Tonight I bought my first real Forged Kitchen knife. I'll never go back.

for those of you that are not hip to knife tech.

There are really only two basic types of knifes. There is the stampped and there is the forged. The stampped, pressed or cut, is cut from a piece of sheetmetal and then given a handle and a edge. Cheep processes provide cheep knives. Meanwhile a forged is folded several times over and then shappened. It's one piece of metal, then it is given handle composits.

They are super sharp.

"Knife play is form of consensual BDSM edgeplay involving knives, daggers, and swords as a source of physical and mental stimulation. Knives are typically used to cut away clothing, scratch the skin, remove wax after wax play, or simply provide sensual stimulation. Knife play is sometimes, but not always, a form of fear play. Knife play can also be a form of temperature play or body modification. The 'victim' in some cases, is shown a sharp implement, and then blindfolded, and a blunt knife used on their skin. Usually sharp knives are used but for certain purposes special dull knives such as an oyster knife or a butter knife may be used for a mindfuck (for example: the practice of insertive sex play, without the certain knowledge of the submissive that an exchange of implements - blunt for sharp - has occurred. This is a form of fear play, yet it still maintains safety).

Knife play itself is quite broad. Such scenes can include anything from slowly and sensually scraping wax off a body or moving a blade along the persons skin without cutting them to role play where the fantasy abductor slices off the (willing) victim's clothing. Knife play can also break the skin, either for light scratches or deep cuts meant to scar.

For many knifeplay can be highly erotic, as the physical and psychological reactions can be intense. It is also an activity that takes a great amount of care to learn properly. As with any sort of edge play, that can potentially draw blood, there is the risk of passing diseases along. Also, there is the risk of cutting the wrong spot and causing excessive blood loss, or accidental stabbing".

Mach said:

I sold those when I was in college as part a marketting company called Vector (r).

It was so much fun showing up to people's houses carrying knives.

They are possibly the best knives ever made for home use. Absolutely astounding quality. And I'm not just saying that becuase I sold them.

The ones I have now are crap. I bought one really good one, because you dont really need 10 good ones, esp when youre just one person! But its just not good enough

Imago said:

susannah said:

Hey I'm just one person too



Pity I share my house with 9 more people

Actually,
I'm in the market for some really quality shivs.

I won't have sharp knives in the house.

My dad is a big knife collector and user. He has taught be how to sharpen a knife real good. He just game me a knife a couple of days ago.. the kind you open with one hand. I'm practicing.

Knives in all honesty, scare the living crap out of me...
