I went ahead and got a satin version since I missed it last time around.
The DLC version was sold out and in most circumstances I avoid coated blades but I gotta say the DLC does look pretty nice with the orange scales.

I have had my m390 lw p3 for a week now and I really love this version a lot but it has to be the most slippery frn knife I have owned. I’ve dropped it 3 times while trying to close it. I probably wouldn’t have this problem if I wasn’t a lefty and had to switch the clip but I think the solution is t...

Being a lefty it really doesn’t matter to me as it will get moved regardless.

I can’t believe that the LW Native still has a hourglass clip yet the LW Manix 2 has a wire clip.

The Native is a perfect knife for the wire clip.

I just got my Urban in AEB-L the other day and I am liking it a lot. The action is a bit stiffer than my K390 one and that is not a big deal. It will smooth out with use I am sure. The grind is a bit off from side to side but that is normal and that is usually the first thing I fix on all new knives...

A Manix XXL is an outstanding idea!!!

These are my 3 latest traditional knives, a GEC 06 with blue jigged bone, a GEC 29 in acrylic, and a Queen Heritage Jack with wood covers.

All of these are excellent in terms of craftsmanship and they all slice things up very well.

Just finished touching up my Tenacious and Hap40 Delica on a Kohetsu 2K stone.

thanks guys!!! I hope our other missing members are well and healthy and will soon come back to report

It's two for Tuesday!

Glad to see you back and that things are well.
You always have the nicest knife pics.

I ended up with 2 V Toku Delicas and only one of them has the strange font.
Both were bought at reputable dealers so I am not concerned with the fake issue.

I kinda like the look of the odd lettering.

Right now I drive a 5 speed VW Passat.
My first car was a 75 Dodge Dart and my favorite car was my 68 Fury III, I’m 6’ and I could stretch out and lie down in the back seat.

Not to get away from the spirit of the thread, but does anyone listen to replays of the old radio shows? I know, in my neck of the woods, that AM 900 out of Toronto broadcasts them from around 9 pm on. Nights are the only time I can pick it up. I love the old radio programs. The Shadow, Dragnet, Su...

Dragnet was way ahead of its time imo. I’m talking about the 50’s version though. It really set the baseline for police procedural shows. Given the time period the acting was excellent also. If you have never seen the 50’s version check out “The Big Cast” with Lee Marvin playing a serial killer. As ...

Nevermind the fancy steels, I want partially serrated! Yes, I know I am in the minority, but the all Stainless versions get it, and I do not like the lack of grip on those. It would be great to see a partial serrated blade on the VG10 and K390 versions, for ZDP I would stick with a plain edge. I lo...

Good read.
Yes tailgating then braking causes the “accordion effect “ which slows traffic for no good reason.

I definitely want to get one of the Byrds with the wave feature.
Actually the Dragonfly with the wave looks slick too.

The thing that gets me is excessive braking on the highway.
Even in heavy but moving traffic I can usually go my entire ride, 20 or so miles, without touching my brakes.

It seems like people don’t realize that letting off the accelerator slows the vehicle.

I like to carry my Cara Cara and Meadowlark hawkbill at work and I find the steel to be very good for the price.

Using high end steel on the Byrd line doesn’t make much sense to me.
I would be happy with any steel as long as it is treated well.

At first I didn’t care for the wire clip but over the years it has become my preferred type clip.

I really wish the LW Native transitioned over to the wire clip and really most of the frn models would look and carry better with it.

I am excited about the Para3 lw.
Pretty sure I will go with the serrated version when they drop.

A lightweight Military would be a great idea.
I’m sure a liner lock would work fine with frn scales.
