Re: Military 2 Discussion (Merged)




... I will say I will miss the linerlock. The Military linerlock may just be my favorite lock. So convenient and your hand is already where it needs to be to close. No shifting of the grip really. It is so well executed with a tight lock up.

Well said.

I wonder if people will miss ...

Re: Knife & Watch




If anyone sees any good deals on super thin, full number dial field watches please let me know. I'm still on the hunt for the perfect watch that doesn't exist.


How thin of a case and quartz or mechanical?


I'm really trying to find 10mm or less, which I can find but then the cost is out ...

Re: Spyderco Siren CF/S90v Sprint…In The Wild!

Been a while since I last posted, but felt compelled to commend Lance and Spyderco on a great knife in the Siren. A real shame it has been discontinued.

Tight finances have mostly kept me out of the knife collecting game in recent years, but I picked up the regular siren a while back to take ...

Re: Spyderco C204GP Pattada, Any interest?

I must say that as a fan of traditional knives this one really spoke to me. I think it is my favourite out of this year's catalogue. Sal did a really great job on the design - really captured the spirit of the knife and spyderco.
Hopefully there will be a scaled down version in the next couple of ...

Re: Sal what are the longterm Caly plans?


The only negative things I've heard of Moki was the lack of a laser to cut the holes, which lead the Caly to need a laminated blade. Also, the detent mis-aligning on the Starmate.
there were few more comments/observations about Moki. Gritty actions on Calys within last few years. Also Kopas, Moki ...

Schempp bowie for me, a great re-interpretation of a classic knife. Let's hope for for Schempp barlow or sodbuster in 2017!!!

Re: Any love for the Kiwi 4?

I'm loving my kiwi 4. Big fan of the original and this one is great. The handle especially is super comfy and thin.
I wonder if the handle design could work with a blade shape with the bit of belly? A nice long thin clip or drop point!!

I love my leatherman crunch. It came down to That or the skeletool and with all the car work i do, the locking pliers sold it for me. I ruled out the Wave and surge as being too bulky for me.

I concur, had multiple multitools but the crunch is by far my favorite, the locking pliers are excellent ...
