I saw the Gray Robin 2 on the 2024 Discontinued Knives list so I thought I better grab one. Glad I did. I was a bit apprehensive about the latest bi-directional handle design because my other FRN Robins are all the older versions. When I got this one in my hands, I asked myself what the heck I was t...

I've been rotating my Robins for the last few weeks. Such a great little knife!

Thanks Sal. And I wholeheartedly agree!

Thanks John!

I ended up getting one. You all knew that was going to happen didn't you? :D Anyway, it arrived today and I like it. Each version has its advantages and I can see that this Titanium version is going to take some getting used to. I knew it wouldn't have the slip-free grip of the FRN and G10 models bu...

I just checked my posting history and it's been over 2 1/2 years since I posted on this forum. My goodness. Where does the time go? Anyway, I've owned 5 Byrd Robins for 8 or 10 years and I've been enjoying them very much. Really a great knife. I have 3 FRN, 1 G10, and 1 stainless steel. All of mine ...

I absolutely won't carry a pen that isn't retractable. Not a chance, I don't care how nice it is, you could give me a solid platinum Hinderer pen and I'd just sell it. Two handed pens are right there with two handed knives and just have no place in my life lol. That said, I've carried a Boker Cal ....

I like the looks of the Chubby but I'm so happy with my Techno that I don't even want anything else.

I took My Techno apart this morning. Cleaned and lubed it and put it back together. It didn't really need it but I couldn't resist the urge. As some of you mentioned, it was a very simple process. Honestly, I don't know how it could have been any easier. The process did give me a better understandin...

Thanks for the advice folks. I'm pretty sure I can handle the task. Then again, I once thought I would never get fat. :) My Techno is pretty much brand new so I won't be taking it apart anytime soon. I'll have some time to decide whether or not to take the risk. I removed the pocket clip and I carry...

Thanks. That's pretty much what I was thinking too. I guess I'm concerned about getting it put back together properly.

Thanks for the pic, Studey! Looks pretty straightforward.

I recently received a NIB Techno. Great knife! I'm absolutely thrilled with this little brute.

The knife is fine with no issues but I'm wondering, for future reference, if it can be disassembled for cleaning and lubing.

Thanks.

I don't know about anybody else but I prefer the larger photo. I would stick with that and forget about PicsArt.

I don't think I could name one single person that disliked Andy Griffith. Never heard a negative comment about him in all my life.

May he rest in peace.

I've been carrying a Maratac AAA on my keychain for a couple of years and it has served me well. Mine has the matte finish like the one in this pic but they are now available in stainless steel, copper, and black if I remember correctly.

Nice little light with low, medium, and high beams.

Haven't been riding a whole lot this year but I made up for it over the weekend.

2004 FLHR. Rode up to J&P Cycles in Anamosa, Iowa and stopped to visit a friend in Tipton. 552 miles total for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

We had perfect weather and lots of fun. Back at work today.

was not prepared for the instant torque -WOW didnt do very well at turning either -lol i guess thats why its called learning- kinda wondering if i should have went smaller for a first bike 96 cubes has some juice Don't worry. By season's end you'll be glad you didn't go smaller. You'll get used to ...

Thanks for the information! I'll probably pick up a buffer from HF, but where did everyone purchase their paper wheels/compounds? I got mine from Grizzly. The buffer in my pics above was purchased from HF. Total cost with shipping for both products was $98 and some change. Edit: Looks like Tony bea...

I've been using Paper Wheels exclusively for about three years or so. It took me longer than most people to get the hang of it and I'm still learning. My problem was/is much the same as rodloos's. I can get my knives sharp, no doubt about it, but I am striving for the perfect looking edge. I get luc...

I think Joe summed it up pretty good. Not much more I can add but I do like Case's stainless. There isn't anything special about it but it's more than acceptable for a traditional pocket knife. I would like to see some more Case knives with a satin blade finish. Right now the only way to get that is...
