Dyad Salt, H1 Serrated, LC200N plain

ceese,

Thank you for that very well written, and very good story.

I too have lost a knife with sentimental value. It too thankfully found me again. I can empathize and relate.

I am happy for you and appreciate you sharing!

Rust is the oxidation of iron. The oxidation is the chemical reaction between oxygen and the iron molecules in the steel. It is accelerated by the presence of water (or water vapor). Soil and dirt act like a sponge and can retain the moisture (water), which can accelerate the rust. So does dirt caus...

Dyad Salt, FRN, light weight. The ultimate tackle box knife.

I’ve been lobbying for a Dyad Salt for a decade. I’d settle LC 200N over H1

I started working on this post and Holland beat me to it by minutes. I'll attempt to freeze mine and we should stick with Holland's I began my 2018 list without reference to my previous lists. Then I saw I left out the PITS, and had to keep it in there, so I had to drop the Des Horn, which made me c...

Congratulations! Wish you and your family the best!!!

I’d bring the Chaparral because it is the smallest and be the least likely to be noticed while in wedding clothes.

I use fobs on small knives to effectively extend the grip, as well as help in one hand opening. I think all knives should have a lanyard hole, if this is what you're getting at. +1 I agree with this! My most carried knives of the Dragonfly or smaller variety all have fobs. Nothing larger than my De...

Knife Squirrel... I think you just coined a new term. I too am a knife squirrel.

Brian, the DF Salt is perhaps my most carried. Enjoy
it as I do mine! Congrats!

I love my wife, bless her heart. She puts up with my knife addiction. She routinely asks for a knife, knowing I’ll hand her one with a smile on my face. But if I’m not around she’ll grab whatever is on my dresser. She’s learned compression locks, back locks, Reeve integral locks, liner locks, and ev...

Less potential for car scratches, less of a hot spot creator, and deeper carry, all lead me to prefer the wire clip ... by a very large margin!

1) Dragonfly Salt SE
2) Southard
3) Slysz Bowie
4) Caly 3 (preferably in Hap40)
5) Techno
6) Sharpmaker

A Kopa, if you can find one, is my strongest recommendation. Despite the Kopa rec, a Bradley Air is my most carried in a suit.

For me, it's good the wire clip isn't on every light weight knife. For instance, if the new Jess Horn had a wire clip, I might have found the perfect knife and not try to find the next one...for a while, at least. I definitely carry my wire-clipped knives the most, but I prefer the small to mid-size...

Thanks!

I didn't realize that collecting was looked down upon (I'm new here obviously) ... :) In my opinion there is nothing wrong with collecting. There does seem to be a more vocal respect held here for folks who use their knife. From what I've seen: Flipping for a profit and bragging about it---definite...

Spend the $300 on the Slysz while you have it. It's that nice. Plus it'll be far easier to justify the $160 on the mantra later.
