Topic: Flippers with CBBL or Compresion Lock
Replies: 19

Maybe a BBL or CBBL would work? The flipper would have to stay in front of the ball bearing though? Perhaps the ball bearing would ride along the edge of the flipper, meaning the flipper would have to have an arc -- might make a nice looking guard once the blade was deployed. However, I think that w...

I've always thought that the original stainless handled Rescue model would be great with an H-1 blade as well.

I like the idea of a hawkbill. For those of you that voted for the HB, are you thinking of a blade more like a Spyderhawk (long, sweeping edge) or a Superhawk (shallow, straighter edge)? Regarding the Reverse S profile, if selected, I would want the blade to be longer than a SPOT or Dodo but smaller...

The authentic Domino also doesn't have a detent hole going through the lockbar since it also has a steel interface.

Perhaps challenge this person to remove all knives or cutting instruments larger than their perceived required length from their own daily lives? See how they cope with harvesting sustenance or cooking a meal for themselves. Knives as tools are still requisite in today's "modern" society.

The large needlefish have very white meat and are surprisingly delicious. Filet those and fry them in olive oil and seasoning. The snapper we bake whole with a spicy olive oil and onion sauce I make. The eggs are already gone. My girlfriend loves them even more than I do! :) Do you eat the eggs raw...

I still maintain we need something in Shirogami White-1 (White FRN would be awesome). Then we'd have the Japanese white and blue steels covered...and Shirogami White-1 is the hardest steel made by Hitachi, though it's not as tough as SuperBlue. I think it would make the ideal companion to the Super...

According to ZKnives' data, it looks that way.
