New stabby thing
« on: January 12, 2010, 12:30:20 am »
Thanks to Dave Bowen, I am now the proud owner of a Nemesis Knives Arch Ally knife.  I have a secret fetish for small fixed blades and so when he offered me this little blade I jumped at it.



According to Nemesis, it's got a full tang s30v blade and a unique worm hole patterned G-10 handle.



The kydex sheath isn't bad, but it shows that not everyone can work with kydex effectively.  Sure it looks good, but it's actually quite large compared to the small knife, which is probably to allow it to properly fit the Tek-Lok on the back:



While I like the Tek-Loc overall, I find on smaller knives like this one it's just an awful lot of weight for nothing.  Fortunately, as you can see, it also comes with a beaded neck chain, which would be a viable option except for one thing- the kydex doesn't hold the knife securely enough, and a sudden jolt more often than not will cause the knife to fall out, which, in my books is a major no no for a neck knife.

In short, I love the knife, but I may be looking at sending this one to Eric at www.onscenetactical.com for a new sheath/carry system- something a little smaller and more usable.

I like that! very nice Boss.

now remember one of the good things about kydex is it's "workable" hair-dryer or a couple of "friends" in the sauna
and you can reshape it tighter or whatever you want! talk to Eric or I can ask Jeff at "Rainwalker" creations
to give you some tips :salute:
