teens, but it was very sporadic. Took up kickboxing a few months ago for the cardio, but have picked up quite a few things as it’s also taught by the same school teaching Taekwondo. I’ll have to search Shiva Ki when I get the chance, thanks for sharing brother!
Morning brother, are you sure you’re emailing: triedandtrueedc2015@gmail.com I’ve checked multiple times and I haven’t seen anything from you. If you’re comfortable sharing the first part of your email before the @ symbol I can search the junk inbox.
Much love for the manix!😍 I need the magnacut one!
hells yeah! 🙌
@ the pm2 magnacut would be interesting too
@@rjlewis8346 they just released the satin version of the Magnacut PM2 if you’re looking for a DLC blade.
The best steel is the one you have on you and use. ✌️
Touché 🙌🏼!
You use rex121 for food prep?
I enjoy the patina non stainless steels develop, so I will intentionally cut my steaks with them. I do keep it oiled when not in use though 😅
@ I mean is it safe for food because of that steel? Maybe some toxic material..

Wow, you got a couple of decent knives eh? What a fantastic selection of knives, BTW i agreed with your pick of the small fixie.
I'm fairly content with them lol, thanks for the shine brother! Sweet! Take it you're familiar with Carothers Performance Knives? They make some amazing knives.
LT Wright, the X on the blade indicates 3V steel.
Oh very cool, thanks for shedding that knowledge!
I liked that Oz Roosevelt until I saw the price tag. Holy shitballs!
I struggle with sound financial decisions 😅
All the American made Titanium midtech knives cost around there. Holt, Brown, Medford or Koenig. All around there.
@@tyarnold4088 I’m still holding out on a Holt and Medford 😅
@@TriedandTrueEDC I got a Medford, but I still need a Holt. I will definitely get one someday. But definitely not today. Lol.
