A do it all utility knife is a pretty broad statement. Depending on his needs I would look at the Spyderco delica 4 for a folder, Mora garberg, Gerber strongarm or an Esee 3. Those are pretty well...

You can do whatever you want with your knives. Myself, and another guy, were just trying to make a helpful suggestion so you can get the most out of your knife. Good luck. :)

I'm sorry, I still don't see anything in what you posted, or elsewhere on the manufacturer site about this super special coating you keep talking about. I also don't see any cautions from them not to...

Apparently you sent a link to videos you never watched.
Your material (which can be many different things) is going to be treated. That's kinda the whole point of Micarta, but just to...

I don't think it is "wrapped in a thermoset", according to my research: "Thermosets are formed when two or more components chemically react with each other under ambient conditions or when induced by...

Micarta is a brand, and it can be any number of materials wrapped in a thermoset. As far as your statement that there is no "magic outer layer of micarta" this is not true except for the bit about...

I have purchased multiple Rat 5s, and paid between $50 and $65 for all of them. I have also sanded down the handles on all of them with absolutely no problems. If you bother to research it first,...

Yep, I have a bigger Ontario knife with a similar sheath and it is poor quality. Sheath is an important part of a fixed blade, best not to overlook and pay more for better sheath.

Got this the last time it was on sale. Ended up returning. Sheath is terrible -- poor quality, knife gets caught on the draw and using the button clasp just felt awkward. The sheath would have...

They usually sell about $25 under MSRP, so around $90. I dunno that dremeling the micarta would be a good idea. Could permanently destroy the fabric. Instead, you might be better off trying some...
