Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???

Got the Benchmade 940-1 in the mail today 😃 Don't have much experience with Benchmade (4th one) but was happy to find it was very well tuned out of the box. No blade play, nicely centered and good action. I still have the classic 940 on my list, just one of those knives that I think any real collec...

Re: Recommendations for a European traditionalist

Welcome, Bernhard!

I would echo Sal here, however I would add that the Native 5 is an excellent alternative to the Delica if you prefer something made in the United States.

Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2024 Report

15V Millie 2 is pretty sweet, not going to lie. May be the closest I ever get to a K390 Millie 2.

Should still have time to buy the Crucarta first, though.

Re: Seki City back lock quality in 2022?

I love Spydercos knives but I don't feel like you made a fair comparison. edit: lol, just noticed how old this post was of yours.... Ehhhhh I stand by it. To be fair, I should mention that the comparison is about 15 years old. I used to sell them side by side with Spyderco in college, and at that p...

Re: Weird streaks/scratch in DLC?

Yeesh.

DLC is some tough stuff, but you can still grind it off. It looks like your sharpener laid it down on a belt sander or buffing wheel and started taking the dlc off.

Can’t put it back on easily.

Re: Sal, Zoomer help please

Sharpening a convex knife isn’t too bad, especially if you don’t have to fix a chip. You put some sand paper on a leather strop or mousepad and go to town.

If you’re more of a fixed-angle guy KME makes a convex attachment.

Re: Knipex tools )))

I have the 7" Cobras, but unfortunately can't find them right now. I last remember having them while installing a trailer hitch on my car. Come to think of it, that was the last time I saw my Olight, too. Hmm.... I don't think I need to EDC one, but the small ones are cute. I'd like a 10" ...

Re: Sal, anything you´d like to share on the Golden made BACKLOCK Polestar? (Another "handle forward" knife?)

Wasn’t the Lil’ Native offered as a back lock, comp lock, and slipjoint?

I would think that Lil’ Native sales might give a good indication of the market’s preferences.

Think I lost my Baton 3, so I bought this one a few weeks ago. Still feels a little off, and the case is bigger, but I like the charging capability. I feel like the turbo isn’t quite as bright anymore.
