talk me in or out of buying a TRM neutron framelock. liners are gay, i want full ti so ill probably waste money on a scale too.
>>64319431A new question set is written, and I must obey...>larping or foldingBoth>Intended HARD USE larp?Mostly scare women with it and show it off to people at work if I need to cut boxes. Having a cool knife is kind of like being jacked, other men will come up to you and ask to see.>Blade width in the z dimension?Yes>Local warlords?They got sent back to Guademala.>Price floor?$119 retail, past that are generally good designs and high-quality steel types.>Nobody will pull you over if your tags are expired as long as you drive okay. Just play dumb. You wont even get a ticket. Use the money you save on car registration to buy more knives.Yes, hello? J. P. Chase Stanley bank of the Bahamas? Yes, I'd like to take out a mortgage on a house I don't own in order to buy more knives. No, I cannot wait, there's a new $400 plastic Benchmade that just came out, and this time they used more plastic!
>>64321621I recommend the Spyderco JaniSong, the retard-resistant version of a balisong.
hello I'm deploying to antarctica for a season, I need a nice non-threatening useful knife or multitool to bring along? something that won't get me in trouble in the New Zealand leg of the trip down there as well. I'll be in a lab so I'll be opening boxes, cutting zip ties, crimping wires, other lab related activities. Sometimes outdoors with heavy winter gloves on.Thanks guys, I'm new to knoifes in general.
oh and uhhh>larping or foldingfolding would be nice?>Intended HARD USE larp?antarctica lab as stated>Blade width in the z dimension?no clue mate>Local warlords?penguins and grumpy researchers>Price floor?I would honestly be happy paying $400 or sofor >>64321662
>>64321662Some Leatherman multitool
>>64321662You lucky sonova bitch I applied twice to be a renewable energy technician at McSpurdo and never made it. Good luck.

>>64321906keep trying! it took me 4 years of applying.>>64321963I do like me some titanium. I really don't need something with a serrated blade through.
>>64321963what's the point of two bottle openers
BASEDmdade
>>64321963>metal handle knife in subzero temps that can only be opened by nailnicksounds like an accident waiting to happen
>>64322287what do you recommend for me then anon?
>>64322295Buy a knife in NZ so you don't have to worry about customs
>>64322375eh I can always just leave it in my checked bag I guess.
>>64322030the pointy one is a can opener
Outside of bushcraft this little Gerber EAB fucker gets the most use outside of my collection for some reason. It's just a tiny square folded and as long as you use quality utility blades it'll last a lifetime. If you put some grip tape on one end it makes it easier to open one handed. https://youtu.be/711IWHCljVk?si=lMGOcBus7BRuREsP
>>64322030>gee bill your mom lets you have two bottle openers?one of them opens cans.>>64322287>metal handle knife in subzero temps that can only be opened by nailnickYeah I didn't really think that part through. Maybe a Spyderco UKPK or Dragonfly 2? Some models come in H2 in order to stand up to salty, corrosive environments.
>>64322049No. Don't give anti-gun companies money anon
Sorry for the bad quality photo, ill lighted room.
>>64322668I dont post in knife threads because I dont actually buy or use knives because I have your picrel and it does 90% of the things I need a knife to do. For the rest there are hammers and screwdrivers.
>>64323332>>64322668does this exist but with a longer handle
>>64322652>>64323014there are no cans in antarctica, unfortunately well I guess there are some if you're working in the mess as a cook
I’m looking to diversify my knife collection from just moras and opinels. Any ideas?>fixed blade>sub-5” blade length>non-batoning use>no material preference>sub-$75 budget
>>64323332Yeah for me the tiny thin triangle shape is why I always have it with me, just clip it on a wallet and forget about it until you actually have a use for a blade.>>64323452Kind of defeats the purpose with a longer handle but there is the screwpop and similar knives with adjustable blade length.
>>64323856what's wrong with wanting a longer handle, I don't get it
>>64323452I suggest the Stanley 10-099. The new ones seem ok, I have an older one from the 90s and it's held up well.I like that I can store like 15 spare blades in the body, and each blade has two ends on it, so you really have 30 blade changes available to you.Additionally, it's clearly a utility knife and is available from various suppliers like Acklands-Grainger, so it's easy to explain as necessary for work if some sperg liberal scientist starts asking "WhY dO yOu HaVe A kNiFe?!" after they said "Does anyone have something that can cut this packing strap?" And you say "Yes, I have this knife".
I'm going to get one of these, I like titanium.Exceed Designs TIRANT RAZOR V3
>>64323456>there are no cans in antarctica, unfortunately>well I guess there are someRetard.So you're saying he won't need a can opener because there are no cans, except for the cans of food that the cooks use. Cans of food that would likely be on the same transport as him if there happened to be an accident, or in the same building as him if there was an accident that killed all the cooks?Fucking retard.
>>64323898uhhhh what? if an accident kills all of the cooks we'll have bigger problems than me not having a can opener on my knife. lol you're a funny dude.
>>64323919>if an accident kills all of the cooks we'll have bigger problems than me not having a can opener on my knife.Like I said, you're a retard.
>>64323922I literally have no clue what you're complaining about.
>>64323929>I literally have no clueAt least you're self-aware.
lol @ can-opener schizo
>>64323957lol @ the neet who has never wished they had X tool around when something bad happensslit your dick off troon
>>64323987you're mentally wacked out my manI've never had to use a can opener in a situation where I'm more than 3 feet from a drawer that has a nice OXO or whatever one.I never will.go touch some grass
>>64323987you seriously plan your life around everyone in a kitchen dying and somehow all of the can openers disappearing simultaneously requiring your pocket knife to have a can opener on it?you are either 12 years old or a legitimate schizo
>>64324005nta. but I have. it's a useful tool, even if I use it for other thing most of the time.
>>64323867the folding handle on the gerber is not good, but its enough to hold onto. The flip side is you are probably not cutting anything more aggressive than a cardboard box or two so the ergonomics of it doesnt matter very much. If you have a specific task you need a real cutting tool for go get the right tool for the job
>>64323867The EAB is almost the size of the blade itself for super compact carrying. I use a Fiskars because its grippy for large jobs.
>>64324005>>64324008Like I said, you're retards who have never left the comforts of home.You neverserved homos probably don't even know what a P-38 is. Fuck, you probably don't even know how to use the blade style can openers.Like I said, go slit your estrogen-shrunk baby dicks off.
>>64324076I don’t get it either. Can opener is the most important part of a multitool. Second is bottle opener because I like beer.
>>64321662Demko's Freereign doesn't have an exposed tang and comes in nonthreatening colors. IMO the AUS10 base model is overpriced but you can get much better steels for not much more money. That would be about half of your $400 budget, you could drop another $100 on a Leatherman or other multitool then get some Milwaukee beaters, maybe have a backup and also 1 or 2 to hand out to people who really wish they'd brought a pocket knife. I got one of the hawkbills a few years ago just to try it out and it became one of my favorite knives but also the only one I lend out because it was just $15. The first time I lent it out the dumbass using it broke the tip and I wasn't even mad, I just reground it when I got home. They're gravity knives so they're great for using with gloves but I guess customs or whoever might be gay about them.
>>64324204beer is fucking disgusting it's a poison, essentially
Is the milspec KA-BAR still the best fighting knife in today's day and age?
>>64324345Arguably the best would be some bespoke bullshit and even if you wanted to restrict it to "the best mass produced fighting knife" there would be heavy competition however I do think the USN Mk2 has held up very well. Kabar in particular has modernized quite well, their rubber handles are goddamn amazing. I think they've gotten a little crazy with their pricing but their sheaths kick the shit out of most competitors and I feel like that doesn't come up as often as it should.
>>64324429
>>64322380Leatherman wave +If wanted and needed you can get the bitkit for it aswell
>>64324429How'd they kill a bear with one then
>>64324468Using a knife as a Hatchet instead of as a knife is a bad ideaTools are meant to be used for what they're meant to be used forIt's even worse as a pry bar
>>64324429>IT BREAKS WHEN YOU USE IT LIKE A HATCHET!!!11!!!1!!why are knife fags like this?
>>64324576Whoever named it that (John Killabear)
>>64324452Wasn't that Ontario or Camillus? Ontario made the SEAL knife but it's lame 420
>>64324657That's the Mk3.
>>64324452What's the difference between that one and the USMC Kabar
>>64324215Beer brewing is a proud Germanic and Slavic tradition. You are brown, and gay.
2 slip joints coming from Knife Center, Barlows. One from Rosecraft, one from Bear and Sons. Both in "stag", will post.
My rather boring collection.
>>64324677Kabar is just the manufacturer.Circa WW2 militaries realized that they could look to what knives their own people were already using and then just adopt that knife and everyone would know how to use it. In Britain this led to the FS. In the US this led to the USN Mk2, now generally known as the Kabar. Kabar wasn't the first manufacturer of this pattern, but they got a shitload of knives out relatively early so their kname stuck.
>>64324502>Watch the rest of the video where they do non-knife things and have bad opinions
>>64324721Yeah but why was it the Navy and not the Army (and what changed for the Marines)For that matter what was the Mk1
>>64324720The ZT is neat, and (one) Spyderco is something everyone needs. The rest of this is consooming.
I think Ontario makes a modern version of the Marine Raider knife with a profile like picrel, is it good?
>>64324861>n-no one ever batons with a knife!!This but unironically.Literally, even.
>>64324894>you literally watched a video where they do itSo if I literally watch a video where your favorite knife it broken by a hydraulic press that means it's shit?
>>64324909>Why are you comparing crushing a knife to processing wood?What a strange thing to say from a "hit the knife with a blunt instrument" fanboy.
Also, what's the better blade profile, bowie or tanto?
>>64324933When was the last time that you had to baton some wood?
I'm looking for something with this profile more or less. I think Extrema Ratio makes one
>>64324950>When was the last time you had to knife fight someone with a KA-BAR to stay alive?Earlier today because I live in Niggerville, Tx.
>>64324894>because realistically no one should be fighting with a knife, right?yeah
>>64324934Niether. Anything other than drop point and straight back is retarded.>inb4 muh warnecliffe is...literal box cutter>inb4 muh tanto is...literal mall ninja nonsense>inb4 muh dagger is...you're not stabbing anyone, stop larping>inb4 muh karambit is...see above>inb4 muh bowie/ clip point is...see above>inb4 it's what I personally like and since opinions are subjective, my likes are beyond external criticismWrong.
>>64324975Unironically true. There is no situation where self-defense with a knife is a good idea. And judges HATE that shit.
>>64324959OK.
>>64324990
>>64325022A .380 is barely a gun>>64325009Is that a new model? I like the handle and hilt/pommel design, very clean and modern
>>64325022>>64325030I believe this is what the children call cope.
>>64325060Nobody but suburban noknives puts Kabars on a pedestal so when you make the inevitable "um actually" posts nobody but you is surprised.
>>64325052At least carry a full size 92And you're right, I don't carry a knife for self defense. I carry a Kahr P9 or a J-frame for that. I carry a knife for utility.
>>64325082>I'm not surprisedCool then post your knife with some wood that you batoned.
>>64325088No worries and checked. I still think a knife should be carried at all times even if it's a cheap Kershaw folder. But for aforementioned reasons the gun is for resisting cultural enrichment efforts by future doctors and astronauts.
>>64323856based tiny box cutter collection. I had a screw pop for a while but it kept opening in my pocket. I shelled out $100 for the aerocrafted titanium and have been using it for years. it hasn't worn out and is light as a feather
>>64325211Oh man wow that's so cool I totally believe that you're a White person with real opinions and definitely not someone from a place where working plumbing is akin to magic.
Anyone know what the second from right is? I like the blade profile and hilt design just not the goofy "damascus" shit or whatever that handle is. Make it out of Kraton or micarta with a proper 5160/M390 or better blade and I'd take two.

>>64325296Yeah I'm 3 days into my schizo special operation.Post a gun.
>>64325282Looks like a paki attempt at shitting up a Muela magnum to sell on Etsy as "hand forged damascus steel". Either way I don't believe there is a name for the blade profile beyond "clip point bowie" I'd imagine
I've wanted one of these for almost 15 years now but they're discontinued and sold out everywhere :(Anyone know what's the next closest thing? And why do knifemakers never use A2 or O1 steel anymore?

>>64324429>>64324610>>64324502Completely irrelevant. Anon asked about a FIGHTING knife.

>>64325628>>64324934Once upon a time there was an autist in these threads who would stab punching bags wrapped in t-shirts with ever kind of blade he could get his hands on. He said straight backs and dagger/spear points were far better than anything else.
>>64325498What we need is a garberg with a longer blade and a guard and flush pommel so you can push on the back according to the wisdom of James Williams.SRKs rattle if you throw them at a tree for a while.
>81 new posts in the knife general, I wond...>batoning argumentI should've knownThe Ka-Bar is for dispatching the enemies of freedom worldwide and doing stuff a pocket knife would do. They chose it because WWI trench knives weren't good at utility tasks. There are compromises everywhere with knives, it was a knife they could mass produce for the soldiers.
I don't like the upswept point on the Ka-Bar.
>>64325728That's fine. It's not upswept like an Arabic sword. The point is closer to the middle of the blade than if it was straight backed.
>>64325513All in good time.
>>64325411>>64325777>>64325822>durability testsYou mean batoning tests. Which will never ever happen in a combat scenario.Here's a guy chopping and thrusting a bog-standard ka-bar into everything you can possibly think of. The knife survives fine dozens of doing full force chops and thrusts into wood, metal, and concrete. It only breaks when the guy purposely does retard stuff to break it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pI3z23y2028
>>64325711I'd rather carry something like a Green River hunting knife with a handguard.
>>64325777>Sounds like the trench knives were better COMBAT knives while the KA-BAR was a better utility knifeyeah, but the soldiers whined they couldn't open their MREs or whatever they had with itThey probably just wanted one knife and traded their other ones for cigarettes or something>>64325777>show us testing that proves the KA-BAR is so good at combat that it's worth ignoring durability tests where other knives, while being more durable, would not be able to be utilized effectively in combat situationsI have a kabar and a garberg and would rather have the kabar for fighting, the garberg for camping type stuffthere are better knives. The KaBar is good enough. Mine was $105 when I got it.
>>64319431>knife general>look inside>spoons
>>64325856>is the one who brought up durability>hurr why are you talking about durability?retard>i.e. things that will also not happen in a combat scenarioYou said the tang would snap if you accidentally swung/thrust into a wall or otherwise hit something solid. You have video evidence of a guy intentionally swinging and thrusting a ka-bar into something solid dozens of times and the knife is fine. >Where's its lauded combat capability?Explain why a shorter knife with a smaller guard and a blade profile designed for woodworking is better for combat.
>>64325822>Which is why I asked for tests that proves the KA-BAR is so overwhelmingly capable at combat>Can you provide any kind of data like that?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II
>>64325867>How many knife fights have you been in?How many have you been in exactly?
>>64325867>How many knife fights have you been in?None, thankfully. Look at all the unused nukes ready to go around the world. Is it stupid for those countries to have them?>>64325867>I've seen way too many bend or break at the tang to trust it.JoeX abused his hard and it took way more than I thought it would. It has a guard and a leather handle which is nice. I prefer a fencing grip to the hammer grip though. My most ergonomic knife is my Military 2, but it isn't perfect either. Garberg is good but no guard.
>>64325904>lets do things with this knife that it wasn't meant to do>cherrypicked cases of failures prove all of them are badHey, look. I guess Glocks are shit and nobody should buy them.
>>64325912A knife designed as a weapon is generally better at being a weapon than a knife designed as a tool. You are on the weapons board.
>>64325921>when it comes to selecting a tool in a possible life or death situation>t. triple-digit BMI that thinks chopping some sticks in his backyard is survival bushcrafting
>>64325921Ok, so what is a good fighting knife in your opinion?
>>64325925Uh oh, guess you better get rid of your Mora now.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAKFzTCrU_I
>>64325936I don't own a Ka-bar.
>>64325934Have you handled one? It's like a little sword, extremely dangerous to flesh.
>>64325946What is this even supposed to mean? Is it just some sad "i accept ur concession" level cope?
>>64325944Hasn't this been a very long discourse about how fighting/combat knives should be designed? This is /k/, for bushcraft, go to /out/.
Oh look. Guess Mora's are garbage that you should never trust your life with either. Into the bin they go.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRdaYo2atiU
>>64325979How, exactly? This should be funny.
>>64325977No, the KaBar is like a little sword, the FS is like a dagger. It's unfortunate they don't even make them with sharp edges anymore the way fairbairn told them to. The old ones look like the 11 degree or so grind of the blade goes right to the edge, which would be easy to sharpen. The ones they sell now have a 90 degree inclusive angle on the edge, so are just good for stabbing.
>>64325994That's not an explanation, retard-kun. All you did was restate what you already said.
>>64325982Uh, what have we been talking about then? You've been complaining about the weaknesses of the kabar, ie saying fighting knives shouldn't be designed that way. There are different designs, I guess it amounts to personal beliefs and style and ergonomics and philosophy of use. Look at Michael Janich with the Yojimbo. He has some good points which can be met with counterpoints, but his points and philosophy of use are effective for what they are. It just not my cup of tea, but it works for him and people who agree.
>>64326004So you have no explanation. Guess >>64325954 I was right.
>>64326002>CS Natchez Bowiethat has some kind of tang made out of wire or something, just so you knowmuch worse than a kabar
>>64326018>why the KA-BAR is a fighting/combat knifebecause it was used that way by vast numbers of soldiers in the biggest war ever and every american war after that
>>64326021>just repeating the same midwit copoutlelI know exactly what point you were trying to make. You just don't want to spell it out because you know what a retarded fucking argument it is.
>>64326045>you didn't buy it because you know it's bad!>see, this means it's bad!
>>64326048So you've just given up and are going full-retard. Nice.
>>64326042More retarded arguments from the midwit.
>>64326061>y-y-you're t-t-trollingI supposed it might look that way when someone's calling your bluff on the retarded garbage you post.
>>64326064>if you can't name all the people who killed someone with a Ka-Bar in a war this means it's not a combat knife!QED, retarded arguments
>>64324934The tanto is useful if you find yourself needing to puncture things frequently, such as at my job. I've been abusing the hell out of an Emerson CQC7 for years now for jobs that would have bent/broken the tips off of pretty much any other pocket knife I have ever owned. However if that is not something you need from your knife just about anything is objectively better for everyday tasks.
>>64326068>literally pointing out exactly what you said that was retarded and why>not calling your bluffkek
>>64326076I wasn't the one making that point, retard. Not everyone is the same person here.It's a fucking knife with a sharp edge and acute enough point. It's perfectly suitable as a general purpose or combat knife, especially given that it was in service after soldiers started carrying rifles and pistols with more than half a dozen rounds in a magazine.Ka-bars are fine. A couple of videos of people breaking them by doing retarded things doesn't prove that they're shit knives.
>>64326080What wrong assumption? You never explained why me not owning a Ka-bar proves any point you've been trying to make, retard.
>>64325327LT wright still makes a bunch of knives in a2.You could probably just go custom if you want the knife badly enough.
>>64326042There is no "I" in TEAM.
>>64324706>Bear and Sonsalways been curious abt b&s. i see their price son bladehq and am always shocked it's miusa

>>64326119>video where a KA-BAR gets hit on the handle by a bat and it gets bentGee, I always find myself jamming my knives into stumps and smashing them with baseball bats. I wouldn't dare own a knife that couldn't withstand being smashed with a fucking baseball bat.You're a fucking retard.
>>64326139>sample size of one>this means somethingAnd Moras are dogshit too, then.
>>64326166Half a dozen examples isn't proof of anything.Moras aren't dogshit; the point I was making was that you posting two videos of knives being abused and breaking isn't evidence of them being shit knives. Only a moron would think that.
>>64326198And there are two DBK videos with the non-Magnacut Ka-bars where they baton without issue. So disregarding hitting a knife with a fucking baseball bat you have one breaking from batonning.
>>64326198Uh oh, Bark Rivers are shit too.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vC6NV084qlg
>>64326226No, retard. Two videos with the regular old 1095, stick tang Ka-bar.
>>64326229The same reason millions of people have used Ka-Bars through the years without issue?
>>64326237>this one that broke means all the other ones, including the ones that didn't break, are shitPlease see>>64326217inb4>b-b-but mine didn'tThat doesn't count, right? One broke, all are shit.
>>64326239So we've gone from you demanding proof of people killing with it to deem it a combat knife to >well, I'm guessing they just didn't use theirsFucking kek.
>>64326253>he still thinks one breaking in a video means they all breakThen, by your own reasoning, all knife models that ever exhibit a failure are bad.>>the two that brokeOne, from any sort of remotely reasonable use. Just like one of the Bark Rivers. Both in the same new steel. Interesting. This must mean Magnacut is shit!
>>64326259>you must show data to prove your point to me!>my one or two anecdotal examples are all the proof I need!
>>64326259>show me data about who actually EDCs a KA-BAR and what they do with it.soldiers: fighting, utilityalthough it's been 80 years and better knives are available, some marines swear by it, carried it the whole time, etc.
>>64326275I have watched the whole video, nigger. I was mocking how stupid your fucking argument is, you utter fucking mongoloid.
>>64326278I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything. I'm pointing out what a moron you are and why your arguments are horseshit.
>>64326289And you completely missed my point, despite me explicitly stating it for you.
>>64326289just come right out and say itquit being all mystical
>>64326297You really are pretty dim. Sorry I don't care about your heckin debaterino, midwit.
>>64326302Jeezus fuck you're dense.
>>64326306Where's your data, nigger? One or two videos isn't data.
>>64326309Stop posting your retarded garbage in this thread then.>So stop responding to me then?Go back to plebbit too, while you're at it.
>>64326312>n-n-no uThe fact that you're harping on about the specific fucking Bark River models shows you completely missed the point.
>>64326316>one video is dataAHAHAHAHA
>>64326319Again, missing my point.
>>64326322I wasn't even talking about that you stupid fucking niggerfaggot.I was making a joke about the two knives that broke sharing the same steel being proof that the steel is shit as a mockery of you saying a fucking video of one knife breaking is proof that they're all shit.Holy hell, I can't believe I needed to actually spell that the fuck out for you.
>>64326325How about you just fuck off instead?
>>64326325Take your gay debating 101 shit back to plebbit, like I said.
>>64326331>then you should already know you've lost the debate.Fucking kek, there it is. It's some fucking midwit who thinks he's a masterdebater.
>>64326334I said I don't care about your gay "debate" shit, you illiterate monkey.
>>64326340>starts his HECKIN DEBATE BRO with fucking anecdotal evidenceD-K at work again
>>64319431Cool knife, anon.
>>64325488>/kg/ has degenerated below /arg/ tierWorse than that based upon the deletions, but yeah.
>>64324215Found the muslim.I'm glad you retards have to pray to your pedo prophet 6 times a day, keeps you from using that time productively and joining the rest of us in this century.
>>64324720>not even a single wear markwhy do you have knives if you're never going to use them?
>>64325513>sudokuIt's spelled sapporo you idiot
>>64327123I just want to wear a sarong, does that count?
>>64327158Cold Steel has you covered.
>>64327176Some kinda ultraninja shit right there.
People give Cold Steel all kinds of shit, but I carried my Espada XL during the Floyd riots. No guns at work and would be very hard to hide one.
>>64319431should iget the midway exclusive coldsteel srk

>>64327176What about fighting thongs?
>>64325534I'll check that out, thanks. Reminds me a bit of a mora scout on steroids.
Are We Knives fun? Or are they pieces of shit.
>>64324990ur gay
>>64328766They all have a slight chink in assembly.
>>64322668This is all I need but I enjoy knives and the related sharpening autism so I use and carry those instead. I'm not sorry.
>>64328790Plus those disposables have absolute shit edges. the disposable edge knives only make sense if you are using a knife so constantly it dulls half way through your day, or you constantly get concrete slop all over your knife. for all other tasks (especially edc), a regular knife sharpened once a month probably has a better edge and is more economical. we have modern super steels now that legitimately do not dull quickly. inb4>not my muh jap steel import razorblades i buy specifically hurdurrstill busted out on a belt grinder
>>64327121Rotating multiple high wear resistant knives (like in 15v or k390) can result in years of regular use with minimal discernable wear. Such as my frequently pocketed k390 DF2. Tons of use and just has a little patina.

Buy or not to buyWE Knife Coral by GTC
>>64331978I always wonder who buys those type of things. Enjoy I guess.
>>64332040Custom costs 10x more
I have a knife.Tl;dr /thread
My favorite
i don't have a collection, i just have this victorinox rangergrip 78. it works for me. one and done
>>64319431Why the fuck does Victorinox always discontinue all their good models (Compact and Manager) and keep all the shitty ones?
>>64333036Idk how victorinox hasnt rolled out any sort of modular customizer yet. they automated all their production already, seems like logical next step.also give me titanium scales for my saks
>>64333001how do you sharpen it
>>64334656idk just strop it on my jeans lmao
>>64335300You'll cut your dick off!
>>64335305its not really getting any use anyway lolfuck i'm lonely
>>64323332For me it's the swisscard scissors, they work like a little knife if you unfold them
>>64333036compact is still available
>>64335530These are actually super good. Swisscards are a bit too brittle to my taste (I have broken the casing of two of them simply by having them in my wallet) but the tools themselves are pretty solid.Even the tiny minimalist pen has been usedful.
Microtech is bringing back the halo single actions
Chicago Knife Works has great prices, but boy are they slow on getting orders shipped. I’m still used to mail order catalog buying, but it sure isn’t Amazon.Also just saw a mid day coyote in the back yard.
>>64338339Only Signature / Marfione specials for now, so base price is gonna be 1-1.5k for the entry model. Hopefully there's enough demand to warrant some regular models closer to the price of the Gen3 UT. Mildly glad and extremely sad I'm not making them.
>>64338588>saw a mid day coyote in the back yardKILL IT, KILL IT!! It's wild, shoot it now!
