/kg/ knife general:The sharpest thread on /k/Is it possible to sharpen the Benchmade SOCP dagger? Or is it too thick of a profile?
You can sharpen anything if you're determined enough. Sharpening daggers is a bitch though. Literally twice the work of a single edge.
the garrote thread made me want a boot knife.wish I could legally have automatic OTFs and gravity knives here.any thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
>>61862990will take into consideration. I'm very pleased with the Spyderco Sharpmaker, it made all my knives shaving sharp. I'm going into unfamiliar territory using it freehand on this thiccboi.I'm content to go little by little as I did with my now scary sharp Military, but also content to have it be dull-edged. You can't get duller than how it came. I fear I've rounded the tip just a little bit through just a few mistakes sharpening. The edges are sharper than they were. I'm not about to break out the diamond stones, I'm fine with (sic) chipping away at it.
I have the SOCP dagger and I sharpened it. It’s very fat and was hard to do tho.
>>61863524thanks.
>>61863051i have a sharpmaker but i feel it's very hard and time consuming to use it for anything that isn't just a touch up of a still sharpish blade
kunai never do anything
>>61862975>one liner knife threadNo I'm good thanksI'll wait for someone to put some effort into a knife thread and post in that one.
>>61867976this. I like the Sharpmaker, it's very beginner-friendly, it can sharpen many things, it easily packs up to store in a drawer or with your outdoor gear or whatever else. But both grades of stones that it comes with are quite fine, which means it sucks for a knife that's very dull or has a garbage edge from the factory.
>>61862975What knife Is good for everyday carry?I need something to defend myself from feral niggers and I can't walk around with a gun.
>>61863051>>61867976>>61868023Yeah if you need to re-profile or sharpen an extremely dull or damaged edge, you need the diamond or CBN stones or you'll be sitting there forever. A cheap stopgap is to binder clip some coarse sandpaper around the stones and strop up instead of cutting down.>>61868124What's your budget?
>>61868136I am POOR, but not that poor. I can spend some money If It means I'm not getting mauled to death.
>>61868124what are your laws regarding knife carry? it's important to know so we can give you a good recommendation
>>61868346I live In a socialist shithole, It's basically illegal to defend yourself against criminals here (If you get caught that Is) I just want something to put a distance between me and the agressor so I can run, or even defend myself If the situation gets tricky.
>>61868147Any relatively "name-brand" dagger that's not some QXBANGBUY Amazon chinkshit will probably be fine just for jamming into something that's attacking you.
>>61862975It's a little daggery thing, so the angle of the very edge doesn't matter a whole lot. Not like you're going to be slicing carrots with it.
>>61862975>posts bitchmade as OPOh how KG has fallen
>>61863044You're never getting to a boot if garroted. You might* get to a fixed blade on your belt before you lose consciousness, but even that is unlikley.
>>61868124Do you have size restraints?
>>61868124I bought a coldsteel kobun and love it
Bump
>>61862975>>61863524I'm sure you're aware as the reply stated it's not meant for that and it's a pokiboi not a cutter. If you ever get the chance to jam it into someone just pull down with all your force im sure it'll cut something. But it's made to prison shank and stab multiple times (aka stabs are worse than cuts)
>>61872084No shit genius
>>61872084I got it a little bit sharper than it came and with a little attention on the tip, I think that's as sticky pointy as it came again. I can cut paper, not shave hair at all, with the edge (very carefully) now. So, it's functionally better. As a sharpening n00b, I get a little afraid of getting carried away and fucking it all up. It's hard to know just how sharp it could get with how thick it is, but also, my other knives needed more time sharpening than the I've given the socp and started out sharper. IDK what the exact motivations are behind the dull edge whether it be safety for the user in a scuffle, legality, if it's moot because it can't really be sharpened anyway, etc. "It's meant for stabbing" which many say isn't the best explanation because if you can have sharp edges, why not?I appreciate the knife discussion. Sometimes, there are details and questions I have that aren't covered anywhere on the internet.
hello anons, I recently was gifted this old knife, I can't find any markings on it at all to tell me who made it or what kind of steel it is but I can't get the damn thing to take an edge. anyone got any ideas. pics will be related. even just what kind of steel it might be would help. I've got nothing to go on.
>>61872213It looks like it could be a custom knife. The edge looks rough, what are you using to sharpen?
>>61872213It's Damascus, but that doesn't really help.
>>61869997What's a good brand for daggers?>>61870790There's restraints for everything, kek. Like I said, just don't get caught with It.>>61870796I see, the grip looks a bit weird though.
>>61872213
>>61872232just a regular whet stone or how ever it's spelt. I tried one of those stupid ceramic kitchen knife sharpeners as well. if it is Damascus as other anon said is there a certain type of sharpener I should get?
>>61872302>Damascus as other anon said is there a certain type of sharpener I should get?that doesn't matter, damascus just means two types of steel mixed together in a visually apparent way. It looks like a quality knife. Sharpening's a bitch. I learned in boy scouts to use a whet stone and they taught us if the edge doesn't reflect light from head-on, that that's sharp. But you can get much sharper. Don't use pull-throughs, they don't get a knife sharp enough. The basic things of sharpening are removal of material: a consistent angle, going from rough grit to fine grit, making sure the sharpening you are doing on each side actually meets each other at an apex, and not rounding off the tip. I don't have the skills to dial in and keep a consistent angle on a whet stone, so I got a sharpmaker.
>>61872213Thats some pakistani garbage and its never going to take an edge cause it wasnt heattreated
>>61872384>It looks like a quality knife.Are you blind or just retarded? It looks like a knife shaped object made to be sold to idiots and tourists.
>>61872419That could be the case. It could also be a custom/ homemade deal. It's definitely not a factory production knife with a label.
>>61872435It's 100% trash
>>61872419>It looks like a knife shaped object made to be sold to idiots and tourists.That. The workmanship sucks, the materials suck, the steel looks like it isn't properly hard and was left sitting in battery acid to highlight the pattern. There's also the odd mismatch: why make a fancy pattern-welded blade only to use the shittiest and most plain of rivets on the handle? That looks 100% like something off the streets of India, Pakistan, or Bangladesh.
>>61872406it's pretty old man, I doubt it was made in paki
>>61872121Yea no shit. So the whole "can I sharpen it" question is also a no shit. You can sharpen a rock long enough for it to cut something but it's also retarded and a waste of time when you could get a knife with an edge on it.
>>61872289>What's a good brand for daggers?Just go to BHQ or Knifecenter and sort by blade shape. Pretty much anything you find there will be fine. What's your budget?
>>61872886I can now shave hair with it, but it's like if you got a hatchet "shaving sharp," obviously not good geometry for it, but it does it. >>61862990>>61863524These guys weren't lying. >>61872886It's almost a 1/4 inch by 3/4 inch decagon on the blade like if the top and bottom of this pic were the edges, so wondering if sharpening would be a futile effort seemed like a good thing to wonder to me.
>>61872886and I have plenty of knives with edges on them. the only reason not to have an edge on this is for the safety of the user. After a full sharpening, it barely feels sharper than it was although it is, so I'll take my chances with the hand slippage issue.
>>61872213it's tourist nonsense, sorry to say. made of mystery meat low carbon steel and likely not hardened. only has decorative value
>>61872206there is a belief that if a stabbing weapon is too sharp on the sides, it will cut into bone. if it cuts into bone, it can get stuck. if it gets stuck, you can lose it or it can break as you try to free it. so the theory goes for that reason it's better to have an edge that will simply glance off bone. whatever it encounters is in the path of the blade is still going to get torn up. the blade is also less likely to chip which again is a liability for getting stuck. the SOCP is basically just for cops and LARPers, i find it funny that someone would try to reprofile it to make it le epic cardboard cutting EDC
thoughts? i really want something with a 4 position clip and half serrated edge. spring assist is optional.
>>61878052>$69.00>8Cr13MoVwtf when did spyderco start selling cheap chinese trash for unreasonable prices?
>>61878012I'm not going to be using it for cutting tasks. I didn't have to reprofile it, just went with the edge it already had (it was higher than 40 degrees inclusive.) The edge came looking like it was sharpened and then purposefully dulled on a brick.
>>61878102so i take it that’s a bad buy? it’s mostly just for edc
>>61878052I'd just get it, it's so cheap. I haven't had one, but the tenacious seems like the ultimate beater knife to me. Careful closing it, no finger choil.
>>61878052What position do you want to put the clip in?
>>61878052Why do you want serrations? If it's not for some specific use case, you're probably better off with just a plain edge.
>>61878141yeah it’s not expensive so why not right? but if it’s cheap china steel, is it even worth that much?>>61878151i want the option to carry it on my pocket or on my rig but when it’s on my chest, i want to be able to draw and deploy it quickly. im right handed so pocket clip position would be blade down, right side but chest rig would be blade up, left side. if that makes sense>>61878303i come across rope and fibers semi frequently in my day to day that i need to cut.
>>61878477pic rel is another i’ve been looking at
This thread just reminded me I want a socp. Gonna order one off aliexpress and put a wicked convex edge on it
>>61878477personally, I wouldn't want to be switching over the pocket clip back and forth
>>61878052Serrated edges are trash
>>61878139For cheaper than that you can get folders from reputable companies in D2
>>61878052>>61878486on bladehq itself you'll find better deals than that one. like the Thin Red Line /Thin Blue Line special edition variant of the Endela (pictured), Delica and (for a little more) Endura. They're functionally identical to the regular one, just have that laser marking on the blade and a bit of color on the inside of the handle. sure, they don't have a black coating on the blade, but that's gonna wear down and scratch anyway and look like ass. It's NOT worth paying a premium for a coated blade.Not all that long ago, you'd have gotten tenacious for like 25 bucks, at that price it's a good knife. (8Cr13MoV is a perfectly usable steel btw, just nothing special these days) . Or a Delica for like 50-60, when it was still a somewhat budget option. But Spyderco increases their prices every year and have long since left the realm of reasonable prices with many of their items. in Europe it's even worse.
>>61878052its a knife that should cost 40 bucks. best recommendation is that you look for something in D2 under 50 bucks. you could get a qsp penguin, sog terminus, buck 110 slim select, ontario rat model 1 or 2 or the esee zancudo (made by the same guy who made the ontario rat 1 and 2)but dont waste too much money on entry level knives. get one that cuts, is durable and will last. because after you get that, just hop on up to the real knives like the Para2, Para3, Bugout, Ritter Hogue ect. these knives are expensive. but worth every penny. there are better options than the tenacious. i love spyderco, but thats poor gucci right there.
>>61878486also dont go serrated. even partial. if this is your first knife. people get serrated or partial serrated knives when they have specific tasks in mind with themjust go plain edge.
Just ordered myself pic related
What is the cheapest way to sharpen this ?
>>61881260coffee mug assuming you have one already
Thoughts on Glock Model Field 78 and 81? can get one for ~35usd
>>61881337they are fine at that price point but may not actually be what you want in a knife. its a bayonet that doesnt really attach to anything. not a general use knifethe 78 is significantly better.81rootsaw kinda sucks and makes it more awkward/annoying to use
>>61881360>its a bayonet that doesnt really attach to anythingnot a problem>not a general use knifehow do you mean?>81rootsaw kinda sucksthought sobut it should be fine as a fixed blade for that price right?
>>61881427>>not a general use knife>how do you mean?the blade profile and thickness makes it shit for say cutting fruit, being straight long and thin makes it shit for the same reason.guard gets in the way for carving.its specialized towards being a bayonet.you can use it for general tasks but its annoying.if you had a glock knife vs a coldsteel srk which is in that same price range the srk is more neutral and general use.sawback means you cant strike a ferrorod
oh and its too light to chop nicely
>>61868147$10-$20 on Amazon depending on the tides. I recommend this because of the sheath, which not enough people put much thought into. Even if you can reasonably expect to use a weapon then most of what you'll be doing is carrying it.
>>61881477>>61881487I see, so it's not good for cutting, carving or chopping?guess I should ask for a recommendation for a 30-50$ fixed blade general use knife that is good for cutting and some chopping
>>61881597>I see, so it's not good for cutting, carving or chopping?you can do them but a bunch of other knives are better at those tasks. if all you own is the glock knife you can try but the second you use another knife you think why was i doing the the hard way for no reason.the glock knife is good at being a bayonet, but you cant actually put it on anything. it is specialized. the things that make it a good bayonet make it a shitty bush knife or general knife.
it will cut its steel you can sharpen it. i said for cutting fruit its bad because its thick. for example you want your chef knife to be thin for nice cuts through fruit but you arent going to baton a kitchen knife through a tree. everything is a compromise and specialized for certain tasks.its bad at carving because the blade profile and general shape gets in the way.this doesnt mean you cant do those tasks.the glock knife specializes in being a bayonetjust get an srk for a cheap generic do it all knife
>>61862975My dad got me that for a christmas present. Honestly the most comfortable knife I carry around. I too wish to know how to sharpen mine as i ruin every blade I've ever tried to sharpen.>tldr good knife OP was not a faggot today.
>>61882027>I too wish to know how to sharpen mine as i ruin every blade I've ever tried to sharpen.go to goodwill get some kitchen knives and practiceruin it well thats more practice attempts
bump
>>61868124>>61868147Remember:1. Fixed-blade knives are better for fighting than folding knives and are usually cheaper too. 2. Serrated edges are highly overrated; you'll hate owning one when it comes time to sharpen it, so don't get those knives that are half serrated either.Look at these cheapo knives that might help you in a pinch and won't be missed if you lose it:https://www.gerbergear.com/en-us/shop/knives/all-knives/stowe-30-001905https://www.gerbergear.com/en-us/shop/knives/all-knives/principle-coyote-brown-30-001657Good luck
>>61881337They are pretty trash knives.Bad heat treat, bad design.
>>61885648>Bad heat treat, bad design.heat treat on them is fine>bad design.nah they are everything you want in a bayonet except for the fact they dont attach to anything but thats the guns fault for changing later.its light, thin, and durable.the issue is this dude doesnt want a bayonet. he just thinks he does and thinks he can force a bayonet into a do everything knife, but its a bayonet.
>>61885850>1095 steel only heat treated to 54 HRCNo, that is not "fine" that is gas station chinesium soft.
>>61886075its a bayonetyou go harder its more likely to snap
>>61886081to give context an ak bayonet is roughly 50-52 hrcm7 53-58 hrca m9 is 54-57 hrceverything you complain about is what makes it a good bayonet. its specialized towards being a bayonet.
If I'm buying a D2 steel Kabar for a survival pack, should it be the serrated or straight edge version?
>>61886075Eickhorn hardens their 55Si7 spring steel for the bayonets similarly (53hrc). as others have already said, it's so that it bends (and ideally snaps back) instead of breaking.
>>61886861Get a knife that has both. Straight edge for cutting meat and serrated for sawing through bones.
>>61885850>this dude doesnt want a bayonetnot really no>he just thinks he does and thinks he can force a bayonet into a do everything knife,not what I'm doing and why are you making things up in your headI just asked if those knives were good
>>61888024A bayonet is bad for most knife tasksSo is a scalpel or boxcutterA specialized tool is a specialized tool
>>61887001Properly tempered 1095 can get to 60 HRC or so and have no issue with breaking.It's cheaper to leave it butter soft, but that makes it essentially useless as a knife.
>>61886861Get the cold steel leatherneck.It's cheaper and less weak in the tang.
>>61889601>It's cheaper to leave it butter soft,they are still heattreating bayonetsits not cheaper its being heattreated just to a different standard.>that makes it essentially useless as a knife.its a bayonetthe things you want in a bayonet are not the same things you want in a general use knife. how many times do i have to state this?
>>61890171>how many times do i have to state this?Right up until a single person ever uses a Glock knife mounted on an AUG to kill someone. We both know that will never even stand a chance of happening.The very concept is ridiculous which is why Austria doesn't even do it. Every single Austrian I've worked with has said they've never even mounted a bayonet and the Glock knife was issued as a field/combat knife. Which is of course why it's the Feldmesser 78 and not the Bajonette 78. In addition numerous other countries use the Glock KNIFE and don't issue a rifle that can even attach it as a bayonet, because it is useless as a bayonet too you clown.How does a sawback help a bayonet be a better bayonet? Oh right it fucking doesn't. How does a tiny little blade make sense on a bullpup as a bayonet? Oh right it fucking doesn't.

Anyone know anything about kukris?I got this for cheap at a flea market. Seller clearly didn't know anything about it. It's definitely carbon steel as it was a little rusty, and it feels very solid. Based on some quick Google Fu it seems to be styled like the dress kukri issued to the Gurkhas though I have no way of knowing if it's genuine or a knockoff. If it's a knockoff I at least think it's a high quality one.Google Lens couldn't translate the whole inscription, but the last word is apparently "Koirala" who was a guy who served as prime minister of Nepal in the late 90s-early '00s. So I would guess it was made in that time period.
>>61899146CS:GO kukris are worth more than real kukris
>>61900821I know, unfortunately. But I'm not planning to sell it, unless it miraculously turns out to be a super valuable one which I doubt. I'm going to use it for /out/ shit anyway and I am just curious about the history and quality of it
>>61900963It's not a good picture but it's most likely worth nothing

>>61862975>>61872206>>61878538>>61882027>>61882043OP here. I'd advise against sharpening the socp unless you really know what you're doing unlike me. After it was barely shaving sharp, I went and tried to flatten the convex edge I had created all the way to the tip. my results:I. new edge profileII. new side profile (facing the butterfly)III. sharpened edge profileIV. sharpened side profile (facing the butterfly)as you can see, I removed the double bevel one way, but rounded the tip the other way.I put notebooks under the sharpmaker to hit the angle but somewhere along the line accidentally put them in the wrong spot under it, laying back the angle. The edge is back to about as sharp as when I started.Sure, it can probably be fixed some rainy day but I don't have the knowledge, experience, time or skills to do that at this time. I bought a new one and won't be fucking with the edge. $117 mistake. I was touching the tip of the sharpened one and it's still sharp, but less than perfect and not as pointy as the new one.both came with the tip ground a little off-center like in figure I.
>>61901405>This is a big box for a folder. Actually they sent me a few LMF’s.

>>61921959I love my Condor HD Kukri, it's a thick beast. I bought it new back in the day for ~$70 though. Once you get higher in price the Cold Steel ones are better
>>61924542
>>61924542>>61924554I would like to own a kukri but my country's knife laws prevents it
>>61921959ESEE Jaraca. It's a copy of Ontario's made by Condor because the guy who designed Ontario's kukri jumped ship after the aerospace nerds ran the company into the ground because they didn't know what knife people wanted.It's like one hundo and you can film yourself breaking it intentionally then post the video to BF and ESEE will still replace it.
>>61922107I'll never not recommend the basic DMT diamond bench stones. They're solid quality, will sharpen even high-carbide, high hardness steels, and they're not terribly expensive.
>>61872844>it's pretty old manNo it's not. That's a relatively new style and you can tell it's handmade by a poorly skilled workman. But even then they've been making shit tourist knives in Pakistan since the turn of the century.
>>61928796suck a fuck cuntbag you literally have no idea what your talking about bet you dont even own a butter knifeFUCK BANGER CUNT STICK LIARI bet you dream about fucjing myle cyruses sweaty ASS CRACK
>>61928890nta but they have been making pakimascus knives out of turd metal for decades. the fact that it won't take an edge is just evidence of that.also lol, you're a fucking boner, why are you worried about a knife you don't have a loycense to carry anyway?
>>61928890Sperg
>>61929112that was not me spazzing out btw. I'm the anon that posted the knife.
>>61933787im sorry you own trash hopefully you didnt pay that much for it
>>61933950I'm pretty sure I already said it was given to me, I don't know why you care so much about shitting on the knife tho, do you live in UK? is it jealousy? This will really blow your mind, it's not the only knife I own!
>>61934577He really got under your skin, huh?
Dead
>>61862975Any of you slackjawed faggots ever actually made a knife?
>>61881572Most states and municipalities have laws against carrying daggers, even where single edge blades are ok. This is because that knife is only good for stabbing people. Personally, I do not care what you do if you are not a criminal. Just be advised.
>>61935022nah, he just got irritating repeating himself over and over and over. I prefer to have conversations with people that don't just say the same thing over and over. roody poo candy ass summerfag
>>61878052Save up. Go big. Like a banana in your pocket. Fuck serrations and multi-position clips.
>>61942677great knifethat pic is an old one
Have a couple of cool ones. Big fan of the fairbairn dagger
>>61942337Yes. A few of us have.
Looking to get my first knife for EDC. Para 3 Crucarta (C223MCW) for around $160 or Bugout (535BK-4 model) for $190?
>>61946199the bugout is bigger than I thought it was, I saw one recently. Not a big knife, but more medium where I thought it was smallish. Both are pretty premium, get what you want. Or get both. For me, I'd get the para 3. I think they're neat-o.
Looking to get an auto knife? What’s a good size? 2.5” seems to be the standard
>>61946611idk why you want a tiny one, but this one looks coolhttps://kershaw.kaiusa.com/launch-4.htmlprobably cheaper on bladehqgo there and put in your parameters of what you want
>>61946611boker kalashnikovs in D2 are pretty cheap and decent. If you want a high end one you're likely to pay 300-400
>>61946611i like 2.9" for a small otf. 2.5 seems really small but my hands are kind of big
The edc I’ve used over time in defending order. Usually I carry two. One in my pocket and one in my boot.
>>61946199if you are using the shit out of your knife, get the Para 3 because of the ergos + CruWear is a great tough steel. but the Bugout is a better EDC and nicer knife. you can do all the same shit a Para 3 can do but it's significantly smaller/lighter (while providing the same edge) and in the case of that model, it's undeniably going to look and feel nicer too.
All I want is a boker barlow integral in copper desert ironwood
>>61921905pull through knife sharpeners are perfectly fine for people that actually cut things and aren't autists
>>61953251this, if you're stupid and incompetent they're for you. So are $5 gas station knives.
>>61952713the black micarta variant is currently heavily discounted (175€ -> 80€) on many EU retailers
>>61953443Yeah that's some good shit. €63 on mygoodknife too but sold out. I'm trying to be a little patient.
>>61953251
>>61953646not sure if waiting is the right choice here, as I doubt they'll come back once sold out. Böker usually only discounts things this far when they're discontinuing them.
Is this the stabby thread?
2nd NedFoss Knife just arrived cause my dad wanted one aswell. The one on the left is his. Some pretty good quality for some chinese knifes.
>>61957612Also pretty sharp aswell as I just so happend do find out first hand. The blade barley made contact with the backside of my thump cause I kinda fumbled while closing it and it was enough for a tiny cut.
anyone, show me something interesting I haven't seen before
>>61862975Anon who was looking for scandi knife recommendations hereWas hiking around the Bitihorn mountain and stumbled onto the best looking souvenir store. >Box of antlers out the front>skins drying in the sun>two caravans and a yurtGuy inside had a ton of antler handled knives but I know customs is weirder on animal products, so I went for a nice wooden handle one.Picrel.I’m still probably going to pick up a helle knife if I can find them, but I like this one
>>61960997Looks nice anon. Did the guy make them himself?
>>61862975this and the picoeur... using N690Co steel which retains an edge better...
Kniph :3
>>61870783Boot knife is colloquially used as a term for a small to medium sized GTFO me knife, often concealed. I agree that actually keeping a knife in the boot is dumb, the only time I ever did it was when I was in high school and needed maximum concealment. As soon as I was out of school my knife went into my pocket.
See this? Your uncle, or grandfather, or maybe dad had this. It got used to do anything from gutting fish to dressing deer to ventilating urbanite Robbin Hoods.This is all you ever need.
>>61953251people obsessed with getting "shaving sharp" edges are typically autists, but just freehand sharpening a knife on a small stone is maybe like 10% more difficult of a task than using a pull-thru. it's a braindead easy skill that the dumbest of dumbfuck humans have performed for thousands upon thousands of years. you're just so incredibly coddled and lazy that you won't even try lol.

Who makes a good kukri?
>>61973657condor
Very new to knives, would like something concealable for defense. Have a TDI punch knife that I like a lot, but I'm wondering if a longer, more slender profile would be better.cheers for any tips, also, where to place it on body?
>>61974011Cold Steel Counter TAC I>5" Blade>5mm Thicc>Double Edged>Durable Tip>Concaved Underside stiffens the blade>$80Simply replace plastic sheath with leather

>>61974963Not a big fan of coated metal, but this one has a beautiful silhouette. Nice.
looking for a decent quality, inexpensive flipper knife that has a loop/hole to attach a lanyard. ideally something slim and compact. for reference, i carry a boker urban trapper and like the slimness of it.
>>61891943Double edged blades are only made for killing and should be required by law to be blunted on one edge for safety. He could have sued you, I would have.
>>61881572>. I recommend this because of the sheath, which not enough people put much thought intoSame for me and most Condors.
Hey friends, I know quite a bit about steels and shit but know nothing of whittling and carving knife brands despite doing woodworking.Anyone aware of good brands that make thin, small folding knives good for wood carving? I'm talking 2 inches max, thin, etc. I'd prefer a good non-generic carbon steel but worst case scenario I suppose opinel is an option.
Question.Is there a type of knife that you plunge it into the victim and when you pull it back handle comes off leaving blade and handle spine (perforated) in the target. Basically making it a blood fountain?
>>61979175Yes, the traditional name is stupid knife.
>>61979200No need to reply are you 16 or smth
>>61946199i got my friend a real one for his birthday and he loves it, price tags a bit much though, so for another friends birthday I got him an aliexpress copy and it felt the exact same, the packaging and stuff was very good too.
>>61862975I really liked the idea behind the benchmade but this design made more sense and I feel more comfortable using it harshly in field since it doesnt have the cutouts. Its got a nice little cross guard and a sheath retention system too
>>61979702Why do you Post AliExpress pictures?Get the original instead, that is if you actually want something other than shitty soft steel and a low quality sheath.
>>61980316Wow, you sure told him!
