I don't have any of the later version - for those who have both, even though it's hard or impossible to tell the difference in absolute weight, can you feel a difference in balance (weight in the hand vs. blade weight)? Honestly, I didn't pay any attention to how the knives balanced in my hand. I h...

I've had both versions, and I'm also used to heavier folders like a Buck 110/112 and Emersons. When carrying and using them, I didn't notice any difference in the two GBs. My kitchen scale would no doubt list one as two-tenths of an ounce lighter than the other, but my hands and pocket couldn't tell...

I have said practically word for word everything you just said. I would EDC the crap out of a VG10 Caly 3, and that's saying a lot because i'm a big ZDP fan...i just can't bring myself to really use a CF knife. I just haven't warmed up to the Caly 3.5 yet. I agree with both the G10 Caly 3 as EDC an...

FWIW, my large and small Sebenzas each appear to have full contact along these surfaces, just like my Sage 2. Of course, the tangs are angled in the other dimension to allow for seating of the lock bar, but the surfaces shown in the OP's picture match up straight. This is difficult to describe. :co...

G10 and carbon fiber will hold up better then frn, thats not to say frn will go down easily. My experience is exactly the opposite. I've dropped an FRN D4 on my concrete warehouse floor from 10 or 12 feet in the air with absolutely no results. The knife didn't pop open, the handle didn't get scuffe...

RFP... nothing else goes in there. Haven't lost one in 55 years.ViperGTS wrote:Just curious how most here carry their knives :spyder:
How many always keep one loose buried in their pocket? Is it with your keys? Any pros or cons?, seems like it may be easier to lose that way though..
Just curious, thanks guys

I've tried a lot of sharpeners but the Sharpmaker is the one that's stayed around, along with freehand stones and a bare leather strop. I live ina three story house and I've got three Sharpmakers. I also have all the rods for them including diamond and U/F. I tried an edge Pro and sold it, I've trie...

I have 5 Paras if that counts, but they're all a bit different. No... I tell a lie... my digicam Para 1 is my fav and I do have a backup for that one. The others are a Para 2, an all black Para 1 for my garage beater, and an early model Para 1 with the large jimping that was my first. She's semi-ret...

I've been buying them since about 2004 or whenever the CF D3s came out... they were my first two. I've probably bought between 60 and 90 altogether, currently have about 15. None of them has had what I consider a QC issue. Off center blades and uneven bevels don't count as issues AFAIC. That's just ...

I'd suggest a CF Caly 3 as others have, maybe consider a PPT (slightly larger blade than a D4, smaller than a P2). The Rookie is a surprisingly thin knife for its stated blade length. It didn't feel anything like a D4 when I handled one. The Native 5 could be a candidate, but I haven't handled one. ...

I've used both grinds on both thick (4mm) and thin (2.5mm) blades. The only advantages I see to a convex grind are that it's a stronger edge because it's a bit thicker and it's a bit easier to touch up in the field. Neither of these is a big concern to me so I prefer the straight bevels that Spyderc...
