Box cutter

I think some guys would kill me for my opinion, but a machete should be low maintenance. I should be able to sharpen it in the jungle with a stone or cheap file.
I do not see that option for SE...

If so, both, PE and SE should be made...

Microjimbo S30V uncoated blade is on sale at many dealers, e.g. boker.de

Benchmade Mini Griptilian Thumbhole

good size and nice for fidgeting

Awesome sharpness out of the box.
Superb sharpening solutions.

Italy should be quite liberal, but in tourist areas it might be different.
In museums, jewish churches, ... you might not be allowed to carry any knife.
I would not use the clip but deep carry it in the pocket, jacket or bag.

Swiss army knife would be the general choice as it is well known. Opinel ...

Catcherman should have a pretty thin blade as well.

I have the Wolfspyder and thanks to a good buddy now also the Rhino.

The compression lock closing does not work well because of double detent (Wolf) and missing blade mass (Rhino).

The ergos scream liner lock.
My thumb always wants to engage the non existing liner because its naturally falls in ...

The font size seems to be smaller as before.
I am using iOS on the phone.
On top I also have a black 1,5 inch empty space.

I think it did not sell well.

It should be a true user. Maybe coming in a package of 2. One for using and one for the safe. Not too expensive might help.

Inspired by "Another run of Whale Rescue blade is needed."

Would be cool to see a Spyderco Machete.
I have a CRKT one but only used once in the garden.

My requirements:
#) Good sheath (incl storage for a gauntlet diamond rod or a small metal ...

Thanks for the insights, Sal.
It's much appreciated.

Personally, I like the Mule.
Making it smaller yourself is a good option and done quite easy.

Which folder will be the first one in HIC?

(list below might be wrong as it is to my best knowledge / memory)
Spy27: Para 3 lightweight
LC200N: UKPK (edit: Native 5 lightweight is wrong)
HIC: ???

I used diamond plates to form an edge all the way back to the choil.
Originally there is an unsharpened part of a few mm.

I do it mainly at my users and quite quick and dirty. With the sharpmaker you do not reach completely to the end anyways.

Hi and welcome.
Hope it was cheap.

I recommend a Dragonfly.
If you want something bigger a Tenacious.
And a sharpmaker to keep them sharp (including kitchen knives as well)

I noticed my kitchen scissors does not cut cling film anymore.
Remembering the side slot of the Sharpmaker is made for scissors so I gave it a try.
With the brown and fine rods. But a little improvement but not much.
Then a few strokes on the diamonds and it cut through like a laser.

The Sharpmaker ...

Pingo would be nice.
Chaparral as well.

NOT in all EU countries it's NOT allowed to carry a one-hand open PLUS locking folder.

The sharp edges helps at deploying it.
I have a Spyderco with smooth edges which is more of a struggle to deploy.

I would keep the edges sharp or smoothen it only a TINY bit. Better less than more.

If you have special interests hobbies or need to solve a computer issue you will learn quickly that you find much more information in English than in e. g. German language.

English is quite easy to learn, and in business very important and nowadays necessary.

I am glad we lil native ;-) speakers ...

My FOMO stopped as I was not allowed to purchase a new exclusive from the dealer because they do not ship internationally.
And I do not support flippers other than knives and dolphins.

This stopped the drive to get new knives.
I still buy new ones but seldom and I do not move mountains to get it.
