To me, and I like the Case canoe pattern, the second (or closed) blade almost always ruins the grip ergonomics. I do like the concept, it just rarely comes off well.

On knives I carry for outdoor activities that aren't already hi-viz (e.g., a Salt with yellow handle), I put a loop of blaze orange paracord through the lanyard hole to make it easier to find the knife when I inevitably drop it in the underbrush. So I do use the lanyard hole some times.

I dyed my Salt the most unfortunate shade of pea green. Here's my unfortunate plum purple with and odd hint of brown Yojumbo scales. The color was supposed to be "smokey blue"--that's probably why there's a little brown in it--but I mixed the dye too strong, which was especially foolish o...

At this rate we might as well talk politics…. I think an awesome thread just got trashed.

Unfortunately, there is no shop near me so anything I buy is site unseen.

As you can see, you are quickly recommended nearly the entire catalog.

Best to find a retailer with a wide selection near you…. Then you will at

I got a pm… he has legitimate reasons for his post. Let’s cut some slack and help the dude. He is only trying to learn…. We all started some where…

Just wondering… What is your “part of the knife community?”… not being rude, just trying to understand where this coming from…

Been rock’n the S110v for quite awhile now…. You guys are missing out…

…..Now The Chaparral slip joint - that’s the one we all want and need….

We all want?… who is we?… oh, wait… you mean, you want.

One can dream…. However, as you know, the UKPK is pretty close. If you overlay them, they are very close in all dimensions. Anything is possible… a nested G10 UKPK would be more likely.

I wonder…. Is it the full moon, or the coming eclipse?
