Re: The Magnacut Paramilitary 2
I do not have plans to replace the clip on the PM2 Salt. I figure the extra pocket retention is a good thing for the beach or outdoors, so I can live with it. That shallow MXG ti clip is a drop-in replacement for the OEM spoon clip on the PM2, Manix, Delica, Endura etc. I have one on the Swayback an...

Re: Military 2 Discussion (Merged)
The Cruwear M2 has landed on my doorstep. My example is pretty much perfect...
I've already put it to work, but I'm keeping it tip-down for now while I form an opinion.

Re: Benchmade Water Series (salt series?)
I'm getting out the popcorn for the inevitable head-to-head tests against the Salt knives in Magnacut.
Curious about:
- blade hardness
- edge retention
- corrosion resistance of the BM hardware and spring
- corrosion resistance of BM stonewashed blade
Competition is good.

Re: Gayle Bradley 2 CQI?
In my opinion the lock access is not an issue, assuming that you don't have lock stick! I bought a very lightly used GB2 a few years ago when they were very hard to find new, and rumours were that the model had been silently discontinued. When it arrived I realised why it was sold. It had terrible l...

Re: Victorinox going bladeless
I think Victorinox is chasing an untapped market and revenue, which makes sense from a business perspective. I’m disappointed however how they phrased the news.They basically agreed with the loonies that a Swiss Army Knife is a weapon, instead of a tool. They could have communicated this a lot bette...

Re: Community Sharpening Journal
Resetting the bevels of our kitchen knives with the Tormek. I'm still mastering the technique, but I'm quite pleased with how easily I could get a uniform and clean edge on all of them. I have not been brave enough to take on pocket knives yet. Soon! Coarse, fine, extra fine diamond, leather wheel w...

Re: Gayle Bradley 2 CQI?
My Cruwear is acceptable, but the older M4 GB2 was not. I enlarged the detent hole slightly which fixed it completely.
I think there is room for improvement at the Taiwan factory wrt stronger detents. They are outstanding in all other areas.

Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???
Grease and dirt? Starting to rain? Time to pull out the GEC Northfield Un-X-Ld 735208 Trapper in Almond Bone. Great feel, high spring tension, good working knife. 🙂 Beautiful! I recently bought a GEC #23 Pioneer Trapper, the larger version of the #73, in what they call "woodland micarta"....

Re: Why is the Kapara so overlooked ?
I skipped the Kapara, based on looks… The open and closed profiles do not appeal to me, both the handle shape and drop point blade shape. I also prefer a negative blade angle, and this design goes the other way.
It is a popular design so I must be missing something!

My K390's. Most were aqcuired after the wharnies and serrated edges were discontinued at the end of 2023. One of each model are users.

Re: Lost my Military 2
Sorry to hear that mate. Check your car seat belt too, it sometimes snags a pocket clip.
