    I believe you are right with the scallion, it is same model with the snap-on logo on it. I couldn't remember if that was the scallion or the leek

    see above, the designer on that one I believe is Ken Onion, he designs some awesome knives





    PS: if you really want to see a cool kershaw, check out the Kershaw Tilt.....made a very short time, it was their special edition last year i think. I am on a quest to find one when I get the money

    yep, ken onion is the designer and the model is after that ie: leek, blur, scallion

    he designed a set of kitchen knives, I don't have a set, but If i had to guess, they are good knives

    The blur is a really popular knife, it is one of the models I would thing about carrying if I didn't have a ZT (aka: a bombproof folder, I never worry about breaking it lol). I have a scallion (I think) and a Leek, both are are awesome knives, I just like knives with a larger handle.

    Now if my name was Scott on the other hand, I probably would have crashed the truck and lit it on fire while screaming like a little girl.

    depends on the knife, my mood, and what I have access to a the time.

    I have a set of Buck Oil stones that I used for a while and they still do an awesome job.

    I have a diamond hone (cheap one) that stays in my truck with a truck knife (soon to be switched from a cheap gerber fixed to a USMC kabar)

    But most often (at least lately) I use a Worksharp Knife and Tool sharpener. It puts an awesome Convex edge on it. There is a learning curve, but ever time I sharpen a knife, I get it sharper. It is also great for sharpening machetes, axes, shovels, and other tools. It is basically a very small belt grinder. I got it because it gives an awesome edge and it is pretty dumby proof (except for tip grinding). But overall, it is awesome and my favorite way to sharpen

    If I had the money, I would be using an edgepro Apex, easy to use, get blades VERY sharp, but expensive:(


    these work well, but tear your edge up, so be careful. The carbide in them will not give a smooth edge, it may be sharp, but not a smooth sharp.

    Found this on Amazon for work. Pretty good for a cheap knife! Has seat belt cutter and window punch.

    They are made in China which sucks and is probably why it is cheaper. The quality is good and they are sharp as hell. So far it surpassed my expectations for a $12 knife.
