Agree with dbcab, it's solid. It's my favorite sheeple carry for the office.

I drink wine every day, but I almost never use a blade to cut off the foil. I use one of the dedicated foil cutters that uses a few cutting wheels, like this one . (Not that exact one; I only pointed to that as an example.) The foil cutter I use makes it incredibly easy, and is safer than a blade e...

As I was reading your post I was thinking Sage as well..and then you mentioned it. Fits the requirements you are looking for: S30V, smaller and friendlier than the Manix2. And is available with a similar (not the same) lock that you are used to. Manix2 has the ball bearing, while the Sage3 has the b...

I totally agree with you on the Urban value. It's a great little folder but so expensive. But there are so few products that fill that window that the Urban does...non-locking, one hand opener, 3.5" closed (disappears), 2.25" of cutting edge, great ergo's with the choil and thin so as to n...

Infinite, sorry, my sarcasm did not carry through very well in my post...I was trying make fun of the Pingo as it's the only one that's different in that it has no choil...like getting a picture taken with your in-laws and they all look the same except for you who looks different from the rest...

Infinite Zero, nice comparison picture. I like that you opened them all and showed the clips. I see you are a lefty...at least I think you are judging by where the clips are placed. That Pingo clip is really skewed compared to the Urban and Squeak. I never really noticed that in any other pics. Do y...

Cheddarnut, nice write up. I'm waiting for it to get back in stock at Howes. How does it rest in the pocket? (i.e. does it pretty well disappear and take up little real estate?) Would you mind measuring the diameter of the miniature spyder hole please (in millimeters if possible); and the distance f...

MarcusH, Thank you!
Shakyamuni, would you mind updating the list with the G-10 info and perhaps add "2" and "FRN" to the existing Dragonfly on the list to represent the Dragonfly 2 in FRN.
Thank you.

Great thread. Thanks Shakyamuni for getting this posted. Definitely fills a specification void. I'm looking for the handle thickness for a G-10 Dragonfly 2. I know there are a bunch of folks out there with this knife; would anyone be so kind as to post a measurement per Shakyamuni's notes? Thanks in...

Blub, I don't really have a mail related story but just wanted to add that your Kopa is a beauty. I am finding that my favorite knives are smaller (3" or less) and have the fore finger choil built into the blade (i.e. Kopa, Caly Jr., Caly 3, Cricket). Talk about ergonomic. :D It really makes it...

A good comparison is the BRG Delica 4 ZDP with skeletonized liners. It weighs 71 grams or 2 1/2 ounces. I used this same comparison when I was expecting my Jr....but when I received it, and maybe it's just me, that half ounce less makes the Jr feel as light as paper. I'm really glad they brought ba...
