Given 'flipper' knives are now illegal to import into Oz I have been looking at locally sourced flippers. My latest, purchased with birthday $, I said I would spend on clothes  ::) ::) :D, is a Kershaw Junk Yard Dog II  8) 8). I think I like it the best out of all my Kershaw flippers , Zing , Skyline & Turbulence(AO flipper). I thought the Junk dog might of been a little over the top  :think: :think: , it might be but I love it  :D :D :D




 It is a big bugger , next to a Spirit & Spyderco Tenacious. It has the best flipper action out of all my Kershaw flippers , very smooth & FAST  :D :D

HAPPY Mat  :D :D

1st generation Microtech/Lightfoot L.C.C. Manual Action, made in December 2000.
While this is a production model, the build quality is comparable to a good custom knife.
Details are a precision ground pivot bushing with a "spring washer" around it which smoothens opening & closing action, a half round cutout in the blade tang where it touches the bladestop, and a ceramic ball detent.








Specs:

Length open: 21,0 cm
Length closed: 11,9 cm
Blade length: 9,0 cm
Blade thickness: 3,77 mm
Steel: 154CM
Hardness: 60 HRC
Handle material: Titanium bolsters/liners & carbon fiber
Locktype: linerlock (1,6 mm thick)
Weight: 168 gram
Edge done by me  :D

Finally got my Spyderco Rock Lobster. I really like this knife, fits my pocket and my hand very well. I think the blade shape is very useful as well. Colour matches my zebralight H31 nicely too.

Good choice :tu: I've been considering it for the exact same reasons, but can't justify the price+shipping it here at the moment. Maybe next summer.  :dd:

I like the jimping to. Its a really nice knife to use. I wonder if the new lockback Victorinox is planning will be as good as this one?

I got this beauty as a gift to myself for an upcoming personal milestone.  :)



Spyderco Gayle Bradley.  This knife is SWEET!  CPM M4 steel, 3.5" blade, carbon fiber over G10 grips.  The liners are stainless.  It opens effortlessly, and locks up like a vault.  This baby is built like a tank.  As for the edge, playing with it last night I didn't realize I'd cut myself until I saw the blood....  ::)  Carried it all day at work, and I think I'm in love.....  :tu:

I just got a Imperial Schrade sodbuster in yellow. It turned out to be a surprisingly well built knife considering how cheap it was. Only problem was that the edge was rubbish, but 10min of sharpening fixed that.  :tu:

Haven't actually bought a new folder in a while, but I've got my eye on one of the new orange Pingos.  It's going to be next on my knife list.

These three joined the family in the past few days.  The Blur is actually returning home after an extended vacation.  :)  The Twitch II and Scallion have been splitting pocket time for the past few days, hence the bit of tape residue I just noticed on the the Twitch.  :oops:  The Scallion has always been a favorite model of mine, carried one everyday for years.  :tu:  I had a bad experience with my last Twitch, but it may have just been a lemon.  This one is better than my old in every way.  :tu:
