I saw a blue one today, and while it did not look the rich ROYAL blue as in Walz's pix it wasn't a pastel blue. Couple issues here #1, Certain colors seem to be difficult to accurately photograph, and blue seems to be one of those colors. #2 There is a BIG difference in looking at a pix online vs se...

I have an "off brand" CE and I echo what was mentioned, the PE/SE ratio has to be appropriate. Mine has 75% SE and that is too much for my general use. I don't have enough PE to use. A 50% would be good, but now that it was mentioned, a 33% SE sounds even better as I use the PE most of the...

@mini From a practical point of view, rather than a large folder I recommend that you should get a mid-size Swiss Army Knife (SAK) or a similar boy scout knife. That is what I used when I was in scouting many years ago, and it did everything I wanted it to do. If I had to cut larger pieces of wood, ...

@mini You are WRONG in your statement about it being legal to carry knives in Calif. You need to check the statues in EVERY city and county that you travel (and intend to carry) in, not just the city you live in. - Sunnyvale, Cupertino, San Jose, Morgan Hill, Milpitas, Fremont, Hayward, San Leandro,...

I'm beginning to appreciate the LB for what it is, rather than what I wanted it to be. I understand the compromises of a small knife, but now I need a little help. I don't have arthritis...yet...but holding the LB tight is tricky. The grip is short and small in bulk, so I don't have the length nor b...

Thanks guys.
My SAKs are 2 hand knives to open. I guess I've been spoiled by being able to open my larger knife w one hand, that I was expecting to be able to do the LB w one hand also.

I just got my Ladybug in the mail, and I'm thinking I should have gotten the larger Dragonfly2. Even with my small hands the Ladybug is difficult to open with one hand. I just can't seem to get a decent grip on the grip. Or I am just doing it wrong, or is it really a 2-hand opening knife. I got the ...

They replace a butter knife dull steak knife with an equally butter knife dull steak knife. So, I sometimes take a small diamond sharpening rod with me. Give me a DULL knife and I will insult them by sharpening THEIR knife for them. When I bought the sharpening rod and told the guys in the store why...

hmmm So another option is to keep the little Victornox pen knife and pair it up with the mid-size DrangonFly2 with a plain edge. That keeps the "cute" knife for general office use. People are amused when I open the little scissors on the Victornox. As you guys said, at some point I probabl...

I like LOW visibility colors (black or gray, for me) for most purposes. But for other uses, like camping, work site, etc. I like a HIGH visibility color, so I can find it after I put it down. :-( The problem I have with colors in general is that I may like or NOT like a color based on how the color ...

I need help with your experience with the knives I am considering for a 2 knife EDC set, #1 primary carry; either a Delica4 or Dragonfly2 #2 secondary carry (but probably primary use); Ladybug My primary question is on knife #1 - Primary consideration is of course budget. I would like to hold out fo...

Are these in addition to Black or to replace black?
None of my preference is listed, I would prefer:
- black + black blade
- black + std silver blade
- gray + std silver blade
