HH does have some nice bargains. Also shipping to EU is reasonable considering some other UK companies (you'd think that they don't like shipping ex-UK) - though wish they'd have that upfront in the billing process (only get it right at the end of checkout).

Looks quite slick and not too aggressive looking as an EDC. Usually I carry a SAK - but looking for a solid single-bladed locking blade knife for a while.

Bought this one the other day. The factory sheath was nearly useless. Made my own. Like the knife quite well so far. :)

Found a folder pen-knife I'd misplaced. I'm not a fan of folding knives but it now serves as a backup to my backup (I like knives.. ) and doesn't take much space. Cheap but sharp.

Nice! I have one of the cold steel gi tantos. I think they make pretty good stuff though I find their more bargain items may need a little attention to reach their full potential.

Not my most recent, but my largest! Being a Crocodile Dundee fan it almost made sense to hip carry a proper Bowie Knife. Since a proper Bowie is out of my price range I opted for this Cold Steel Pocket Sword. The blade might be long but not after it has passed through a car door!

Q - do you know what steel they use? I'm yet to find a Portuguese made knife that doesn't hold a good edge.

Kind of suspect they use similar to Opinel or Mora. Though I'm quite sure the kitchen knife I have is either a cheap San Mai or even just a plated Carbon blade.

They're definitely the unsung hero's of the knife industry. The pocket knifes I'd rate on par with Opinel but cheaper. IVO / ICEL / Curel / SICO / MAM.. etc.

Hi there!! :wave:

Curel knives are a tad superior to the other brands. The brand hails from one of the oldest pocket knife areas in Portugal, Caldas da Rainha.

This one I've bought is carbon steel. Seems to have a pretty tough blade to be sharpened, which is also a good sign of edge retention. I've done it a patina treatment and looks nice. They say the patina can also protect from corrosion. Let's see!!

Hope you're fine!!!

Cheers ...Q
