Re: Where Have all the Calys Gone?

https://i.ibb.co/Jkm6hfq/PXL-20231117-045343706-NIGHT.jpg This one for the past few weeks...after a regrind it really is the ideal EDC blade. I wish that the bearings* would have been properly figured before releasing the Mantra 1 & 2...that was a giant wet blanket burdened upon two potentially...

Very nice! That Persian 2 is super tempting, it's a beautiful blade.

Re: River's Edge PM2

That's a ridiculous take for a 3.5" folding knife...I love tool steels as much as the next fella, but saying there is something inherently wrong with well heat-treated M390/204P/20CV in an EDC folder is just asinine. I look forward to all of the forthcoming evidence showing that the M390 class ...

Re: Custom Chaparral LW Micarta Scales!

Hi folks, I have an update on my black linen scale set adventure... Wow, that's a real bummer, but thank you for sharing your experience! I just checked and I too have the pre-CQI version, I would have been very frustrated after having put in the time and effort to finish the scales to then have th...

Re: Chaparral LW SE

Nice picture. I feel like Taichung, Golden & Seki's serrations are all distinctive, with Seki being the most aggressive, followed by Golden, and Taichung being the most subtle. Moki gets the award for most snaggled, LOL! If you ignore the snaggletooth portion of the Masa Ayoob blade, the Moki s...

Re: Chaparral LW SE

What are the wavy serrations? Here is one guess. See this comparison between Caribbean, Endura 4, and Pac Salt 2. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53272588398_6969673918_c.jpg Compared with the Endura and Pac Salt, the peaks/valleys are much shallower on the Caribbean. So, the Caribbean SE is mo...

Re: What do you view as the main grip on these types of knives?

If a knife has a usable choil, I utilize it at least 90% of the time...even when just using the tip with my index finger along the spine my middle finger is in the choil. ETA: If I didn't like or use choils, I wouldn't buy knives that had them. The wasted blade would drive me crazy; overly large ric...

Re: Knife trends you just don't understand?

I fail to understand --- Titanium frame-lock knives that lack a wear-reducing steel cap on the titanium lock-bar Steel lock bar inserts. Unnecessary in a properly constructed titanium frame lock :shush CRK has been successfully building frame-locks without a lock-bar insert for over 30 years. Don’t...

Re: Lil' Native Backlock lock-up changed, extreme lockstick

If it were me...I would disassemble, clear any debris, clean all parts with alcohol, check fitment & lock-up then reassemble with a very thin coat of oil and a dab of blue thread locker on each screw. If it turns out that you find a problem with one of the parts, then you will know that you need...
