Industrial welding station demo for the last week. Today with a fresh edge, the REX45 Chief performed better than a sawzall. Slicing through over 600ft. of welding shade material. It's not shaving but it still cuts paper.

C90 Stretch

Still one of my favorites Reject.

For a recent hike, I had planned to take the Native Chief, but even clipped , it poked my leg so uncomfortably (when stepping upward, as in scrambling over rocks) it got bounced, and a Manix replaced it. Nothing wrong with the design, just the length of it.


I did a 50 miler this summer with the ...

May I ask why you can't use clips any more? Some work rule?

Have to set the example as management, and I can't afford a repaint on $30k paint job.

Interesting topic and one I will try to be as objective as possible in answering.

Much like the OP, the Manix 2 was one of those knives I first opened and immediately knew "this thing is solid". That love and confidence is why I still love this model but if I review my pocket time, I haven't ...

As a rule, the way I have always understood it was that for most rifles, longer barrels allow the pressures to exert more force on the projectile. This does affect both accuracy as well as projectile energy. The decision between short and long barrels is much like that between knife steels, a ...

I know handle shapes, contours, thicknesses and textures are all subjective, but i miss the thinness of some of the oldies. We typically consider the FRN mid-locks to be thin, but it is all relative.


Agreed. My first money goes toward thinner handles, if they're available.


Fast forward a ...

This question is somewhat subjective.

If you purchased such a knife for your friend, you obviously thought enough of them to give a quality tool. I'm sure you can convey the quality and purpose of this tool to him. Who knows, you may convert him because he's never owned a quality knife.

So many colorful submissions this week. Sharp competition

Ok, next "collection" (Sorry longtime members for the reruns)
The Calypso Jr's including the CX-04S Experimental..


Don't apologize. The Caly Jr is still one of my favorite lightweight designs from Sal. I have every interaction with the exception of the experimental. Thank you for sharing them ...

Still showing availability so they aren't flying off the shelf. I still may pick one up as I've always liked the design

Even though I've heard great things about the Military 2 I still have a special love for the original Millie. A few years back I got a user M390 version in a trade and it turned out to be one of my top 3 best user/EDCs of all time. Now my Cruwear C-60 Ayoob gets most of my user time.

Many of the ...

Careful what you wish for.. :) I could go on for days!
Like the Jess Horns, amazing knives, fit and finish like Grand Seikos .

Always a joy to see this array of Horns. Even the baby ones.

Well done. I really enjoy seeing others do this as rejuvenating an old find is one of the joys if this hobby for me personally.
