>>65348195For me anyway, it's because their fixations either don't matter, or actively make the knife worse. And what's crazy is there are multiple breeds of knife autist and they all do this. At this point I'm convinced it's just because smart autists get into trains, or guns, or even the lower functioning but still sapient go for swords.
I just like it

The Ultratech.
Do y'all ever order a CRK from their website? Or do you try to find one at a retailer? I feel that sitting on a 6+ year waiting list brings up some sort of existential questions. Like, do I even know I will be here in 6.5 years?
>>65348541I think most people get direct orders fulfilled much faster than the quoted time. Either way not much point unless you really want something specific and cant find it ever anywhere
>>65348583I mean, you're stuck with a handful of different builds anyway, so it's easier to just find one online somewhere. I just like ordering this way:1. Probably help me build patience, maybe cut down on impulse buys.2. It gives me hope that I might still be here in 6 years.

heres my speck cutterwhenever I'm in africa when its hot, far away from civilisation, when bananas and cashews are the only food avalable in the savanna of the Serengeti, some good old dry speck brought vacuum sealed is a life saver. but only if you have a knife to cut it hair-thin.this herbertz is my speck knife since 2005. the missing bits in the blade are from beerbottle caps. tusker, serengeti or safari lager. former german colonies brew exellent beer. karibu. ek se.
>>65349138>people with real interest learn knife making, forging or metallurgy.nobody in this thread does any of those
>>65349299kill yourself tourist, I made my first knife in a propane forge I built for a high school project based on designs and recommendations from the boards' knife autists
>>65349288I know plenty of people that edc knives for that reason
>>65349352If a gun isn't an option due to archaic laws, then a knife, possibly a fixed blade, is your second-best option. If you think pepper spray or a taser work on a crazy nigger, then you're just dumb. There are plenty of videos on Police Activity where pepper spray fails. CA law is especially weird, in that you can't even carry a fixed blade unless it is visible to everyone. So people are stuck with non-auto folders.
>>65349383There are also plenty of videos on Police Activity of guns jamming or failing to drop people before they can do damage. Similar for knives. There is no magic solution that works 100% of the time, but pepper spray is pretty alright and gives you some potential range. Pepper spray AND a knife is better, but the spray by itself beats nothing. If I had to choose between carrying spray OR a knife for self-defense purposes I'd go with the spray and a jog over getting into a knife fight with a guy who wouldn't stop after getting the ol' spicy eye anyway.
>>65349574For me a knife is the last line of defense, first is probably not to get myself into that situation in the first place. However if I get jumped and if the range is too close to spray I'll be blocking one hand and stabbing/cutting whatever I can with the other.
>>65349982Ditto. For most people, every knife should be a get-off-me knife because everything else has failed and you're at least not going to be the only guy bleeding. I do wish there was a blinding spray that worked every time with low risk of getting thrown or blown back at you, but even that would get blocked by sunglasses.

>>65348176154CM is perfectly fine. Takes an incredible edge and is easy to get there on a resharpen. I find the heat treatment must be easier because it's been superior often to other S30-S35 steels in edge retention and how well it takes an edge. It's no supersteel, but it's the old-school OPERATOR steel, and I respect that.
>>65350307I'll probably get the CQC-7B clitless, but IDK what finish yet, the Thunderstorm or plain. If the Thunderstorm finish is applied to the frame as well, then TS, but if it's a black blade and the frame is still stainless, then I'll probably get the plain.It's not the most modern knife, but neither is the USP. To me, both are worth getting for the legendary status alone.
>>65350322It's a meme knife, but the USP is not a meme gun. I own a bunch of both. It's not a knife you'll ever use, but you'll play with it and look at it. Don't get it as your EDC knife.
>>65350344I own 4 pricey knives and like 2-3 cheap ones; I only carry one of them consistently. I probably should knife swap the rest and be a 1-knife guy.
>>65349383laser dazzlers are comparatively effective non-lethal options but actually using one probably entails a prison sentence
Ordered some knives. My puukko drawer must expand.
I fell for the Chris Reeves Sebenza meme. Terrible knife. So stiff it's almost unusable and doesn't get better after probably opening and closing it 500 times, and dangerous to use if you're not paying full attention when opening or closing. I actually cut myself, and I never cut myself. I mean, I own probably 40 folding knives, have opened them thousands of times over the years, not once have I cut myself. The Sebenza however sliced my finger after a couple of days. Fuck that shit. The emperor has no clothes. Selling it.
Just realized I have almost $200 in points at a retailer. Sadly the custom that I thought was nice sold during their last sale.
>>65352109Never had issues with mine. Either you got a rare crk lemon or your hands are weak and/or clumsy.
This one arrived in the mail today, Cold Steel Tai Pan, $165 for the VG-10 San Mai version. I wish the handle shape was more like a Fairbairn Sykes but it's still great.

Best balisongs in the ~$50 range? This one seems alright at a glance
>>65355589I bought similar from them back in 2014 that's held up fairly well.
>>65348520Krate makes a pretty good copy of this knife, it's not bad but I'm sure the Ultratech probably has no play, the Krate has like a tiny TINY bit of blade play but its got good action and looks nice. It's pretty light too... for like 1/3rd the price it was my first OTF after I saw it was an Ultratech clone.The only other OTF's we have at my LGS are Cobratech's and they're pretty fucking heavy, some have extremely stiff springs and buttons but they do have like no play at all and feel pretty solid. I wouldn't want to drop my Krate too hard or bust it around, it's strictly a stabby boi for stabbin.
>>65350307>>65350322I really don't like that thumb stud. It looks like they got a deal on some knurled rod or knurled blanks and decided to find a way to use them whether it fit or not.

>>65356544I already have an orange and green, but I wanted a spare. It’s a perfect little knife.
>>65348195I started just collecting knives during Covid because of boredom and it grew from there once I had fulfilled certain things I wanted out of a knife. 95% of what I own if superfluous and I will likely now just sell on now I'm kinda just bored of it all, I decided I'd make a grail knife out of a Gerber TACII and Randall Model 14 attack because of 2 movies they're in and call it quits. I've posted a lot of my knives here in the past, fixed, folders and everything in between but I don't engage with any active knife community because honestly I find people who make knives their entire personality insufferable. It's the same with any niche hobby, guns, games, sneakers whatever. There's always people who try to elevate themselves as experts of some kind in order to gate keep what is essentially a 'how much disposable income do you have'
>>65356942Collecting knives is way easier than guns, especially here in CA.
>>65356977nigger you can just buy guns in CA you're just retarded.
>>65357031I own fucking guns you fucking collosal retards. Can I fucking buy a MK23 in CA? No. Can I fucking buy a CZ75 Legend in fucking CA? FUCKING NO. You're stuck with shit the government deemed acceptable.hell they banned ALL Glocks here including peer to peer sales...
>>65357036As a leaf, I sympathize. I was collecting guns for years until the retards out east decided to elect Trudeau 10 times in a row, followed by his loser buddy, and they banned absolutely everything. Handguns are my favourite and now I can’t even get more because of these worthless dipshits.I’ve been getting into knives in the past 5 years or so, which at least are much more attainable. Today the Counter Tac I ordered arrived, which I wanted just because daggers like that are cool and I wanted one to play around with.
>>65357054I refuse to buy a nice AR because of how retarded the state has become. My go-to is a Ruger PC9 and Beretta A300.
>>65357062Even when we could get them here, I never did buy one. A semiauto .223 limited to 5 round mags, sometimes 10 at best, which you can only shoot at a couple approved ranges always seemed like a waste of money to me. I cannot begin to express how much I hate my federal government.
>>65357096Ours is limited to 10, but the magazine is welded onto the gun. Unless you want full featureless, which makes the gun look super retarded. A Ruger Mini-14 would have been a better option if you're in CA. A part of me felt the reason Ruger supported a lot of the laws here is because of that as well...
What did BladeHQ do to piss off everyone?
I'd like a fixed blade. I have some Boker Plus one but the sheath kind of sucks, and the grip is pretty fat. The Matt Helm dogbone looks suitable, but I want a stonewashed or stainless look, not black. Any suggestions? I carry a Para 3 at the moment and I like it, I'm just wanting to get something new after like seven years

>>65355655>Cobratech's and they're pretty fucking heavyIron or steel chassis, maybe? For the stiffness, you can try polishing the internal slider that rubs against the locks so it's smoother, and polish the track the button rides in for smoothness.>>65364982Always boggled me why the SOCOM was so popular on tip-down carry.
>buys Delica 4 K390>use it for a few months>it begins to rustGuys, has anyone here ever acid- or stonewashed their knife? What chemical do you recommend? What rocks stones or tumbler would you recommend? Also does it stop the rust or will it rust still even after stonewashing?
>>65365887Coffee patina it.
>>65365887That is a Stretch 2.
>>65365690>boggled me why the SOCOM was so popular on tip-down carryprobably because people care way more about the knife than the carry position
>>65365912Same thing, I am just too lazy to get the Delica out of the safe.
>>65365887I'm not sure stonewashing would do anything. Plus, you would have to take the knife apart and figure out how to put it back together and resharpen it. It will develop a patina on its own, or you could force one with vinegar or something. Scrub any orange rust off with an abrasive cleaner and soft sponge or rag.
>>65365914Cult of personality around Tony, or was the knife used or marketed in a certain way as to explain the popularity around the knife? I'll admit I don't peruse knife / EDC / self defense mags.
>>65365936I bought a cheap rust eraser for my 10/22, which worked on the delica. >>65365936If it doesn't work I will just let it patina normally. THanks.
>>65365942People saw a knife that looked cool and they didn't care that it was tip down carry. Is your contention that the SOCOM is not aesthetically appealing to certain people and it was other things that caused them to buy it instead?
>>65348176What's an OK cheap knife that I can just use as a boxcutter and keep in my pocket?
>>65365955I was more wondering about the history behind it / the marketing. If it was a tip-up carry I'd be more understanding, and I'd probably have at least one if not two. Though it may just be some leftover annoyance at how frustrating they were to assemble some days / Tony demanding more more more.>>65365967Any requirements? Size, shape, style, etc? If you really just need a cheap pocket beater that you won't care if it gets lost, go to a hardware store and buy one of those cheap folding utility knife. If you want some cheap junk that you can beat the fuck out of before it gives up the ghost, Ganzo clones Benchmade and other companies but overdoes it. I had a G704 that I abused harder than the clutch on a Cobra Mustang and it never failed me. I mean opening cans, scraping paint on metal, prying, you name it, I did it.
>>65365976>I was more wondering about the history behind it / the marketingYou're the MTfag, you tell me. >If it was a tip-up carry I'd be more understanding, and I'd probably have at least one if not twohere you go then
>>65365990Why does the grip taper like that? Is it supposed to be ergonomic?
>>65366001I guess? I didn't design the knife.
>>65365990I've only seen pictures of Microtechs, but they all appear to have very obtuse grind angles.
>>65366023*edge bevels
>>65366023You should probably let them know about it
>>65365990Lmao you got a point. Yeah, saw the ram-lock release, was hoping for auto. I'm also gonna wait a bit so the first few teething issues get solved. >>65366001Allegedly.
All knives are the same. Just get an amazon knife and sharpen it.
>>65365976Thanks.
>>65348176Just saw that Kommandostore is making a repro of the Counter Strike knife
>>65365990Can't say I am a fan of the look of this knife, I guess it's like a Spyderco where some people love it and some hate it.
>>65366229be sure to let them know that you don't care about it then
>>65366229These knives are sold out 24/7, and plus you probably can't afford it anyways.
>>65365936>>65365887Stone washing s knife isn't a chemical its literally “washing” it in rocks.You put knife in rock tumbler-like a pvc pipe with rocks in it that just spins for 10-30min depending on look you want.Maybe vineger/ferric acid before or after the rock tumble if you want certain look. Most do acid dip then rock tumble, thats the most common “stone wash” look.You can do all this with handle on just wrap it up tight, not sure how to dip with handle on but maybe the handle material wont react with those chemicals or you can find a way to seal it up good with tape or carefully dip it/tape top area of handle off.
>>65366229Yeah its really dumb. That's why i am starting to make my own knives.They have the simplest grinds and price to high, of all knifes out there to copy these types are the easiest. I actually just started a pocket knife to copy their triad lock system. They lose the patent this month so anyone can start selling triad lock system soon.Im making a simple knife to sell way cheaper then them in magnacut steal. I could probably do it for half and heat treat will be primo. Heat treat then bathed in dry ice slurry and 300F temper. 64-65 rockwell. Tough as nails and wont rust
>>65365967The best box cutter is a box cutter. This is a Fastback thread, but most will work fine. If you just want something knife shaped for reasons, even a gas station knife will handle your Amazon packages, but I'll second Ganzo if you need a brand.
>>65366110use case IRL?
Why can't I find a grind like the Emerson CQC-7 anywhere? Is there such a thing as a fixed blade or folder with this grind that doesn't use 154CM?
>>65366948Kind of tempted, played some CS and CS:S back in the day, not as much as Day of Defeat. Wish I bought a SOG Pentagon and Cold Steel Oyabun because they were in the original Hitman game by name and likeness.
>>65366683I would love a chisel grind 9 inch carbon blade with a tanto tip.
I am looking for a lightweight neck knife. Any recommendations?
Man I really want this knife with the aluminium scales but there's a ton of complaints about rh M390MK rusting like crazy. How does the M390Mk compare to K390 in terms of rust resistance? Like the K390 on a $100 Spyderco I don't care if it rust but this is a $350 knife.

>>65367368Magnamax and Magnacut had made most knife steels obsolete. Only a few steels like Rex 121 which is no more and maybe Maxamet might out perform it, but only with huge drawbacks. You want to be a Navy Seal? MAGNACUT.You want a good EDC, the best EDC get Magnamax.

>>65366729Anon if youre ever thinking of selling these knives and will be making a powder coated fixed blade I would buy them from you. Also I think it would be awesome if there was a pre-worn or working finish option so people actually would use their knives instead of buying it as a display piece.
>>65366729>They lose the patent this month so anyone can start selling triad lock system soon.Simple crossbar lock is infinitely easier, not to mention you'll skip the teething issues of the gen1 RamLock. Unless you really like the shape and style, in which case, I can't wait to see someone else's interpretation; will be cool!>>65367106The Tanto with a curved top? There's plenty out there; what other specifics do you want on your knife?>>65367368FWIW, the ramlock bit itself isn't M390.There was an anon who was making fixed blades that I was gonna buy from... wonder if he's still doing it.
>>65367865Chisel grind tanto, 7-9 inches fixed and a smaller 3.5 inch foldable.
>>65367262Im making one right now. I keep starting knives and not finishing them thoI wanted a big ass angular ass tanto under 10”
>>65367865There's a bunch of rust on the blade itself as well.
>>65367262Why do you want a chisel grind on a 9” tanto?
>>65368101Why not?
>>65368103I mean I would love something like this but without serrations, 3 inches longer, no belt cutter and a sharper tip .
>>65368113they exist. cold steel has made some and so have a few others. this is the condor yoshimi. commonly sold as a "tanto machete" or similar.
>>65368245This doesn't have the cyberpunk feel.
>>65348450You can DIY with a zip tie.
Germany allows the carrying of fixed blade knives below 12cm blade length (4.7 inches). Somehow finding such blades suitable for knife fighting is rare though.One model I considered: The nicker hunting knife. It is meant to kill small game (mostly roe deer) by thrusting into the neck, so it has a thrust worthy blade. It has a certain hand guard so your hands don't slip. And it is traditional, thematically perfect for use against the very very ungerman people I might have to defend myself against.
>>65368303I wonder if that is why the Peltonen M07 has a 119mm long blade.
>>65368103Fair enough
>>65368266That looks retarded, just Spydie flick it...

>>65356460I hope you die.
>>65368391I keep mine in my butthole, and it rusted in there as well.
>>65368516Should have gotten a Spyderco.
>>65368266The grinds on old Spydercos are so much better than nu-Spydercos.
>a year ago>get into knives>buys a knife>change multiple scales>turns out the scales that works best was the one that came with the knifeI honestly should have known this since the beginning; I did the same shit with my metal sigs(non-ballsdestroying versions) and 1911s.
>>65348541Copper scales?
>>65368852I'm not into modifications. I like to believe my knives were designed by experts who know best.
>>65368952This goes for guns and everything else in the universe. The only thing worth changing to me is only one one brand of guns Glocks, and their shitty plastic sights. Everything else I am happy with stock. Also I need an ACOG for my AR andm LPVO for my Scout Rifle but I don't think those are mods.
>>65354416I always wanted one, so when Amazon had a bogo sale, I was full in. Basiclly 2:1. Never use them, as I have no sacrifice to Satan to make.
>>65368245>condor yoshimi.Gorgeous.
Why would anyone buy more than 1 knife? Explain this to me knife fags
>>65369226You have more than one knife. So, why do you?
>>65369226Just in the kitchen alone you gotta have minimum 3 knives just for proper pleb cooking…
>>65369226Because you shouldn't use the same knife for your serial murders, in case the authorities tie your preferred one to multiple victims, thus establishing a pattern. Use one once, preferably a cheaper one you wouldn't mind losing, then ditch it after skinning the sacrifice and consuming their vital essence.'cuz I like them, duh.

>>65369285>Have you ever fucked more than one girl? no
>>65369283so buy the $150 one?
>>65369292You should get out more. More than one "pocket knife" cn really expnd your perspective on life. It's like having more than one kind of bread in your cupboard. Having different girl's pns can be like that, sometimes you want sourdough, other times dark rye.
>>65348176got a Morakniv 511 today, high carbon. I really like it. Did a forced patina immediately, gonna use it for food prep and maybe take on runs. inox for scale.
(all my other kitchen stuff -- stirrers, trivets, can opener etc, is red silicon or stainless winco. wanted a daily knife to match. $10 for a great knife, y'all spendy niggas retarded)
>>65369387Looks good, I have some I should do, and some I’m not sure about. Pinned micarta or wood handles on polished 80crv2. What medium did you use, and any prep work on the blade?>>65369226Because the next one will be perfect and make me happy.
>>65369413Thanks anon. Washed with nylon brush, tap water and Palmolive to get fingerprint oils off, dried with paper towel. Submerged in Pepsi four hours, washed and dried again, then tarragon vinegar for three hours. Washed and dried, coated with ballistol.
>>65369399if your main cutting tasks are food prep eeb ikea slop will look better, feel better, and perform better. or you can get perfectly serviceable stuff on ebay for $30. or you can get an absolute death-ray for $70-100.I don't want a life where my highest aspiration is meal prep with a glorified pry-bar
>>65369399Yeah but have you had the good stuff before…I got a new sharpener and can get hair splitting edges in minutes. Idk how i lived without have crazy sharp edges and good steel. Good steel just stays better longer. Why brag about being poor? Yeah you can get a car for 2 grand that gets you a to but why be a gay faggot? Why make your life harder to save a tiny amount of money and waste time, money that you will blow on something else “retarded” anyways.
>>65367149>didn't answer the questionAgain: use case IRL?
>>65369294>so buy the $150 oneKnowing the compromise to the lesser model will only make me feel inferior and undermine my self confidence. That's not who I am or how I live my life and is not an option.
>>65368303That thing looks like a butter knife from my kitchent. American
>>65368303Spines on knives have really gone downhill
>>65370389You can like, use it as a knife. Stab people who are stuck in doors.
>>65370389Sits next to my SPAS12, AMT Longslide, 870 Police folder, Desert Eagle, SVT40, and other media influenced retarded purchases.
>>65370507>Sits next to my SPAS12, AMT Longslide, 870 Police folder, Desert Eagle, SVT40, and other media influenced kino purchases.It's not retarded when you have good taste.

Guys, I need a cheap bushcraft/camping/gardening knife. Something I don't have to baby that can cut through pretty thick branches and break them down. Something with decent corrosion resistance and decent edge retention. Narrowed it down to these two, which are relatively close in price.Glock 78 pros/cons:Pro: Made in Austria, tough, can be abused.Con: Made with cheaper spring carbon steel with low HRC of 55, has a bayonet lug which I don't need at all. Terrible edge retention.Cold Steel Recon Tanto pros/cons:Pro: SK5 HRC 65 steel, tough as well but might crack if really abused. No bayonet lug, Con: Made in China/Taiwan so QC is probably lower than the Glock. $37 vs $31 for the Glock.Guys, which of these two should I buy?
>>65370537Cold Steel SRK, or SRKcMora BushcraftMora Amberg
>>65370537>>65370546Stay away from Chinese/Taiwan made knives, they have terrible inconsistent heat treat and use subpar materials. Get the Glock.
>>65370537glock 78. i have that one
>>65370537Cold steel SRK. The glock is a bayonet the blade shape does not lend itself to bushcraft tasks.
>>65370635I don't like the SRK and it is no longer on sale...
>>65370647get the glock faggot
>>65370647The tanto would function better then, thick spine and the grip is better than the glock. Both are firmly in the offensive purpose category rather than bushcraft though.
>>65370514>He buys second rate cope crap instead of saving.Buy once faggot.png
>>65370389 it does bowie things. Also you can run faster while holding it
>>65370713totally disingenuous in this casethe zirc, moku-ti, carbon, and super-high HRC steel look fucking cool but the step-down to a titanium tsuba and more normal steel & grip materials make a more practical knife... insofar as something like this can ever be practical
>>65370389NTA but it seems like it’d be an alright survival knife. It’s full tang, made of 440c, has a built in bottle opener and a sawtooth edge
>>65368097>>65367368All knives eventually rust, but Spyderos rust way worst than Microtech.

>>65371274All that glitters is Magnamax
>>65371274Needs a Case or GEC.
>>65371293I'll trade you a Case for a 250th Anniversary SAK
>>65371363Works, how quick did you have to be to get that?
>>65371372I'm in the USA so I got it from either KnifeCenter or BladeHQ, I didn't feel like it was going to sell out so quick at the time. They advertised the limited quantities at the bottom of the description.
>>65371404I was going to buy from KnifeCenter but never actually saw them in stock.
Pro-Tech Malibu?
>>65369226/out/doorsman here, if you camp or spend much time in the woods it’s nice to have two - a smaller knife you keep sharp and clean for food and a larger knife or hatchet for processing firewood - not to mention tools for woodcarving or skinning game.
>>65368257>>65356977
>>65371658That's retarded anon...
>>65371859I don't know it might be able to cut bread if you tried really hardor...cotton candy?
>>65369399Splurge for a Victorinox or similar $40-ish knife. The cheap Dexter / Huberts are absolute trash steels and they won't hold an edge worth a toss. >>65369226Why do you have different color shirts? >>65370507SPAS12 when? >>65371658I have never in my entire life seen a more retarded knife and that's counting tv shows and movies.
>>65368339Mine isn’t super flicky. The nub is best used to catch on your pocket as you draw. >>65368584I got mine in the mid 90’snand it’s done well. I always leave it in my work pants and the nice Korean dry cleaner would always staple to by hangar.
>>65371900>I have never in my entire life seen a more retarded knife and that's counting tv shows and movies.my algo is on a high roll today, I have at least two others that are that retarded or moreso
>>65371658That is the coolest thin I hae ever seen!
>>65372038Yeah sure, I haven't pickled my liver enough today, whatcha got?
Let me guess, you need more.
>>65372087poikilo al-khemCRKT gravitic flip
Anyone know if a reate gravity blade is legal in California to carry around? I only found some old laws about switchblades that seem to be left over from 1950s greaser shit would police even care?
>>65372131100% illegal to be in possession of it if it exceeds 2 inches. You sound young so maybe you need to hear that ruining your life over a cool gimmick isn't worth it, despite how unlikely it may or may not be to get caught.
>>65372087try this one anon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G37BKWdF3RQ>>65371900eh, i've got plenty already. opinels, k55k, the morakniv, kabar and kabar short, pic related for ornery watermelons, higonokami, couple SAKs, nice Japanese 170mm gyuto for the kitchen. too much desu.
>>65372181>ornery watermelonsgod I hate those
do love me ebony handle opinel 10 effile inox. v elegant.
>>65372190how do you deal with 'em anon
>>65372144Damn that sucks. How do we get that law changed because my brief googling of it says it’s left over from the 1950s stiletto and switchblade lawsAlso what if I just keep it in my house?
>>65371900>I have never in my entire life seen a more retarded knife
>>65372131>>65372245>How do we get that law changed because my brief googling of it says it’s left over from the 1950s stiletto and switchblade lawsThey're trying.https://kniferights.org/legislative-update/9th-cir-denies-rehearing-in-ca-switchblade-case-fiery-dissents/Read the dissent too.

Let's get a little more tastefull itt.Here's my daily carry for the last 10 years. It does knive things and it's unbelieveably sexy.
>>65372293Why can’t they just remove gravity blade from the switchblade definition also which politician do I vote for to get to carry gravity blades
>>65372261>350 american golds
>>65372657But it's a weapon that's slightly more effective than a rich bitch's long-ass nails! Well worth it.
>New York officially repealed its long-standing gravity knife ban in 2019Even nyc lets you carry them why does California have to be so gay

>>65372124>poikilo al-khemThat thing looks like it came straight out of the same genre of movies that gave us the Krull glaive...> CRKT gravitic flipSeen that style before, IMO not quite as weird as the aforementioned. Sucks that certain states / countries have to do this in order to bypass retarded laws from Karens. >>65372181>nice Japanese 170mm gyuto for the kitchenIf you have that you probably don't need another kitchen knife> try this one anon:Peak mallninja. I love it. >>65372261Why...>>65372709Because women literally could not stop themselves from voting for Newsome (and Trudeau) because of their looks rather than their policies. I wish I was making that shit up...

>8crv serrated blade>last three times longer than my s30v straight edgeSomeone make this make sense.
>>65372261Lol I think a fist full of keys would be more effective
>>65372261Did someone watch this movie and felt that it would be a great idea for a knife?
>>65375092>that>not Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver>not Christie in Alien Resurrection
>>65375050This is well known.
>>65375050Heat treatment and edge geometry matter. Serrated will last longer than straight edges for cutting rope and stuff too.
