I think the latter two looks more oriented towards high-value merchandises, e.g. watches, jewelries, electronics, etc. The automated protections on the other hand, ought to be interesting. Because we community members are essentially doing the same tasks as these AIs, given proper sample size and ap...

IMG_20190225_230313.jpg Here are some extra higher quality pictures.please help.... The grind line looks very suspicious to me, won't be surprised if that's even hand ground. Screws feel too crude to be authentic as well. I have never on any Golden Colorado models spotted such a sloppily executed r...

All pictured parts looks authentic. Judging from the wear on the blade and scales, as well as lube marks around standoffs, I would lean towards the opinion that its parts have been swapped around before turned into a user. I did the same myself to two Para 2s that I now have already sold. I'd very m...

In the description, it says "Condition: Used" "Modified Item: Yes" But someone may not see that. I actually had this exact listing on my eBay feed page the other day. As you mentioned, "Condition: Used", "Modified Item: Yes". But in description, "Conditi...

OK, I am into a few shots of whiskey at the moment. What I would like to know is: what 3V edge retention is comparable to in stainless (what I am most familiar with) for slicing use only - field dressing animals, cleaning trout, cutting cardboard and packaging tape and such (not trying to slice bra...

https://i.imgur.com/of0cKBQ.jpg Dang do these Casey Lynch scales make me envy! Had been scouring through the Internet in the past few years, all I was able to lay my hands on are those made for PM2. This fact combined with existing Nishijin R at a relatively acceptable price have been holding me up...

BladeHQ have some Allen Putman G-10 scales for Military in stock right now.
<https://www.bladehq.com/?search=allen+putman+military>

This style is as close as to stock scales that I can find readily available.

I see no signs indicating it to be a fake.
Lanyard tube, laser marking, edge of scale, lock tab, screws, clip all looks legit.
Amazon has excellent customer service for what you pay them, but yeah I would agree that cutlery purchases are quite risky there, unless with reputable 3rd party sellers.

The only way that we've found is to have a metallurgical testing lab do a chemical analysis. Expensive, but accurate. sal That isn't entirely true. A PMI, with a quality analyzer, can give you a pretty accurate breakdown of the element content. If those particular alloys are in the library, the dat...

Won't see it plausible for Spyderco in the foreseeable future. Spyderco's manufacturing lines aren't as concentrated nor interchangeable like Benchmade or Leatherman, the two current major cutlery brands offering such services on limited models. Shipping, heat-treating, machining exotic steels in ex...

For a folding option, maybe Janisong, C191GP would be a good start. The blade is fully contained when closed, and it's restricted item anyways. Might be tricky to lay hands on though. You're probably right. But it's not what I'm looking for. I'm dreaming of a double edge symmetrial blade and symmet...

For a fixed blade option, the easiest solution is to just sharpen the swedge of Fish Hunter, FB40SYL. It already sports a symmetrical spear point blade with hollow ground on each side. For a folding option, maybe Janisong, C191GP would be a good start. The blade is fully contained when closed, and i...

I get the feeling this isn't legit. This is the sellers pic. https://i.imgur.com/GZltsgu.jpg?1 I tried to google a Camo Karahawk so I could make a fair offer but doesn't seem to be any Camo ones out there. There never has been a Digi-camo version of Karahawk in fact, only the all-steel and the new ...

Fluted or contoured? https://i.imgur.com/6dmhW6gh.jpg I'd take fluted over contoured in the case of PM2 to be honest. I mean, contouring surely looks nice with most Taichung knives (in fact lots of them are contoured); the difference is most their screws are pan/oval head, unlike PM2's countersunk....

A brand new one with a perfect box is very, very, very hard to find since it was a distributor exclusive run like 7 years ago. Plus the only thing it's special for is just the orange peel-ply G10; the blade steel is just ordinary S30V. If you are not just looking for the color that I once did, I wou...

The Techno 1 is, to me, a wonderfully quirky design. That massive overbuilt little beast still cuts like many much more ‘dainty’ knife designs. The Techno 2, was noticeably thinner. Although I appreciate the new blade profile and bright green anodized stand-offs, I’m not sure yet I like the thinner...

Today’s dynamic duo.

I like what I can see of that PM2. Would you be able to share better pics of it?

A "Stretch"ed PM2, right?

Buck also makes the Ranger 112 (7.62 cm) in S30V and Micarta, or 5160 (both available at copperandclad.com); D2 (skblades.com). I offer this because of any blade length restrictions. Yup. Now I really start to understand Boker's strategies in their folder department -- so many of them are slip join...
