Hi there Benner what's the model of that spiderco next to boker (second from left) with white scales? looks very good thx.
That is a Pride which is actually a non-locking folder. It is sadly discontinued now.
Those scales are actually aluminium, so are more of a silver. Look white in the pic though.

That is a slippy which has been customised for me by a guy here in the UK, Russell White. The actual pattern of the knife is one from Taylor Eye Witness which is a cutlery company in Sheffield.
I did a thread on it here http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,7339.0.html

That Extrema Ratio is one sweet looking knife!! I also had just seen a CRKT My Tighe, which is the first serrated knife I think I would like. It seems easy enough to keep the serrated part sharp, anyone have one?You'd best hope that it is easy to keep sharp, as CRKT aren't famous for there edge holding :D

How do you like the Griptilian?, I've always wanted one but find them to be a bit pricey. Are the handles zytel or plastic?.
Post by: hawkchucker on December 12, 2008, 08:39:20 PM
Post by: Nutznboltz on December 12, 2008, 11:21:18 PM
Nutz the Griptillian uses a plastic that they give a tecky name to, but it is a reinforced plastic but it does work well. I would suggest that if they interest you look really into the D2 model. It holds an edge forever.
Thanks Hawkc. for the heads up. Is D2 easy to sharpen?. I think Benchmades current steel offering on the griptilian is 154CM , which I've used and it's not bad either.
Post by: WhichDawg on December 14, 2008, 01:29:54 PM
we luv our Griptilian. Axis locks are wonderful! (fun too). Well made, secure grip (hence the name)
and a nice overall design (in many models, I want more).
the scales/handles are what they call, Noryl GTX which is a fancy type of plastic and they do initially feel cheap
and sound cheap but they are NOT! they are strong and can take a beating, abuse; chemical, weather, dirt, all
kinds of nasty stuff that would worry me with other scales, so I like them (took a little bit).
you consider 60-70 u.s. dollars pricey? are you related to lame?(funny member here) :P I thought it was a bargin for what
you get and the lifetime warranty. If you want to know anything else just ask ;) :tu:

Whichdawg, thanks for the response. I really like the griptilians which is why I'd like to get one. Here in the great white north they run 100 for the mini and 114 for the full size, which is considerable compared to spyderco's and cold steel's. I might still get one though. Should have gotten one when our dollar was on par with the usd.
Post by: WhichDawg on December 15, 2008, 01:48:18 AM
I'd suggest to keep checking, in the next few weeks is the time for sales!
if I see any I'll let you know ;)
ohh and I'd stick with 154CM for now, D2 is sweet but harder to sharpen
and 154CM is a really good/easy to sharpen stainless! (cheaper too).
Post by: jzmtl on December 15, 2008, 02:11:19 AM
Post by: WhichDawg on December 15, 2008, 05:40:49 AM
I have D2 leek and feels it's no harder or easier to sharpen compare to 154CM.
most people I've talked to and read don't feel that way, including me!
it's a different metal and so it has different properties. a small percentage
don't have a problem with it (sharpening wise).
For someone who has little or no sharpening experience I recommend 154CM,
which more people find easier.

Just wobble in lately, not into folding knives this month but appreciate the beauty of your new folders!
I think I caught the SAK virus when we did our Manila meet I have been craving for one! No particular model yet but I need to just get my hands on one!
Glad to know everything worked out fine! :D Multitool.org is a Happy Magical Place! :D

It's a Gator knife by Gerber, Dave.
Oooh. I'm in a Gerber frame of mind these last few days...... I saw Gator on the sheath there, but I know nothing about Gerber knives. I only have a little Gerber knife that came as part of a gift set with a Suspension. I do quite like it actually.
I don't have many folders, but I'll do a pic whilst I'm waiting for some varnish to dry :D

The problem with knives is that apart from being highly addictive (which I'm finding out ::) ) is that they can cost so much and you can easily spend silly money on them. If I was to buy all the above new at UK prices that would be close to £1k. That's a ruddy lot for a handful of folders. :oNo kidding, just ask this guy with spikey hair how much he spent on his sebenza along, probably more than all my folders put together.

Nice collection Benner, the blade on that CS Med. Voyager Tanto ( that's a mouthful ) looks well used. The secoondary point looks to have completely worn away from repeated sharpenings, or did you remove it purposely?. I love that knive, I've edc mine for more than 10 years now.

I don't have any "quality" folders. About the closest I have are the 2 for the price of 1 Byrd knives I picked up earlier in the month. But in all honesty, they're good enough for my occasional use. I've found that I can't put the Meadowlark Rescue Blade down, it just feels "nice".

You know, that's a good question!
I would say, something that feels solid in the hand, not heavy, but you know it's there. A blade that opens and closes smoothly but with a reassuring snap as the lock engages. A blade made from decent steel that you know is strong and will retain it sharpness for when you need it.
Does that make sense?

Post by: Grant Lamontagne on January 30, 2009, 06:08:46 PM
(http://gallery.multitool.org/pbmirror/Knives/Group.jpg)
There's the group....
I believe this is the blue one that Ben was referring to- at least I hope so as it's the only blue one I have!
(http://gallery.multitool.org/pbmirror/Knives/BlueNative.jpg)
I shouldn't have to tell anyone that it's a rare Blue Native from Spyderco. The scales are blue g-10 and the blade is CPM 440, which was basically the first CPM knife steel. The lock is so smooth you can open and/or close the blade just by cycling it.
Up next we have an original CRKT M-16:
(http://gallery.multitool.org/pbmirror/Knives/CRKTM-16.jpg)
This knife is now designated the M16-12 and also has a flipper. This one was produced before the flippers came out, and before there were ten thousand and six different variants. How do I know? I bought it when it was released...
Next up is the CRKT KISS knife, designed by Ed Halligan:
(http://gallery.multitool.org/pbmirror/Knives/KISS.jpg)
Another great design, and one that's been beaten to death with a thousand variants. This one has seen better days- a "friend" tried to sharpen it for me once and i haven't been able to bring myself to carry or use it since. Again, another one I have owned since they first came out.
Then there's my Ladybug, which you've all seen recently:
(http://gallery.multitool.org/pbmirror/Knives/Ladybug.jpg)
And the Mini Dyad you've also seen recently:
(http://gallery.multitool.org/pbmirror/Knives/MiniDyad.jpg)
My CRKT Fulcrum Flame, also described at length in a recent thread:
(http://gallery.multitool.org/pbmirror/Flame_06.jpg)
This one is a knife kit from Linville Knife and Tool. It's a nice knife and for a mere $35, it is a good kit, but there were some problems with additional kits from Linville and so I never bothered to make any more.
(http://gallery.multitool.org/pbmirror/Knives/Linville006.jpg)
If you look real close you may be able to see some vague squiggly lines on the blade near the spine that is where I had "DEFENDER" engraved on it. It doesn't show up very well in pictures unfortunately as the blade steel refused to be engraved easily.
And last but certainly not least, my Benchmade Panther. I really didn't care for this one when it was current, but I had to buy it when I heard it was discontinued.
(http://gallery.multitool.org/pbmirror/Knives/Panther.jpg)
After carrying and using it for a while I fell madly in love with the subtle recurve and large cutout for the liner lock. This knife also has the type of sound associated with a no nonsense blade, which was amazing for what was effectively an entry level Benchmade. My first one was "borrowed" by another "friend" and I never saw it again. My second was the wrong blade style and so I got rid of it shortly after I got it, and this is my third, and it isn't going anywhere!
I think that's it for folders... if I find any more I'll add to the list!

Of course Tim Britton (a different Tim!) was going through some problems at that time, so it's possible that was a rare occurrence and it's probably quite safe to deal with them. For the low cost, it's worth a shot and BHC might have some fun helping you put it together!

Not sure which number that one is Def. There is a little custom job on the handle. Smoothed over the end because I like to pocket carry it for those romantic picnics. :D I also sanded off the original finish on the beechwood. They are great knives as long as I remember to give the blade a little cookin' oil after using or washing it.

Those opinel blade are almost zero grind, put a 40° edge on there it's a wicked cutter (it won't hold 30°, I tried).

Yeah but it isn't how big it is that matters, it's how you use it. Or so I'm told ;)
So that's basically a sword then Gareth?
I should have said the it is simply know as a Navaja, a traditional form of Spanish knife. Often associated with Gypsies, Bandits and the Sevillian region.
And no, it's not a sword but I might have a few of them too. :angel:

"navaja" really? then now i know from where the name comes, thats how we refer to SAK "navajas suizas" or just "navaja" to generic knives when theyre not for food preparing purposes
Post by: DaveK on February 19, 2009, 02:12:39 AM
Example (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NAVAJA-LEATHERMAN-WAVE-MULTIUSOS-FUNDA-CUCHILLO-ACERO_W0QQitemZ330308725026QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_186?hash=item330308725026&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A10|39%3A1|240%3A1318).
Post by: Gareth on February 19, 2009, 02:38:48 AM
I see that word (Navaja) all the time whilst trawling ebay for Leatherman gear. I'm embarrassed to say I thought it meant "new" or something.
Example (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NAVAJA-LEATHERMAN-WAVE-MULTIUSOS-FUNDA-CUCHILLO-ACERO_W0QQitemZ330308725026QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_186?hash=item330308725026&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A10|39%3A1|240%3A1318).
I think navaja has simply come to translate to "folding knife". So mine is just a traditional navaja. Just to add to the nerdiness I can tell you that the native American tribe know as the Navajo were called that by Spanish settlers and were dubbed "people of the knife" or Navajo.

PE for me, but like the look of that one. :)
How's the lock up?
Post by: DaveK on February 19, 2009, 11:59:32 PM
Absolutely no play at all. I'm impressed at the price.
In truth, it's a knife I probably won't use much as it's a bit big, but I wanted to try a Spyderco and see what the difference was compared to the Byrd series.
Tbh, I can probably stop looking since GG sent me that Mini Griptilian - it is absolutely perfect for me that one.

That is a very budget one though and IMO not the best example of a Spyderco. Go buy a few more and if you don't like them, send them my way. :D

I had the exact same problem with storm II, it's so hard to open and the thumbstud is so sharp I had to put a band aid on my thumb after a few hours of owning it. I grind down the ball bearing as well, not all the way down thou, still some bit left to keep blade in closed position. Alternatively you can take a hammer to tap the ball in further, which unfortunately I only learned after the fact.
Don't worry about grinding all the way down, the frame lock holds it in place. I tried flicking it open violently but it held in place.

Buzzbait I like that orange military. How do you like the pacific salt? How does the edge hold up? I've heard guys say that the more it's used the better the edge retention? I almost picked one up but ended up getting a endura and a delica.

Buzzbait I like that orange military. How do you like the pacific salt? How does the edge hold up? I've heard guys say that the more it's used the better the edge retention? I almost picked one up but ended up getting a endura and a delica.
The Pacific Salt is not bad so far. It's pretty new though. In it's early life, the H1 has definitely shown to be soft in comparison to something like the S30V on a Military. Also softer than an Endura or Delica in VG-10. The grind is about the same thickness as an Endura4, which is a bit thick for my tastes. I plan on thinning out the grind using my bench sander. I just got in the belt to do the job. Hopefully, the sanding will harden the H1 a bit more. I've also used Talonite quite extensively. I definitely prefer H1 over Talonite.
Post by: Benner on April 25, 2009, 12:17:58 PM
H1 does work harden.

No biting yet. I haven't used to very much, though, just to open up a DVD and a couple of other small things.

It features a liner lock, easy one handed opening, no blade play at all and one of the best features is just push on the thumb stud and out pops the blade. Keep the stud pushed in to slide one of the other 5 spares it came with back in for a replacement. Pocket clips are always nice as well. For me it means I will carry it.

Now I ask everyone with a Salt this :D, but do you have much vertical play in your lock?
honestly, mine came solid. no play whatsoever. hopefully this will continue to be so.

Mine clicks if I put a lot of pressure on the blade when doing a cut. Very annoying but not really a prob.

Great selection of knives there mate :tu:I favor the ones with pocket clips. I have been thinking of selling off my Benchmades. I only have 3 of them and 2 are a bit large. I like my Spidercos the best. The one Buck I have owned since the 1970s.

You could always have it as an emergency blade that you keep in your tank's glove compartment :P
I actually can't decide if I like it or not :think: Quite like the blade but really not sure about the handle.

But here's CATRA test result:

S90V 750
ZDP 189 750

As usual with you, an awesome collection, 2xTap.
Have you carried your Tuition and Needs Work enough to have an opinion of these knives?
Both appeal to me because of their utilitarian, non-threatening looks and strong looking blades.
Any preference between the two of them?
Thanks.

Post by: Sean on July 23, 2009, 01:55:51 AM
nice trio of knives there. with that blade shape on the crkt knife do you ever find the flipper in the opened position as pic'd ever gets in the way?

He's actually quoting 2xTap... they're 2xTap's knives.
And I believe the flipper double functions as a guard when deployed so... of course it would get in the way, I'd hope. =P
Post by: 2xTap on July 23, 2009, 05:49:29 AM
I haven't carried or used the Tuition.....it's a great design and I love the blade. It's just too damn small for me. They need to make this knife exactly as it is just bigger, about a 4 1/2" handle on it with a appropriately equal blade and it would be a superb EDC piece. As it is now I just have it for the collection.
Now the "Needs Work" is a good design as well. When I first got it I used it a bit but haven't carried it. I don't like A/O's as carry knives. The handle is positioned in such a way when the blade is opened that you get a real good angle......it's a excellent Utility knife. Takes a little getting used to as most knives position your hand in-line with the blade, this one angles but it works real well. A great slicer and excellent push cutter.

Thanks for the info, 2xTap.
Tuition appeals to me because lately I've been trying to get into smaller, lighter folders for urban EDC. Tuition seems like a great design with decent steel and Micarta grips for a very reasonable price.
Am really liking my Boker Trances with their 2.75 inch blades. Also like my KaBar Mini Dozier folder. Have been kind of wanting a Spydie Dragonfly, if I could get one with synthetic handles and a decent clip.
Didn't know the Needs Work was A.O. - which isn't something I really want. Can't Kershaw's A.O. be disabled without too much hassle?
.
Post by: 2xTap on July 23, 2009, 07:14:40 AM
Not sure how easy it is to render Kershaw's A/O system non-functional and not interfer with the function of the knife. Never tried it.

I've decided to pass on it, just don't like SS handle in general.
Still looking for something new that won't break the bank (exchange rate is ohh so nice right now :D). Wanted a BM barrage but my usual stores are all sold out, right now I have my eyes set on the new spyderco ZDP/FRN stretch that's coming out later this year.

But it's only a friction folder. I'd happily carry it as legally there is no argument with those. If it's not to be carried then there seems little point in having it as a friction folder and you may just as well get a locker (IMO).

I disagree (the agreement on knives lasted long Mike! :D). There is no way on earth anyone would regard that as a locker as it doesn't lock in any way possible. I could see a knife novice thinking a slippy was a locker as they kinda snap open, but a friction folder has none of that and even the greenest of coppers would see that.

The only reason (from what I have read) that the UKPK has caused "problems" is because the snap was regarded as being a locking device. The blade flopping around in a FF would show anyone that it doesn't lock.
You worry too much. :D

Probably the same here TBH. That, and the fact that when it come to slippies I prefer a more traditional, natural scaled one.

Could you post a few more pics of these two, please? I'd like to see what the blades look like on the NRA and WHL.
Thanks.

Have these already in the photobucket, if you want more detail let me know and I'll take some more at weekend
Very shiny and the sharpest blade I’ve had out the box, you can lather up and shave with it.

I like the Mini Dejavoo, its all Spyderco but without the ugliness :D Don't suppose they do a non-locking version?
Sadly I don't think BM comes out with a non locking one :(
I wish BM did what Spyderco did and produced some UK/Everywhere friendly knives...

IIRC, Chinook fits in Spyderco's highest ranking of blade and lock strength: MBC.
Below that are heavy, medium, and light duty rankings.
Cara Cara, for example, is ranked heavy duty.

If I had a Chinook, I'd use it all the time around the house and yard for the hard jobs. Should be able to handle whatever is asked of it with no problem.
I see the Chinook as sort of the ulitmate beater knife.

2xTap
Yep I love the blade shape, never had a wood scale knife so I went for that one. It does ride a bit low in pocket, so when I pull it out I need to shift it in hand before I can open it. There are a few points Buck cheaped out and quality suffered thou, like nylon washers and stamped out detent not ball bearing (yes I had it in parts within an hour of getting it).
Post by: 2xTap on August 04, 2009, 04:56:27 AM
Didn't notice the stamped out detent though, but for a $19.99 knife (mine) I can live with it.

I wouldn't sweat the synthetic bushings, my EDC locking folder (CRKT M16-04) has synth bushings and they're still going strong after over a decade of carry and thounsands of open and close actions on them. Not quite as smooth as phosphorous/bronze.....but they work well enough.

It's not that they don't last, but rather they compress, so the pressure from liner lock cause it hard to center the blade without tighten down the pivot. I had a flipper kershaw that has PB washer and I can get it to almost center and still flip out easily. But on the vantage the blade need to almost touch one liner in order for the flipper to work well.

I've noticed some compression on certain folders I have with synth bushings, but none of the issues you have just explained. My only complaint is with companies that decide to use synth bushings, but use ones that are overly thick and small in diameter. These allow too much "play" at the pivot.

That could be why. The nylon washers are pretty thick and small compare to the PB washers used in other knives. :(
After tinkering with it for some time I got it to almost center and open relatively easy.

Post by: ringzero on August 06, 2009, 03:28:18 AM
one thrown in for the hell of it of my current collection that with a bit of luck will change a bit tonite. will post the new arrivals later.
It's completely objective, as in beauty being in the eye of the beholder, but of all the knives pictured, the best looking one is probably the least expensive.
That Orange Zytel KaBar Dozier has classic, simple lines that I find really beautuful.
At less than 20 bucks these are hard to beat for EDC.
Very light clipped into your pocket, very sturdy, and very sharp out of the box - 15 degree edge bevel from the factory.

Post by: ringzero on August 06, 2009, 03:45:25 AM
My first buck knife, and it's my first wood handled folder too! Blade is hollow grind start from almost top, definitely more of a gentleman's folder, not a hard use knife.
(http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/9106/dscn2494.jpg)
Wowsers, jzmtl! That's a beautiful knife - love the blade shape and dymondwood scales. Better looking than the G10 and FRN versions.
IIRC, the Vantage series is made by Buck in the US - amazing that Buck can make them here and sell them at such low prices. Prices on these are competitive with made in Taiwan and made in China knives.

Post by: jzmtl on August 06, 2009, 04:02:59 AM
Yeah I think it's all made in u.s., that's one of the selling point of it.
Post by: ringzero on August 06, 2009, 04:18:13 AM
Thanks! I love that blade shape a lot too, it's more um, traditional, than my other knives. The high hollow grind is extremely thin, near the edge is only 0.017" thick. There are a few minus points, but after I tuned it the action is very smooth.
Yeah I think it's all made in u.s., that's one of the selling point of it.
After carrying a lot of knives with different grinds over the years, nowdays I actually prefer a high hollow ground blade for an EDC knife.
Not as tough as a flat grind for heavy use, but a hollow grind seems to cut a little better for me in typical EDC applications.

ok thanks just curious. been thinking I might get the d2 from w/w. seems like a pretty good price on a spydie discontinued knife compared to what they want for the s30v versions.
Wow it does eh? Lebaron wants $190 for regular version. If you don't mind the lock definitely pick one up, I would too if it's a liner or back lock.
Post by: tcolling on August 17, 2009, 02:40:34 AM
apparently on some of the pacific's the blade is profiled a bit differently near the handle than near the tip. So in my case I have one of those knives that half way up sharpens nicely but the other half will have to be re profiled so it will take an edge. the guys on the spydie forums were letting me know about it. even one of them offered to ship it to him and he would do the job for me which was really nice. I can get a lansky here for a pretty good price so I think I just might for special occasions when a blade needs something like this.
I have a Lansky set and it's GREAT for just this sort of application.

Post by: Sean on August 17, 2009, 07:49:55 AM
yeah they aren't cheap but I can get a para d2 for $109. the rest of those suckers are $180 in s30v.

Didn't get chance to do my own pics this evening (will do soon) but here is my latest;
The scales have been made by a guy called Ferrrk over on the USN out of Strider G-10 and he has done an amazing job. :tu:
Will do a bit more of a write up after a bit of a test (yes I will actually USE this knife. Damn shelf queen collectors :twak:) :D
Is that chisel or v grind, Mr. (http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/626/706angryninjasmileythrohj5.gif)? :D

benner,
way to go nice knife! :) Have you used it much? How do you like it so far?
sean
Only got it yesterday so it has only been tested really. Had to give it a damn good clean when it got here as the grease on the pivot was like sticky black tar and didn't open well at all. All sorted now and it opens very well and feels really nice in the hand.

It's a V grind blade but with a chisel ground edge. Will be interesting to see how I get on with it.

No, I gave it a quick going over with Farecla G3 cutting paste instead. It looks OK. :tu:
Post by: jzmtl on August 28, 2009, 11:00:44 PM
Notice how wide the secondary bevel I had to make in order to thin the edge for 30° angle. It's a very hefty knife, fills hand very nicely with solid grip. I don't think I can EDC it though, too much knife for that purpose. Notice the weird jimping, it's very sharp when pushed against, a little too sharp in fact and can be uncomfortable when pushed hard.

Turned out to be one of the sharpest I have, can slice cheap thin notebook papers both ways (if anyone else use paper to test sharpness, turn the paper 90° and try again, it's actually quite different). The secondary bevel you see is actually around 23°, not something I want to do again anytime soon!

I was wondering if anyone had a pic or two of the Tinker and Tinker (small) side by side
shots for comparison?
I was interested in the difference in blade lengths as well?
I only have a few Sak's and haven't carried one around for ages. Enjoyed today though.

I'd probably put a bit of cord through it and keep it clipped to a belt loop to keep it close to the outer edge of the pocket though. So long as the cord isn't too chunky it won't interfere with use either (I've just tried it) :tu:

So how many times have you cut yourself with it now?
None. I think.
I gave myself a fair whack on the knuckle when I first saw it last year, but I don't think it quite drew blood - it was far more painful than that :(.
But that was just being careless and absent minded. Now I can fairly casually flip it all sorts of ways and its second nature.

If you are exerting downward force on the blade, you are actually strengthening the locking mechanism.
Plus, it is uber cool and fun to play with, especially watching people who haven't used it before :D
It's damn good quality too of course.

To be honest, we were playing with it at the meet, and Nick and I think that it probably has the safest lock-up going.Kershaw does have good quality blades. I was thinking more along the lines of getting your finger in the way closing it with the toggle. What the h**l does uber mean? :think:

Thanks. Holding the knife blade up, the arrow points down. That's a 2008 I think?
If my chart is right then it could be 2007 :think: My arrow points up so acording to my chart I assumed it was 2008 :think: What did you use to date yours ? There used to be a page on the Buck website but its no longer there :(

in my opinion you'd be hard pressed to find better, all around, user friendly knives than Spyderco's.
When I buy other reputable brands such as Kershaw's, Cold Steel, Sog, CRKT all good companies that make fine
products I am reminded usually that the Spyderco knife is a step up for the most part in utility, form, function, and
quality. ;)
I've said it before you'd have to search around for a "Bad Spyderco." I'll get off the "box" now... sorry I'm a big fan. :D

Nice knives Prime, funny alot of people say that about spyderco's. You just have to handle one to love em. The hump puts people off at first but that and the effective jimping on almost all spydercos gives you confidence to use the knife hard.

A year or so ago I was interested in getting one. Lee Valley Tools carries one that's within an hour of me.
They are a really cool little edc/picnic knife. Apparently though you have to be careful when putting the
blade back in the handle as the edge does in most cases make contact with metal. Some of the guys on
blade forums have stuffed some sort of stripping into the bottom of the handle to prevent damage to the
blade and it seems to work.

The K500 is actually a proper knife, as opposed to being a gadget like the e306/7 which are unwieldy IMO. It's a much more comfortable knife than the Spydies I have for example.

The K500x does have a carabiner / bottle opener, but it totally disappears into the handle, unlike the others with more features. I.e. you can easily forget it's there. You can see in the following pic that the carabiner is well hidden and doesn't add any bulk:

Of course the blade on this baby is a hell of a lot bigger than the Skeletool too!

I had to wonder if the sage is meant to replace caly 3, given the rumor of caly 3 being discontinued.I'm not to sure. The Sage models are in recognition of different knifemaker's contribution to the knife industry. The Sage 1 is in recognition of knifemaker Michael Walker for his creation of the LinerLock and ball bearing detent method of locking. The Sage 2 is a tribute to Chris Reeve and features a integral lock.

It's quite smooth. If you want traction you'll be disappointed, I'd say it's about the same amount as the plastic shell on computer monitors. But I like it that way, consider this is a small light/medium duty knife, and the CF texture really shows up under light when the surface is smooth. If it wasn't pinned I'd take it apart and polish it.

With some knives reaching high "$" points lately I've been checking out and buying knives well under
the $100 mark and have not disappointed.

Although they aren't cheap cheap, they do offer great bang for the buck.
true enough.
Was wondering though... looking at the blade designs of the Voyager series when closed does the blade sit
above the zytel handle or does it actually rest on it?
Post by: Benner on November 05, 2009, 06:25:37 PM
I have managed to put a small groove in the zytel from playing ninja a bit too vigorously though. :D
Post by: Sean on November 05, 2009, 06:34:37 PM
It sits above.
I have managed to put a small groove in the zytel from playing ninja a bit too vigorously though. :D
that can happen I guess. :)
What keeps it above the handle? Is it the lockback bar shape or perhaps handle shape?
Looking at the blade it seems so flat all along it's length right from the pivot to
the tip.

The lockbar is shaped so it just misses it. Only just though I expect.
Ok thanks. I see my Outdoor Edge Field Lite is much the same and seems to just miss
it as well. I think the front part of the lock bar is shaped to help on it.

Yay Mini Grip :)
Nice pics.
All of the Grip and MiniGrip variations are simply awesome knives for what they cost, IMHO.
Benchmade's axis lock is one of the few locking systems that I trust as much as a well made lockback.

Get it you won't regret it. I carry my orange grip almost everyday. Smoothest opening knife I own.

How's it working out for you, John?
Good looking knife and looks to be very decent for the money.
Lately I'm really liking my folders that have flippers.
Easy opening of course, but I also really like the added safety provided by a flipper to prevent injury if the lock should ever fail. Also should prevent running your fingers onto the edge during a hard stab.

It works for me ;) I have filed the scales near the liner lock so I can use my thumb to open also :tu:
And if you look closely I filed the scales where there's jimping now it affords better grip IMO
But yeah the flipper is great if ever I need speed to open it lets hope I never have to :salute:

I like that knife John posted above. Someone else posted a knife pic not all that long ago of a new Gerber
coming out but cannot find it on the website. It had I think a bit of a reverse tanto shape.

Hope you never have to, but in an emergency it's very nice to have an easy opening knife. Once in the aftermath of a car crash, I was unable to open my Vic Tinker when I really needed a blade to cut a seat belt.
Besides the speed advantage, I find flipper knives very convenient to use with gloves.
When working out in the yard wearing heavy work gloves, I can just tap the flipper and flick my wrist to open the blade. Easier opening with gloves even than a Sypderco.

AHB looked into that and apparently they aren't either as you can still OH them.
Whats the true definition of OHO then, as you can open nearly any blade one handed, albeit a tad difficult on some but its possible... does it have to be one swift movement to be classed as OHO?

Those are pretty nice knives. I know several guys that have on clipped to their harnesses climbing at all times. They weigh so little, and cut pretty good. The OHO is kind of hard to do when you are new to the knife though, I thought. Hope you enjoy it :cheers:

Thanks! One thing to note is that only the serrations are sharp which I think is a good thing on this knife. I've been playing with this knife all night and I really love the design. I wouldn't mind having one in titanium, but heck this knife only cost $20 so I'm happy. :D

The UKPK is an awesome little knife. I have the black G10 version and its my office edc knife...no real need for a locker when riding a desk. Also the wire clip blends into just about whatever you wear so no one notices you even have a knife on you.
But couldn't you get away with a locker anyway? =P

I really like the UKPK. Maybe I should look into one ;)
But why not get a Caly3? Unless lockers are prohibited where you are of course.
I find it interesting that quite a few people would optionally carry a UKPK despite being able to carry whatever they wished. I guess it's because I have always seen it as a "make do" kind of a knife as here we have no choice.
Post by: Sean on December 14, 2009, 05:46:15 PM
with the UKPN and choice, but that's just personal, there is nothing wrong with a Caly.
I have enough lock back knives and the Ukpk offers a bit of a unique knife designed mostly for a specific
region, is a fine cutter, and comes if I remember in a few different colors.
I'm looking forward to taking another look at one next time I'm in town. :)

I really love your knives, and sure thing, that Sebbie is great, but to be honest: I like your Pride (it is a Pride, isn´t it) most. I just LOVE Spydercos little big knives, I have to get a Pride some time!

I've been after this knife for over two years and she is finally mine: :mail:

It's a Emerson Super Commander with custom grips by Larry Davidson. Here is a better picture of what the scale material looks like:
(http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p306/Smelp/wyrm_b.jpg)
Nice Super Commander GG. I remember when those grips first came out they cause quite a stir. I`ve had two of the original TAD Gear Super Commanders only have one now. I sold the satin finished one to my brother. What always impressed me about the Super over the regular Commander is that its blade length is only a 1/4 longer but its cutting power is substantially greater.

I think the main reason I didn't like it is because the front 20% of the blade was simply too thick. It wasn't a bad knife, just not something I would really edc. :tu:

Gareth have you got some more info on that knife please , looks interesting . Not sure about the self sharpening though :think:
Dunc
It's a CRKT Edgie, bought form the ever excellent HH. There's even a review of it on some silly tool site. ::)
http://www.multitool.org/knives/folding-knives/crkt-edgie.html
:D
Joking aside, and keeping in mind I only just got it, the self sharpener seems to work OK. It's obviously quite a 'toothy' edge but I quite like that sometimes. Also due to the fact it has a backspring to overcome it's quite tight to open OH, but still do-able.

The one I played with had a flipper, which I never really cared for before, but this was fun to play with......it was hard handing it back. The guy bought it to sell it, but now will never part with it.
I got really lucky and I just bought another brand new one for $385. That is the table price. :o :o

How do you like it Jie? I have one coming in from another trade.
So far it feels pretty good. It's heavier than I'd liked, but once in pocket it's not as apparent. The lock is quite difficult to disengage one handed due to lack of cutout. One thing to watch out for is the choil is so melted into the handle shape and feels like part of the contour, several times during reprofiling I had the urge to move my finger forward "into the choil", then it jumped at me "I am holding it by choil!". Without a finger guard it takes some getting used to.
I reprofiled mine to 20° with 30° microbevel, M4 is tough stuff to grind.

On topic: Mates, can anyone here help me out with a comparison pic of a BM Dejavoo vs the smaller Dejavoo? Or the smaller Dejavoo vs a Spyderco like the Tenacious, Manix2 or something like that? I´d love to get one of the two knives, but I´m not sure if the Dejavoo is too big for my EDC needs...
Thanks!

I much prefer the full flat-ground VG-10 blades on these as opposed to their earlier blades like on my other two. And I really like the new colors they have for them. Really livens up their line of E-4's. I really need to get some more, the Blue and Purple are next on my list. :tu:
Anyway, typical Spydie construction and finish. Can't find a fault with it.

Here's everything I could find. I know there are at least a few more in my toolbox at work:

Here are some group shots-
All my combination knife blade-utility blade knives:

All of my "old-fashioned" knives. Mostly slip-jointed, and mostly poor quality:
(http://i992.photobucket.com/albums/af41/joeykendrick1/Tools/Tools008.jpg)
Here is just a close-up of some assorted knives- basically most of the ones that are by name-brand companies from which I only have one knife:
(http://i992.photobucket.com/albums/af41/joeykendrick1/Tools/Tools006.jpg)
My former favorites- the SOG knives. I can't find my Topo Meridian anywhere though... :( :

My current favorites- my minuscule but rapidly growing collection of Gerber knives:

Model number tang stamps are usually found on the secondary blade. This one is 62109W. SS indicates Stainless Steel obviously. There are "CV" metal too.

Better made than the all plastic ones?
Much better made. Phosphor bronze bushings instead of nylon. Zero blade play in the lockup. Opens smoother. Better steel (obviously). The blade launcher thingy takes a little bit of getting used to, but once you do it opens quickly and with very nice balance.
I'd actually prefer the full FRN handles, though. This one has FRN handles with steel scales on the back half of the knife - it increases the weight without really doing much for the strength or the utility of the knife (unless you want to whack someone on the head with it in self defense as a non-lethal impact point). It's a pretty substantial weight difference as well - 22 grams (about .6 ounces) for the same blade size.

Quality on the Exskelibur is impeccable, I'd put it right up there with my best finished spydercos three times the price, sure blow the "Chinese junk" stereotype right out of the water.
3.5" of 440C blade, single anodized Ti liner, matching anodized Ti clip, contoured G10 handle.

Jz, Where do you usually get your Boker's from? Ebay?
I get them from either edcdepot.com, or caledon2 (who's really S&R knives in toronto) on ebay. The latter has 10% off pretty much all the time, so if by chance you catch them without wait a day or two.

Ha, I was just looking at that knife the day before! That's bigger than I thought too.
I've got a Perfecto, and Executive, and the Defender. The Exec is probably about the perfect size for me to just drop in a pocket and go all day. I thought the Defender would be about 3/4 the size that it is. Definitely a "carry in the country" knife...
Build quality is, of course, excellent, as are all the Paul knives. You couldn't ask for better. :tu:

If I had to pick only one it would the FRN UKPK as it is UK legal carry. Otherwise it would be up against the Leatherman k502 with its beautiful 154CM blade and handy bit driver :tu:
I really like the knife in the top left as well. It is a Dealextreme special, essential a copy of Kershaw's E.T knife. It has had a few owners and now it is with me, I like it :tu: It's really sharp and its unique opening and closing make it a joy to have :D And yes it has drawn blood from me at the beginning :-[ I have forgiven it though, it was my fault for playing with it while on the phone; duh!

It does have a pocket clip (ugly as sin, but functional) and a surprisingly well-machined version of Spyderco's compression lock. I don't own a K607 but I've handled and used one before.

Sorry for not replying sooner, I am on holiday, so I don't check the forums too often/well.
As Jekostas said, it is made/branded? by Navy and sold by Exduct.
I bought it to see what the pressure lock was.
Just like most of the newer Navy knives I have it feels quite well built, short and stubby but really solid. Feels like it would be usefull for cutting jobs requiring a lot of strength but not a long blade, like cutting thick rope.
Navy knives are not exactly cheap, compared to SRM knives but offer better steel. It looks quite "cool" but the pocket clip is really weird. I think I posted some pictures of it here but I do not remember where, or when. I have not used it to cut anything serious yet..

I had the other two brought to me now and the blue one is the looker of the lot. The white one is not bad looking either. I am using it as my regular knife (cuts sausage well), since the boker I was using broke its backspring. Pictures later, when I have use of faster internet and a better PC.

cheers gareth, im looing forward to the inox :D version ( i said version in a french acent :D ) ive been so impressed with these knives, and am so happy that 50-trad Al kindly sent me a #8 , even i can put a good edge on these and they hold a edge well, great in the kitchen as well as the garden :tu: and a bargain price that even i can afford :D ive used most of them so far other than the #2 as very ickle :o i can see why thet stopped making the #1 in 1932 as it must of been microscopic :o all in all a fantastic little knife, and as most said to me at some point, a must have even if you only get one :tu:

And an action shot (yes, I am a vegan... :D ):
(http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/jladks/toys/4f350b3f.jpg)
I have managed to leave the white one somewhere where we were having a barbecue, so until I get it back I can not take pictures of all 3 models together.
Also, here are some pictures of my Boker that had a spring break, for no apparent reason and was replaced by my white SRM as EDC. (I have also misplaced my 763...)
Left to dry with one blade open (cut an apple), and was like that in the morning

I will probably write to Boker about it, something I do not generally do (lazy), since this was a brand new, unused knife, used to cut up maybe a couple of apples and a pork chop, before it broke. I really could not believe that; it is Chinese not German made, but it is a Boker product.. Seems to be a problem with the steel.

Nice one on the SRMs dks :tu: Zed isn't the only one you got interested in these - I've now got all three winging (or limping) my way. Since I picked up the Byrd Wings I'm really getting into the OHO slippie thing, and I think all three of these including shipping cost less than what I paid for the Wings from a domestic supplier
I'd definitely speak to Boker about that spring failure though :salute:
They should give me a commission... :D
They should be a pleasure to have, I still think the blue one is the best looking; lets see what you think.
:drool: they are sweet dks :o now just need to make some money again :D :tu:Sell a bike :D??????
I also got this a few days ago, a Case Russlock, black bone scales.
When I ordered it I though it was a slipjoint, with the lip being used, like in a friction folder (Peasant knife), to keep it open, but it was actually a linerlock. It has quite a hard spring and I think it comes in a non locking version too....
The blade is not centred, maybe a design feature, because of the linerlock.

Yup, been a while since I bougt a new tactical piece. I actually collect these as well, and have a fairly large collection. Carry one as regularly as I do a slippie too. Been interested in these since I first saw them, the build on them is excellent. Might end up getting a few more of these Ultilitac II's.

I would suggest trying the paperstone versions too. Same (OK, similar) style, less weight, no metallic smell on hands

i was looking at the 112 version the other day but too be honest as these are not uk legal they dont get much action as i would like so ill stick to just these for now unless a paperstone one comes up cheap ::) :D :tu:

I would say that the AK47 has the most comfortable handle out of any folder I own. It just sinks into my hand perfectly, even with a reverse grip!

From the seller:
-Blade - Japanese YASUKI High-Carbon Steel.
-Hardness Rockwell C scale - 59-61.
This knife makes a Mora look complicated. We are talking SRM money here, for a Japanese traditional product.
8cm blade.
The grind is similar to the scandi grind, reasonably sharp and even on both sides.
This is one of the basic models; no fancy metal handles.

Comparison shot between the Tan coloured EL01 and the Black one. Note the different screw top used at the pivot.
(http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/jladks/toys/1ff0b15a.jpg)
The EL01 is sort of a classic....
The SRM was a replacement for the one I gave away.
The Ganzo is an automatic (smooth...) opening knife, 440C steel, has dark wood inserts in the handles and came quite sharp and with even grinds (some people have had problems with that).
The ELO5 has beautifully finished wooden handles and an unusually shaped blade.
On mine, however the linerlock barely engaged.
This is not a huge problem and by opening and shutting it a few times it is already getting better, though I may still use the file too.
(http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/jladks/toys/24cbc321.jpg)
This and the Ganzo are not really cheap, for Chinese, knives so this problem should not have existed.
Short fat blades comparison, for no real reason:

The new Voyagers! So how's the zytel to clip to pocket? Easy or stiff?
I've been looking forward to this knife, and I was chomping at the bit to get one. Let me tell you, that it did not disappoint! The handle material is actually Grivory, which according to CS is much stronger than Zytel. So far I haven't had any issues deploying from my pocket, comes out super smooth. :tu:

Post by: Sean on September 15, 2011, 02:22:10 AM
30 years or so, got it from a Pawn Shop near as he can remember. Anyhow, it's in pretty
good shape, needed a new bevel, some oil, a bit of a cleaning, and here I took a
few pictures of it.
It has 440 steel, and was made in France. I'm sure it wasn't all that expensive new or
anything of value, and I might have paid a bit too much for it, but I'm going to carrying it
around for awhile and put it to use. :)

from Asia and it has the look that perhaps it's not from France. :)

It says Klaas Messer stainless on the other side
possibly the same klaas that makes kissing crane knives.
It is a pretty decent made knife.

An interesting detail I never knew of...the lanyard staple can be slid into the handle when not in use.
I wouldn't mind a smaller version. Like the 110, it is designed as a stand-alone knife rather than a companion piece to their straight blades.

It is made by SRM.
I was pretty sure about that, but could not find the equivalent SRM model on Exduct, so I did not say it was an SRM 100%. The steel, on the CRKT site is given as 8Cr14MoV, though the leaflet that came with the knife called it just "premium steel".
It does feel a "click" better in quality than the SRM knives I have (which are fine), possibly because of what was requested by CRKT.
Gareth, these are designed to be given as advertising gifts, according to the CRKT site:

The model is the 707. The specifications are different by about .5mm in a few places (blade length, overall length), but the pivot is the same, the screws are the same, the thumbstud is the same, the jimping is the same, the liners are the same etc. My best guess is that the Drifter is a CRKT design, but SanRenMu modified it slightly to sell it for the Chinese market to differentiate it slightly.
The differences would likely be slightly better (and harder) steel on the Drifter, as well as the warranty. Lifetime from CRKT compared to 3 months from SanRenMu is a pretty big difference.

I like the new blade finish, sort of smooth stone wash. The handle though feels more like hard plastic than FRN, not sure if I like that. Given the relative "non-premium" material used and still comparably high price point, I may not get it if I were to choose again.
It's friggin light though compare to the original brick, and I love that.

to fair when the pivot is lubed with oil and stuff gets inside it how will it look? :think:
You know I wonder if that's the reason they didn't do the clear one. The blue is opaque enough that you can't see any gunk inside, but the clear would show everything, and you can't clean it since the entire knife is pinned.

I like that Emerson SARK. I've been tempted to grab it's cousin the Police model. :tu:The police model is pretty nice.
Just not exactly what you want when you're upside down in Lake Superior and caught up in rigging. ;)

...Couldn't agree more. How bad a knife could it really be? @ $0.96, when it gets dull throw it in the camping butterknife box.
Hey looks good for $0.96. I would buy about 10 at that price. :tu:
Oddly enough, it actually takes and keeps a pretty reasonable edge. The very narrow blade keeps it from being a daily-use slicer but it's not bad at all.

For the price, it's far better than 'not bad at all'. Great score!

In general, how is the quality on Coast knives?
Not bad, actually. Tekut is the OEM in China and they supply police forces. The steel is currently a 440A type.

Let's play a game! The game is, what North American brand knives are those OEMs for?
Top, Gerber Freeman
Middle, not sure but I think it's an old Boker Magnum Rescue model
Bottom is the somewhat rare (and short-lived) CRKT Blue Pointer
I guess Enlan is an OEM for Gerber. If that were true it would probably increase my respect for the latter.
Can you wave the SRM?

Can you wave the SRM?
The opening works very smoothly, so if you push hard on the flipper bit that sticks out from the top of the knife when it is closed it opens (the blade is held securely in the closed position) and locks open. If you add some wrist movement too, then it opens a bit faster, though it is not necessary.
It is quite smooth and looks good too. Lots of Wawwww factor.
The quality and movement is a step above the Enlan/Bee ones here.

I was looking at the Enlan site and remembered your comment:
We are the approved supplier of Gerber, and have processed or manufactured for American brands such as Buck and SOG

The blade is 2 3/8 inches long, the handle is 3 inches. On the blade are the words Imperal Ireland Stainless. The handle appears to be rosewood. The R logo is from Roberts Consolidated, a company that markets floor covering installation tools and supplies. the DE logo is a mystery.
I don't know much about knives and I have no idea about the quality of this knife, but its always fun to find a blade that you didn't remember you had.

These are becoming very hard to come by here in Australia, thanks to our Orwellian laws, so I've been grabbing them while they're available locally.
Top to bottom:
Junkyard Dog II
Turbulence
OSO Sweet
Volt II
Skyline

The Turbulence, OSO Sweet and Volt II are Speedsafe assisted, and with the flipper they open lighting fast :D
The JYD II and OSO Sweet are my favourites - and the nicest to hold. The Skyline is amazingly light.
I hope to add more to this collection as time goes by, but any local listings on eBay are already going for 2-3 times the RRP (MSRP)

My first venture into heavy duty folding knives, and with 4 mm VG10 blade, 5 mm Ti handle, weighting in at 7 oz/200 g, it sure feels like it. F&F isn't perfect if scrutinized, but for the material/price I certainly isn't complaining. Not sure if I'll carry it, it weights about twice as much as my usual choices.

Hmmm, I'd be inclined to totally drop the handle and cord-wrap the tang to make it a small fixed blade of sorts... Heck, it would even have a hole (pivot) to pass the cord through to stabilize the wrap! :think: Any beater Svord owners willing to part with one of theirs?

Its just a little shorter
I got it second hand, I didn't like the scales or finger choil the previous owner had made so I remade it
The cutting length is less than 3 inches now because of the Choil which makes it legal to carry in the UK (in theory)

Are you going to add to the patina or oil it now? You could try soaking the blade in vinegar overnight which would turn the blade a greyish colour :)

I have seen these before but never bothered to buy one, however today I gave them a try.
http://www.lidl.com.cy/cps/rde/xchg/lidl_cy/hs.xsl/index_29305.htm (http://www.lidl.com.cy/cps/rde/xchg/lidl_cy/hs.xsl/index_29305.htm)
I went for the wooden handled one. All were 3.99 Euro.
Quality is prety decent thought the SS steel is a mystery. A step below SRM and made in China. The wood feels like the one used on BEE/Enlan models.
Some minor dings on the wooden handle and the action is not perfectly smooth (not bad).
(http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/jladks/toys/3-IMG_2011_zps3e75ec6e.jpg)
(http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/jladks/toys/2-IMG_2009_zpsce74e811.jpg)
Safety: It has a backlock that locks the knife when closed, as well as when it is open. A bit hard and weird to open as you need two hands; one to press the button, the other to pull the blade up, trying not to block it with your first hand.
Looks quite nice and unusual.

GEC Bull Lock.
I really liked the Grizzly cut bone and the overall look of the knife. Despite knowing that I would probably not really use a knife like this (too big and heavy, not SS; I have a similar one I never used for sale here http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,46155.new.html#new ) I decided to buy it and try to use it.
It is the Tidioute version (they had the bone I wanted) so it is supposed to be used. The lock lever is loose, so that you can put your finger under it. Not too hard to open, no halfstop, looks sexy, backlock.

It feels and looks like a 111mm Victorinox single blade knife (e.g. cowboy)
Here is a comparison shot between the GEC a 111mm vic and a Case large sodbuster. The GEC is the heaviest but they feel and look similar. When I held the Bull Lock in my hand I felt like it was the Vic cowboy (inspired? :D :D )

and with a similar (23) two blade knife, from the Northfield knife (Polished slightly different blade, decorations)
The Tidioute one feels and is lighter and slimmer.

A nice 3 bladed knife with 'Silver Steel' and a little oval shape on the tang but I don't thinks its Taylor eye :think:
A nice pipe smokers knife in good condition made by Richards in Sheffield
An old pruning knife, marked 'Forged steel Foreign made'
which I think means 'made in Germany after the war'
All the blades have been broken on this one :o and the largest re-profiled as a wire stripper, the plastic 'jigged bone' looks like it has melted at the edges, Please don't ask me why I bought it :think:
It might say
Imperial
PAT NOs 2170537 2281782
A really nice knife made by William Rodgers, Sheffield
Horn scales, brass liners and 'I CUT MY WAY' stamped on the tang :)
as you can see its been looked after and sharpened a million times
Apart from the pipe smokers knife all the above blades have been sharpened until there's not much steel left, most are not ideal for pocket carry :) :-\ :(

I already have the single blade version and it is a solid product, cuts well and lasts.
They come with 10 spare blades and I am still on my 1st one.

Apart from having two locking (Backlock) blades it also locks the blades in the closed position, so you need to press the backlock lever to open the blades. This is an interesting safety feature (used in other LIDL knives too) but it means that you cannot open the blades with just one hand.
The single blade version does not have this extra safety feature.

When you get a good one from A. Wright they are very solid.
I gave one as present and is being used prety hard, with no problems.
I would assume the blade is Carbon too.
Yours, seems to be this model, in rosewood:

Whats the difference between the Cadet and Stockman?
In terms of a 303 Cadet vs. 303 Stockman? Absolutely nothing. Buck calls the 303 the Cadet, but it's a Stockman pattern, three blades. The same basic knife but made in China for Buck is known as the 373 Trio and is a nice little knife in its own right. The 301/371 Stockman is a considerably larger knife.

I did not want to get the Chinese one as I wanted the black composite handles.

So why do they both not have the same name? If they are exactly the same then why would they call them two different names.

I think it's this one
http://www.camillusknives.com/product/86798.0.0.0.0/18670/_/6.5%27%27_Folding_with_Marlin_Spike
I would like to know where you got it for 25$ though, Jekostas :angel:

Edit: Just as a bite size review:
-Blade has a liner lock, marlin spike has a back lock (released by the bail).
-No pocket clip (very true to a classic rigging knife), very, very thin profile.
-Scales are medium traction, radiused for comfort and secure even in wet hands.
-I guess my only real issue is that the fancy blade coating has a couple of uneven spots in it, but with VG-10 steel I'm not really concerned with corrosion anyways.
I have to say, Acme United did the brand right with this knife, and reviews on Camillus' current knife lineup seem to be pretty positive overall

Post by: Mr Biriyani on January 24, 2014, 04:55:13 PM
So I have had time to play with them a little bit.
It´s Inron my 803 framelock with 8Cr13Mov blade , Ganzo G717-y with a stonewashed blade and Ganzo G710 both with access-lock and 440c blades.
With this chinese knive it´s always a chance but all three are pretty good.
They are all sturdy,no bladeplay.All quite big.(the third picture showing a spyderco Endura for size comparrasing)
The Inron knive were much bigger than I thought (in a good way).
It´s really nice to play with my only concern is the angle that the tang meets the lock with. It seems like it could develop bladeplay with time but so far so good.
G717 was a nice surprice it locked up very well and have a nice color, very tight tolerences. The thumbnotch is a little hard to get to because it´s so close to the scales which are really really thick G10. And it has a flaw in the grind of the blade. Does´t affect the cuttingedge at all, but the looks.
G710 was the smoothest of them all from the beginning, pretty perfect.

Here is my growing group of knives including my cheap Laguiole and my Emerson Mini Commander. I only bought a few new the others I was given or bought previously owned. I haven't got into the world of expensive knives but I've had my eye on a Le Thier for a while and of course a Laguiole. I tend to carry my Leek or Opinel mostly when I do carry a knife. I find that my SAK covers me very well and usually bring a knife just because but seldom use it.

Thank you, I bought the top one Kershaw Tremor and the Kershaw RJMartin 6th one new. Then I got the Gerber Guardian 10th one ( green and black ), before I knew it I had a few more than I expected. I got the Spyderco Native and Delica so cheaply I had to buy them. I was given the Emerson as a gift as well as the Laguiole knock off. JD's pictures and the great review on the Cryo made me get it. I got the Gerber Gator 7th from top as a surprise with purchase from an fleabay seller. I never really intended to have this many especially since I mostly carry a SAK as my knife layer.
They arent highend but each one could be put into service and perform as needed.

You lucky dog, that's a sweet folder.
that's us mobile
Very 8)
I'm surprised you even went to bed. Some here would have played with it all night. :D
Oh my, thats a beauty! :tu:
That sure is one gorgeous knife Dmanuel.
Thank you guys, I was amazed when it got in. Pictures really don't quite show you the whole beauty to this.
Unfortunately I am afraid to carry it here because technically it's illegal (though its not enforced) and I'm afraid that a cop or security guard might decide he likes it too.

Well I'd put it on an alter and back light it personally :rofl:
Lol once I get back to the US I will be building something similar. Tired of just having blades in boxes, time to start showing them off!

Both are super light and slim and make great EDC blades.

Here is my Super Blue Delica and Stretch.
I just got the Stretch in the post and the Delica I have had for a few months.
I really like this steel a lot, it is easy to touch up and takes a great edge.
Once I flip the clip on the Stretch it will be ready to carry.

Nice. I like the looks of the Stretch, gonna have to look into one of those. My normal large Spyderco to carry is the Endura, but there's always room for another one..... :) Also nice to see a pic of a lefty-clipped Spydie that's not one of mine. A rather rare breed here...... ;)

I do like the Endura too but for whatever reason I have been carrying the Delica more often.(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/03/30/era8ysa9.jpg)

It is paired with a new styled Vic Soldier and with those two I can deal with most anything work throws at me.
It can be a bit difficult finding the perfect knife being a lefty but I still find it amazing that the Soldiers lock is left friendly and that plus serrations on the tip make it a good carry for me.

I do the same with the ones with a back lock. I hold it almost like I would for use, but depress the lock and fling it forward. It looks like its going to close on my pointer finger, but always gets stopped by that curved section under the blade. Be careful though as i'm not sure if you remember, but I got bit pretty bad from my Pacific Salt. Still have a huge scar and finally got feeling back in my finger after a year or so. :ahhh Ill try and dig up a picture to warn you. :DOhhh believe me, I remember that!! :ahhh :D

The small one, is being carried everyday, together with the ID-card it's hooked to - it's inconspicious, easy access, with a little training it can be opened one-handed and it's a helluva lot better at opening boxes and plastic packing than cheap utility blades.
The "big one" (blade is only 7 cm/2,7 inches) always follows me to work in my backpack, but only get time in my pocket when I know I'm going to need a reliable blade, that can take a beating and won't close on me.
And don't even begin to ask what makes they are; can't even remember where I got the small one and the "big one" is from a sporting-store, bought for about 175 dkk/32 usd. Nonetheless, the only thing about the knife that ever failed me, is the rubber pads on the side, that needs to be glued back in, from time to time.
EDIT: Sized the picture down, so it's actually viewable. :)

Well,it's going into today's pocket dump for testing.
In terms of fit and finish,its spot on the money. Scales are slightly nicer than the 373,though the back springs arn't as tight. I ordered this via Amazon,so for £14 delivered from China? Yeah,it's a winner. Basically a Buck for Rough Rider money.
Oh...before anyone jumps on this,the Ganzo us very similar to the 373,but it is NOT an exact clone :tu:

Hey, if they work for you then no-one here is going to knock them. Do they get sharp enough? Are they convenient and comfortable to use? Do they do everything you ask of them? If yes, then they are perfect knives. :tu:
Of course if the answer is no to any of those questions then you might want to hold on to your wallet. :D

Most stockmans seem similar anyway. It looks like the main blade shapes differ.

All three blades have different profiles to the Buck. I have photos,but I'm planning to do a mini review on the Ganzo
Is the Ganzo a three-spring knife as well? Buck Stockmen are a bit unusual in that respect in my experience......

Although I prefer an 8 or 9 for normal use these are pretty neat.
These are no. 10's, I would like to get one of the larger ones like a 13 just for fun. (http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/04/a6e3eqet.jpg)

The handles are aluminium, (higonokami style) and are a bit rough as I did not want to spend too much time making them look nice.
Ideally I would have used a piece og thick synthetic material. This is how most folding knives were made a few decades ago, using broken blades from imported small kitchen knives and a plastic or wooden handle (I only had some metal at the time)
Surprisingly solid and adjustable with a hammer and pliers.

Actually these higonokami folders are quite hard to open (unlike e.g. a Svord peasant knife). They are harder to open than most locking knives, so they are not likely to open accidentally.
You can also adjust the force required to open them by taping the pin with a hammer, to tighten the knife

It does lock, actually, it's a back lock, with the "button" all the way at the back (where you can see the spring sticking out). Most of Fontenille Pataud's knives lock, except the real original ones. They even have a one-hand-open Laguiole knives, like this:

I am allways amazed that 99.99% of the world manages fine with cheap, no-name knives... :D
Probably because most of the 99.99% of the world doesn't care about what kind of knife it is, as long as it gets the job done. And it's 'just a knife' so why spend a lot of money on it?
What you don't realize is, that like most fanatics, we only make up a very small percent of the user. Like car nuts, or stereo nuts, or techno nuts. Most people are happy with a Honda civic or Toyota Corolla because it gets them to work and back with no hassle. They don't need a Porsche or Ferrari, or even really want one. JUst like most people are happy with an off the shelf stereo from the store, instead of the hunt for the best components to put together. When you get past all the hype and happy horse hockey we build around them, a knife is just a piece of steel with a handle. Any 5 dollar serrated kitchen knife will process dinner, just as any Chinese pocket knife will cut that piece of rope, open a UPS box, or other mundane cutting job.
So they really don't care. We care because we're obsessed with the knife as a cult worship item. To the rest of the world, we're nuts.

Most people carrying pocket knives, and using them daily; older people mainly, just describe them as sharp ("it is really sharp") rather than knowing or caring about what specific steel composition it has and what animal the scales come from.
of course, they know how to keep their knife sharp.

The blade came nice and sharp out of the box. The whole knife is made of metal and had a nice weight to it. I also like the shape of that blade. Not bad for the money.

I'm not IN, but I'm pretty close to Sofia... BUT. I've never really been interested in .. knifey knives i.e. sth. different from MTs ... only now am I getting more interested in this very type of sharp stuff, lol, i.e. real knives.. which ... I should stop right now, but anyway. So yeah, I'd heard about them, but I didn't even know they were Bulgarian until recently :facepalm: Anyway, when I looked at them.... most look a tad old-fashioned, resembling some knives grandpas used to have here. I'm not into that type of carry yet :D Maybe some day... Also, they're a bit too expensive for what I see/like. I wouldn't give more than 80lv for anything (knife, flashlight, wallet..). It's just too much for me to spend on something... well, useless and only hobby-related :D

The blade usually has a forward cant.

After years of not having a pocket clip for this knife I finally ordered one. I wanted the older squared style, but was told they did not carry those anymore. To my surprise when it arrived it was the squared version. I also ordered the stainless version which is for the rescue knives, but I like how it looks on the Delica.Cap'n, if you don't mind me saying, you have the best collection of knives I've seen on this forum :salute:

I was slightly surprised by how small it is - about the same length as a Pioneer, but with a deeper blade.

Seems very nicely finished - the blade is well centred and very sharp with an OK grind (not identical both sides but not far off), opens smoothly and is getting better with use, though I need to practice opening with just my thumb. Locks up tight but easy to release.

The handle shape look very similar to a Sebenza.

I have two (a black one and a SS one, from SRM themselves, not the Eden ones) and I agree, very high value knives :) love to flick them although I do find it's rather bad for my nails :P

Got a Svord Mini Peasant in radioactive green yesterday. The handle was a bit rough and ready and the blade had an uneven edge but a quick scrape with a file and 20 minutes with a Lansky sorted that out, mostly. It's a bit long when folded but I'll stick it in my pocket for a few days and see if I get on with it.

I love the Mini Peasant so much! I would not particularly like to pocket carry one unless you could get it to carry vertical, but it has its time and place for sure.

From what I've read, it was to cut down on weight. I don't think it would really save all that much though. :think: It actually does held when cutting heavy cardboard though. It allows the blade to slide through easier. :tu:I know they're not all as nice as the BG knives, but cut them some slack!

No on both counts. It came in a standard cardboard box and there is no inlay. Maybe you got some sort of collectors edition!

I've got some of those cheap'n'cheerful knives mate and there all great knives. Out of those I do prefer the Douk Douk though :)
Sent from my K013 using Tapatalk
I'm really surprised how much I enjoyed using the Douk-Douk. I'd carried it a couple of times when I'd bought it without it making much if an impression. But this time round,I loved the super sharp edge to the blade,the ergonomics were far better than I'd expected.

They really are unbelievably thin and I love how stiff the spring is, which combined with the choil makes it pretty safe for a slippy :)

When I bought my Buck 110 it was mostly because it's one of those knives I feel everybody who's interested in folding knives should be familiar with. Historically important, and a pretty nice knife as well. :)
Pretty much why I wanted one, too. It feels so good to handle, I'll probably use it a good deal.

Buck 301 stockman, a large, solid stockman knife. Synthetic handles (from the picture) SS blade
still being made
you should be able to date it using the mark on the blade tang and this page:
http://pmphotography.com/Links/buck_knife_date_codes.htm
Must be pre-1974 where there are no markings on the tang other than BUCK 301 U.S.A
It has a nice audible *click* when blades are folded back

Why do I find stag and bone handles so appealing?
On some patterns of knives, natural materials just look right to me.
This USA Winchester didn't cost much, had lost its shield but IMO still looks great in that 20 year old burnt orange bone!!

Thanks David!! Yeah that old Sowbelly still has a lot of life in it. Tight and snappy. It was my first exposure to the pattern and it's pretty neat. I think Case makes a nice example in this pattern.

it is becoming very hard not to buy one, though i have no real use for it.....
I used the KUDU for rough work over at my FIL's farm...handled cutting boxes/hose/feed sacks and stripping wires etc, just fine. The ELAND is the legal limit for carry in Texas.
These are throw in the drawer/toolbox knives. A good value I think.

i do have a few Kudu - surprisingly light for its size. not the easiest to get sharp
The grinds were slightly off on mine but a couple of trips through a pull through sharpener fixed that and they took to the stone well.

Did you pick up that ontario emergency tool from the booty tony :drool:
Yes Mate :salute:
As I posted in the carboot thread its an Ontario Knife Company ASEK belt cutter (missing its original sheath)
I was very suprised to find it this morning :o and the green sheath came with it, nice sheath but a really bad fit for the ASEK :shrug:

i like the 2nd one, the stag handled one - real stag or bone/plastic?
looks german..
I haven't cleaned or had a good look at any of them yet
I think that one is plastic stag
and think I can read 'inox' on the tang so German is a good guess so far :tu:

These knives are awesome!!!!! At 4 1/2 inches closed, they are the size of a GEC #23 folding hunter!!!
Post by: pfrsantos on September 23, 2015, 05:37:12 PM
Got a small Browning Pursuit with Burl Wood bolsters. Had the same model with Sheep Horn bolsters but didn't like them. Very rough and with deep grooves in the center, extremely smooth and polished in the edges. If the finish were more similar all over, I'd gotten it.
http://www.browning.com/products/catalog/knives/detail.asp?fid=112G&cid=322&tid=835
Very light, opening and closing is very smooth, great backlock, very sharp. Is part of my EDC for 2 days, since I got it.

It seems Enlan knives we have access to in southern africa are slightly different.
It's all very confusing, some knives are identical to the international models, some slightly different.
Here's the Enlan BatHawk, Goshawk and Harrier. More pics later

The "Harrier" aka EL-04 is a wonderful knife; I agree its the best of the bunch.
You should look at the flipper EL-01 too. (Named Kestrel by the SA distributor)

:facepalm: Picking up the Kestrel on Friday, and I'll have a look at the Baza and the White Tail :facepalm:
BTW, any idea why we're getting these otherwise names and model numbers? ??? I had to google "Enlan EL01" to "Enlan EL55" trying to figure out the international model number and get specs.......still no luck with the Baza, and their website is pathetic.....
My Bat-hawk has a rough spot on the last (lower) section of the rounded rear of the tang, and I think the pivot is too tight.
Fortunately I count a machinist as one of my best friends and we're making tool for that pivot screw asap.

I will probably grab the Griffon next. Interesting in China they say it comes in 9CR that has a slight increase in edge retention over 8CR. But ours are printed 8.
I wonder if it's 240 per model or 240 in total?
My Kestrel is 148; Harrier is 46
Griffon is worthwhile for sure, noticed about the steel mix up, but hey...... :D
Are you seriously telling me there's variation in the numbers???? :rofl:
I was sure they meant 235 of 240000 :rofl:

....and soon there were seven >:D
I felt a bit better after checking 3 examples in another shop and they all had the rough spot just before it closes.
Good news is mine is already smoother.
Griffon and Goshawk have the best ergos, Harrier is the smoothest.
Nothing wrong with the Kestrel (flipper) either 8)

The grind was a mess just before the tip, the scratches are from fixing that.
the 8cr13 is ridiculously easy to sharpen...

Not every knife is a tool, unless you mean a tool of war. Designed after the Applegate–Fairbairn fighting knife... Now I have to put more effort into my knife fighting training :P
This knife opens very quickly with a combined flick of the wrist and a small push of the thumb. It also features a lock lock. No, that is not a typo it has a lock that locks the lock :tu:

The middle knife, the Goshawk with it's wave opener and (very) nice handle scales suffers from what I believe is called lockbar over travel.....?
The liner lock bar basically gets stuck between the tang and the opposite liner.
What I can't figure out is it happens when you open the knife slowly.....throw open the big blade with the thumb stud and the lock-up is good.
Question - will tightening the pivot help for that?

It can if the pivot is loose. But it also depends if the locking bar is short or how the tang is ground. If you could take a pic of it I could tell more. It is also possible the blade stop was ground a little small. Sometimes tightening up the handle screws along with the pivot helps. Lots of possibilities.

Thanks, I'll try to get some close up pics.
There's no side-to-side or up&down play on the blade, but of the 6 Enlans its by far the smoothest after cleaning/lube/play.
Not 100% sure, but it does seem like the blade is slightly over to the one side now.
BTW, it's also the thickest and heaviest blade of the lot, it kicks in your hand when you do a quick deploy 8)
Post by: SAK Guy on October 22, 2015, 03:30:14 PM
Good close ups SG. Its all your fault now :pok: as I'm off to the bay to look at Whalers. :D The 1/2 Jack is a real looker. I just gave my brother the full size Case Jack with yellow handles. :)
LOL!!! After seeing some beautiful Whalers over on BF, I've been looking for the "right" one for a while. The F&F and strong springs on that Jack are the closest thing to "GEC level" I've seen lately. That big yellow jack is on my list too....beautiful knife.

Enlans I can get here seem to be in 3 price ranges, yesterday at the gun shop I saw the Enlan Fox and couldn't resist....
It comes from the middle band, so it's the cheaper type that still comes in a tin instead of a small box.
It's a flipper with thumb studs both side, and it's a liner lock.
Good thing it has the thumb studs because no way no how will you ever get the knife open with the flipper.........so let's call it an integral guard rather :facepalm:
Blade steel is reported to be 8cr13mov, and it's the only (almost) mirror polished one I've seen so far.
Handle ergos excellent......
Out of the Enlans I got so far 2 stand out, and I can only recommend them: Enlan Harrier has an axis-lock, and it's also from the middle range price-wise.
The Enlan Coqui is from the smallest and cheapest range of "display knives", and a surprise winner. Nimble, handy little knife! 8)
Post by: SAK Guy on October 30, 2015, 02:01:55 PM
Schraade 858 Old Timer. :) Been after one one these off and on for years but they always seem to bring a premium price. Got this one at reasonable price.
Excellent score!!!!! :cheers: I am in the same boat, if one comes along at a good price I'll get it!!!
Post by: shark_za on October 30, 2015, 06:06:58 PM
2 stand out,
Enlan Harrier has an axis-lock,
The Enlan Coqui
GG is talking the truth!
I came to the exact same conclusion although I think the Kestrel is in the same league.
Harrier = EL04
Coqui = EM025
I took the clip off the little warncliffe and love it.

Only slight dissapointment so far is the last one I got, the Enlan Fox......sorry, no idea what the international model number is.
It's a linerlock with what looks like a flipper, but doesn't flip.
Deployment with the thumbstuds good as most....
Personally I think he hidden gems are the small ones, the Coqui and the Swainson.....

Same quality,nice knife but the first failure to launch.......that's not a flipper, at least the flipper doesn't work so they added thumb studs (I suspect)....

Slightly reshaped yes.

This morning I increased the drop a little more.

The handle has got a kind of organic shop worn look, like it's worn into that shape from extended use. Reminds me of the pics you see of old craftsman's hammers that have been used day in day out and have taken on the hand shape of their owner

Looking good Zoidie :tu: I do like what you've done at the choil BTW :cheers:

Thanks.
I forgot to mention that this second version of the choil doesn't lock up solid.
Tip travel is less than a cm.
I knew it would happen but still went with the change.
Not a problem for how I use the knife but it might be an issue for blade pushers.
I just chipped at the handle until it fitted nicely into my palm, then a quick sand and wax.
Totally smells better now too.

That's a sweet 110 and BG-42!
Thanks David.
Buck has stated this is the last knives they will make with the BG-42.Their supply of this steel is exhausted and they will not order any more.This fact and the options on this knife prompted me to buy it.
It has a drop point blade,mirror polished nickel silver bolsters,nickel silver pins,charcoal scales and a nicely made distressed black leather sheath.
Altogether a very eye appealing package.

The standard buck 110 has a lot of brass parts on the handle, which means that every time you use it your hands get a strong metallic smell. Other metals do not do that so easily, so based on your picture I expect that the custom model will not have this problem.

I've never been aware of such a phenomenon.Perhaps it could be your own biochemistry that creates such a reaction.
In any event,I protect all of my knives with a good coat of wax.This slows down the abrasion that naturally occurs while inserting or withdrawing the knife from your pocket or sheath.

Looks pretty close to the Rat 1 to me but perhaps they copied the PM2. What came out first the Rat I or the PM2 ?
Don't know which one came out first.
If you look at the Rat it is much more round on the corners. Especially where the tang is. No finger choil like the PM2. Lanyard hole and sharper edges on the back match the PM2 as well. Same screw placement as the PM2.

Could actually be a great knife but I would not touch it out of loyalty

A Spyderco PM2 in Axis lock format. :facepalm:
Could actually be a great knife but I would not touch it out of loyalty
Well Spyderco already has a couple of locks almost tte same as the Axis. The Manix 2 BBL and the Sage Bolt Action lock. They could always change up the PM 2 with a different lock.
Just dont see this happening. I prefer the Bolt Action lock but most folks I think are bigger fans of the Compression lock.
Post by: dks on January 27, 2016, 07:28:52 AM
Really, I just got it for the colour and the price.
The springs on the lock are beefier than in the SRM 762, which I have been using for several years.
I have been eyeing up a spydeco manix but the total cost to me will be about 10 times as much as the Ganzo and I just will never use anything with such a large blade, as if I need something this big I just carry/use a fixed blade (e.g. Mora).
I have several Ganzo knives (bought years ago) and various other brands (CS, Buck, RR, Vic, Wenger, etc.) with similar size blades and never use them for anything. The SRM 762 is big enough and light.
I will try and use the new ganzo, so that i can give people some feedback.

Others do not have to feel the same :D :D :D :D
It does look like 3 other knives but it does not claim to be any of them, so as to fool me.
Lets not forget that Buck 110, Schrade LB7, Case xx 00177 coexist, as they are made by major companies of the same country.

My personal ethics scale, on wrong, has to do with murdering lots of innocent people, so as to take their land or their oil/resources, using them as slaves, forcing nations to accept what the stronger nation wants, instigating wars for personal or national gain, supplying arms to factions and then pretending you do no know how they got there, manipulating world organisations so as to support you by using your power rather than what is right, stealing from nations and bragging about it, coming to different decisions on similar matters, depending on whom you are judging, expecting all nations and people to agree with your point or view and your actions and being shocked when they do not, forcing you to make them agree, turning a blind eye to environmental destruction or claiming that there is one when there isn't, assuming that your nation's law and ethics are universal, world domination and so on....

I agree with you, and......
I can afford the Ganzo, I could (most likely) never justify the price of a PM2 after the exchange rate gets done with me.
I do feel it's unfair towards the Spyderco/Benchmade & Co, they make great products and deserve the profits they make, it's not their fault the international playing field is uneven.
In that sense I'm just thankful to have the Ganzos (more Enlan in my case) of this world.

+1 on that.
I abhor Spyderco knock-offs, but this doesn't claim to be a Spyderco... if you know anything about Spyderco you can see quite easily it cannot be confused with a Spyderco.
That said, I'm not a Ganzo fan (do prefer Sanrenmus and Tekut) and I'd buy a real Spydie instead (a Tenacious or a Byrd should cost close to a Ganzo) but it really doesn't bother me one bit.
PS: dks the Buck 110 comparison is uncanny...

Looks pretty close to the Rat 1 to me but perhaps they copied the PM2. What came out first the Rat I or the PM2 ?
Don't know which one came out first.
If you look at the Rat it is much more round on the corners. Especially where the tang is. No finger choil like the PM2. Lanyard hole and sharper edges on the back match the PM2 as well. Same screw placement as the PM2.

Masters of Defense "Trident" designed by Chief Jim Watson,veteran Navy Seal,who had 16 combat decorations,including 4 bronze stars with the Combat V for valor. Most people know him as Dick Marcinko's point man Patches in the Rogue Warrior series. Watson, a Team 2 plank owner, has authored two books on his days as a SEAL, Point Man and Walking Point, both published by William Morrow.When Jim ray wanted a hard-use knife that would meet the needs of these spec op's warriors,Jim Watson was a natural choice. Most of the so called SEAL knives out there today never had the input of a SEAL in their construction and wouldn't hold up if a special forces operator actually had to use one. Jim Watson designed this knife as a user who has actually been there and done it.

It worked well but it wouldn't have been my first choice but it was all I had when I visited the farm.It's a little small for my hands.
It's a Buck 598 folding skinning knife with a liner lock and an S30V blade.

A lesser known maker J M Schmid & Sons from Providence RI, 2 blade congress knife with tooled bolsters and cocobolo or ebony scales.
A Robeson Shuredge 2 blade jack with some good age and healthy blades, not sure if the scales are cocobolo, ebony or synthetic.

Why would you have left those ones behind?

PD,
No3 seems to be of soft steel looking at the damage on the blade, not sure where it was made yet, if English or German it might be OK :shrug:
No5, I like the look of the fisherman knife but try not to buy older Chinese knives as they are normally rubbish.... need to clean them up so I can report back :tu:

The blade and clip was switched over from the all black, frame lock model ( 1660 CKT)
The final product weighs 2.4 oz instead of the 3.0 oz 1660 CKT
It's a light duty knife, why not make it lightweight, as well?

...was this, CRKT Folding Razel:
(http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx12/CaineKitty/Forum/DSCN0143.jpg)
It has nice sturdy blade:
(http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx12/CaineKitty/Forum/DSCN0147.jpg)
Quite good sized folder (Blade 8.5cm and overall length 20cm):
(http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx12/CaineKitty/Forum/DSCN0148.jpg)
The liner lock seems sturdy and works well. Also showing the pocket clip which allows nice deep pocket carry:
(http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx12/CaineKitty/Forum/DSCN0156.jpg)
Top view showing the LAWKS safety lock lever:
(http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx12/CaineKitty/Forum/DSCN0152.jpg)
I have been :drool: after this knife for a while now (everyone know I'm a sucker for quirky tools ;)) so when I found it on eBay for 30 euros /w postage, I immediatelly pulled the trigger. Haven't had chance to use it much yet, but I'm sure it will deliver without problems.

The shiny one is a ‘Girl Guides’ knife, brass scales
The pruning knife was made in Sheffield, has plastic scales and is roughly put together... might be a one day project

Respect the knives, they're not toys (despite how we talk of them). Learn how to use them and they will serve you well for years to come.

Almost the same charm as the classic Buck 110 without the weight, I really love the 110 eco as a user. The edge geometry is not just sales pitch, it's easy to sharpen and keep that way and edge holding is like other cheap stainless (AUS8, 8Cr13, etc)

Italian Old Bear, has locking system similar to the opinel, but, instead of the whole collar moving you just move a lever, locks open or closed, about 20Euro
and,
French Nontron 12 knife, has a collar like the opinel but only locks open, not closed, about 60+ Euro (cheaper, by alot, online), makes the opinel look like a bargain, but they are supposed to be hand made
shown with an opinel No9

First up is an old navaja style knife I acquired from a friend whose dad was an antiques dealer.It is made of cast metal(not sharp)and I'm a bit unclear as to what it's original purpose was.Makes an interesting display though.
Next is a couple of large stiletto type knives(non-automatic).One has a spear point blade and the other more modern one a clip point.The first has horn handles while the second is plastic.
Last is a large 3 blade folder(outboard two blades lock open)made in China fairly recently I would guess. I bought it at a pawn shop for $6 only because the size was so outrageous.
Post by: Ray S on August 16, 2016, 06:36:14 AM
First is a large horn handled knife made in Frosolone Italy probably around 1900 or so.Nicely made w/brass bolsters the blade is concave ground w/a long false edge.
Second is a large balisong made by Taylor-Seto Japan;the largest balisong I own.Solid brass sides it is a handful.
Third is an unusual old Colonial folding hunter with a cleaver blade as the secondary.A totally useless knife if you are trying to use just the clip blade;there is no way to grasp the handle with the cleaver blade closed.Guess they didn't sell too many of those.
Last is a huge pruning knife marked Hoffritz Italy.I'd hate to get cut with that one!
Post by: Ray S on August 16, 2016, 06:42:06 AM
First up is a huge stiletto marked Rostfrei and probably made by Campolin.
Second is an automatic stiletto I got in high school circa 1960.Traded it for some pinstriping on a car dashboard.
Third is a group of three large navajas;the bottom one is mid 19th century.
Last is a recent manufacture Pakistani congress pattern;one of the biggest folders I've seen.Closed it is a foot long!

That Lakota is really nice;and rare too. I haven't seen one of those for about 30 years. They weren't very popular when first introduced because they were kind of "out there' looking;which is why I liked them.
Feels good in the hand, and very solidly made. Heard they were a popular police knife at one time.

Some of my larger folders. Wenger Rangers are probably the longest.
Boker, Western, Lakota.
Another fan of Wengers and gigantic folders... :D

Despite being UK legal, its no good for pocket carry (as you'll cut your fingers off :D ) but I might carry it in a bag perhaps, maybe. I think mostly it'll be a desk resident for playing with.
It's so cute :D

Awesome collection Dave!!! :cheers:
I honestly wouldn't call that a collection - it's more of a bunch of random acquisitions lol. Most have been picked up in trades and only a handful are legal EDC here so I'm thinking of offloading a few and getting a few slip-joints / friction folders to replace them. Just keep the "nice" ones and curios that lock (like the Kershaw E.T. for example).

Found this one today at the local flea market:a Western Boulder Colorado 2 blade folding hunter.Bone scales;match striker nail marks;little blade loss;nice and tight. $25.
Awesome score on that 62 Ray and for a good price. :tu: Great condition and matchstriker pulls. I've been after one of those for some time. They bring more than I really want to spend on the bay. :)

Well, I found it, yesterday. Everything is the same, apart from the lack of number below the cat. If the number was not stamped, then it's gone, as the knife is totally devoid of paint and in need of a cleaning.Going to have a root through my drawers and see if I can dig it out. Hope I didn't give it away.(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy104/kirk130013/kirk130013044/image.jpg8_zpselvmyxo8.jpg) (http://s782.photobucket.com/user/kirk130013/media/kirk130013044/image.jpg8_zpselvmyxo8.jpg.html)The second one. What is it? I think I have one knocking about, from yonks ago. Could be 30+ years ago.

This is about as modern as a knife get for me.
The Fallkniven PC is a liner lock & weighs 2.3 oz. and is 3.875 long closed. It uses Lam.CoS steel, it has a COS-3 cobalt center with an outer layer of 420J2. It'll hold an edge almost for ever. I work the smurf out of the Fallkniven PC on the boat all season and never worry about having to sharpen it. It's a good apple slicer to boot.

These are all in two plastic containers near me, so that I can choose which one to take for the day.
Some are used more often than others

My favorite "Sunday" knife: A liner lock custom by Jason Williams of Wyoming Rhode Island. This was Jason's 14th knife and made when he was just 19 years old. I bought it about 30 years ago and have treasured it ever since. Jason now specializes in high end automatic knives and is credited with designing the Axis Lock. Both he and his stepfather Bill McHenry are still very active in knifemaking.
What a beaut........ :tu:
I'm busy with my 14th knife..........its nowhere near that good :salute:

Another mouth-watering selection from your........"accumulation" :tu:
Looking at your military knives in the other thread I felt a bit sickened by my own collection - might be good knives but I don't use them, and never in a 100 years will they have the historic and/or artistic value of most in your collection. :salute:

Hi Ray

Again many thanks for the kind words Gerhard. I would say that you should be proud of your collection as they are a part of who you are. I have been accumulating knives for over 60 years now so I probably have a bit of a head start on you.When I started my first knife(which I still have)was a hunting knife that I bought (with my grandfather's permission of course)for the sum of 98 cents.I really had no use for a hunting knife but wanted one anyway which is probably why it survived in such great condition.
Later on I got my first automatic knife(they were still legal in the USA at the time)and that started me on those. I didn't need one but I liked them.Then came stag handled knives and then pearls and it just kind of snowballed from there.
Today as I approach my 73rd birthday I have more or less stopped accumulating knives and am having thoughts of dispensing with a lot of them. Money is usually reserved for more important things like eating and keeping a roof over our heads(lol) and I really don't need a roomful of knives. I still enjoy researching them and likely always will. To me a knife doesn't have to be valuable(although if it is all the better)but rather be unique in some respect.I enjoy knives that don't appear to be knives;miniature knives;old knives;etcetera. What I really enjoy is if a knife has a story behind it.I look at a knife that is over a hundred years old and imagine what this knife has experienced and what stories it could relate.
Probably my favorite knife in that respect is a Persian jambiya that was given to me by a good friend(who has since passed)that was found to be over 350 years old! How did that one ever survive and what stories could it tell? The mind boggles at the thought!.
Anyway I am glad you are enjoying the posts my friend.

Hi Ray
I don't mean to be a killjoy moaning about my collection, it's more a case of buyers remorse now that I need the money for tools so I can make more knives. :rofl:
I have no doubt that my collection with change and grow, but what you mention in the quote is exactly what I appreciate about your collection :tu:
I've always appreciated antiques of all sorts, I'm an admitted steel snob, but I think your photos have changed what I'll collect in futute :salute:

I prefer to keep all of my knives in wooden boxes(old machinists' tool boxes mostly)that have cloth liners in the slots and a dessicant bag or two to dispel moisture.
That said here are my three latest acquisitions:
A Buck Whittaker 777T that features a built-in flashlight(that needs batteries which will probably cost more than I paid for the knife).
A Bushmaster 5971S that I bought because I don't have any knives of that particular make.
A Guidesman 23 in 1 multi-tool new in package.I already have one but they seem to be very well made for Pacific Rim knives and the price was right.
Paid $5 each for the three knives.

Nice assemblage Peacent! What is the case made of? If it is a thermoplastic I would keep an eye on it to make sure that it doesn't react unfavorably with some of the knife handles.Thermoplastics when new have a tendency to out-gas;especially in the presence of sunlight and heat and will give off solvents that sometimes are harmful to knife handles and occasionally steel.What kind of batteries does it take, I just replaced mine on a smaller version and bought a large pack, if there the same I will send you a set.

My first order from Multitool.org Store arrived! :ahhh
Can you guess what's inside? ;) :

LM Crater C33TX!:
(http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx12/CaineKitty/Forum/20170327_191655.jpg)
I've really been wishing to get a C33B, but since it's discontinued, I went for this model:
(http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx12/CaineKitty/Forum/20170327_191842.jpg)
It's a nice little knife, I like how it looks:
(http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx12/CaineKitty/Forum/20170327_191931.jpg)
The blade is combo variety (maybe not the optimal choice, but oh well), nice and sharp out of the box:
(http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx12/CaineKitty/Forum/20170327_192015.jpg)
The rest, pocket clip, flat screwdriver and philips screwdriver (I forgot the carabiner out of the photo :facepalm: ):
(http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx12/CaineKitty/Forum/20170327_192115.jpg)
Easy to open and close one handed even with the shovels I have for hands :ahhh
Thanks to Grant and MTO Store! :salute: :tu:

that's the steel, like this Ganzo below that I'm carrying today and modding to make it "waveable". Steel is so soft and easy to work with using the Dremel
maybe I'll "wave" the Byrd too
(https://i.imgur.com/Rcf8ouq.jpg)
until very recently all Byrds were 8Cr13MoV but now Spyderco has started using CTS-BD1 on them too

Good thing that Spyderco is yellow, the way you keep dropping it in the leaves like that. Otherwise, you might lose it.

Good thing you don't have just a little bit of snow mixed in with the leaves. That knife would just disappear into the background. :)

The C3 and C4 are incredible Spydercos, most collectors agree in that they've been much overlooked among other Spydies. :o They have one of the most useful blade shapes, lighter weight and thinner profile, and the thickness of their blades is absolutely slicey and small compared to most other OHO folders, even among the Spyderco models themselves :tu:
They all say they cut like the Dickens, and that's not a small thing to say when matching against SPyderco's flagship models

The blade on the Centofante is thinner than the blade on a 93mm Vic. It´s a slicer indeed. The one thing the Centofante misses is a grippy handle.

I only know about it from a video I watched. Liked it did a search and happened to find one.
Lots of knives by Explorer, Parker, G96, Valor and others came out of Japan in the 80’s-90’s.
This is 440c, micarta, scales,nickel silver bolsters.
It holds nicely and I find it cool.
Maybe a bit Al Mar looking?

Digging in an old chest that’s not been opened for a few decades, found this old, well-used no-name slippy. Needed some TLC, front pivot had opened up because the wood had shrunken so needed peening. After polish, sharpen and oil, all good again. :cheers:That's a lovely looking folder :like:

Someday I'll get a ZT :facepalm:Well, if/when you do, don't pop it. Use Clearasil, soap and let it dry on its own.

It's no Benchmade, but for $15-20, it's good when I don't want to carry my Benchmade for fear of loss or damage (aka yard work, working around morons). I took out the assist spring, as I was afraid it would open in my pocket at the time. With the flipper tab, it won't open all the way with the spring taken out, but a wrist flick will do it. Been meaning to put the spring back in. Misplaced it, found it, misplaced it again.
Steel is pretty decent, and actually seems better than the soft stuff in the Tradesman fixed blade. It's held the edge I put on it. Would I have bought it new? No, I didn't--it came in a used lot. Would I buy another one---yes, in a heartbeat. It's one of my budget favorites.
Room for improvement in the design--a thumb stud/slot/hole would be nice, and for the knife to be able to be smoothly opened with the flipper or a thumb stud without the need for an assist spring.
