Global G Series 3" Paring Knife (GSF-46)
I bought a small paring knife and a small peeling knife to replace one I had broken. They are the perfect size and weight for so many jobs and so beautifully balanced in your hand. When using them, I have to remember they are much sharper than my old knife. Either one is the perfect small kitchen knife.

Global paring knives always feel so solid in the hand, I think. Thank you for the feedback and review, Lynda.

CIVIVI Stylum Olive Micarta (C20010B-B)
One of my favourite knives in the collection. Feels nice in the hand. The micarta is grippy enough and looks great. The front flip is easy to open, and the bounce back is minimal if done correctly.

CRKT Pilar III Black D2 (5317D2)
I love this knife. I don’t have a huge collection, so this is not a broad comparison. It is simple but attractive in it’s design and the blade is easy to maintain (smooth profile, no serrations). I love the notch for your first finger, in effect it extends the handle of the knife for a much better grip and feel than my other (two) knives. The opening and closing of the blade has a precise, smooth, mechanical feel that is intensely satisfying and inspires confidence. The only complaint I have about the knife is that the frame lock took a while for me to get used to. I don’t think that would be peculiar to this knife, but it’s my first frame lock so that was a thing. That said, I got used to it so now it’s my favourite knife.

Uncomfortable in the hand. Liner lock sticks after using knife for medium duty tasks. Poor edge retention. Satisfying flipping action though!!

SOG Flare Satin (FLA1001-CP)
This is the second one I’ve owned (lost the first).
Good knife for the money, stands up well, holds an acceptable edge (I use this thing as a knife, prybar wnd screw driver regularly… I’m not nice to it…).

Work Sharp Precision Adjust Knife Sharpener (WSBCHPAJ)
I won't lie, it's not good. For the price it's hard to expect much more (that alone is why I didn't put 1 star)

There is no way, except by drilling holes or buying a clamp, to make this sit still without having constantly one hand on the base. It make sharpening hard to do, especially with bigger knives

The clamp is held by weak magnets and a "friction fit" (mine was loose and the clamp was hardly secure at any given time). It's constantly falling off during sharpening, which is quite dangerous. You can solve the problem by getting a hand on the knife to avoid it getting off the clamp, but it's hard to stabilize the knife AND the base that way... you'd need 3 hands, simply put.

Lastly, the clamp itself have a hard time securing even my pocket knife. At best it's held in place but I've never felt it secure in a way I wasn't worried it would fall off if I went even a little too strong

This system have some great idea, poorly executed and they have cheap out in all the wrong places.

I would recommend this system ONLY for very short knives (3-4" blade) with thick spines

Kershaw Cannonball (2061)
Cannonball is well made, and has a good edge. As an EDC, I prefer to carry point down in my waistband of my jeans. The clip has the ability to carry blade forward or blade backwards, but does not have the ability to swap ends so that the point of the blade is downwards. This doesn't really affect the functionality of the knife. It is also significantly heavier than my Kershaw "Hinderer", which is my current EDC, though I do like the deep belly blade shape of the Cannonball. I'd probably buy it again.
Response from House of Knives
Nov 20, 2021
Thanks for the detailed comments. It's too bad more knives don't allow for alternative clip placement, but I think it limits the design in other ways. Hope it serves you well in any case.
