Re: Why is the Domino so overlooked as an edc ?

It's been over a month now with my Domino CTS-204P spending time in my pocket; other flavors of steels are in use for bigger blades as well but this this little bugger serves me well :spyder:

Re: STREET BEAT Fred Parrin Blade SHEATH Questions

Hi, Mine is older and the retention wasn't what I thought it should be; took a heat gun and softened the material, then put a clamp on it to tight it up, it's never given me any retention issues since then. :spyder:

Re: M390, CTS-204p Chipping

It seems like I am the fourth owner of a PM2 with M390 steel; when received, it had 4 areas where the original grind had been rolled/chipped (see below). I re-profiled it to 18 DPS and have not had any issues with chipping while cutting since then; I've been using it for about 2 months. :spyder:

Re: Substitute for Lynch clips?

Hi, I've used both and it seems to me that the hole to reach the screws for installation on the Lynch is a bit smaller than the MXGear clips. I do prefer the MXGear clips and just ordered some for my Domino and Calypso Sprint Run (uses Benchmade pattern) . Below is a comparison shot between the stan...

Re: Somebody Stole My Maxamet Native

I've also had this happen a number of times when having a delivery come to my work place; USPS scans that it's been delivered and I don't get it... usually by the 2nd day it arrives because they delivered it to the wrong business address and it is picked up and returned to be delivered at the right ...

Re: Pocket Clip - Risk & Benefit

I always carry with a clip; depending on the environment and how I am dressed, I may carry inside the waistband under my belt. I traveled a lot due to my job and learned to keep valuables where I have access to them but can detect if others are trying to pick pocket me. Example; carrying a front poc...

Re: Chaparral carbon handles vs. Manix2 carbon handles

The Manix 2 CF texture feels exactly like the CF on my Caly 3's CF; I appreciate the added jimping around the Manix scales (liners) which aides in getting a solid/secure grip when using it :)
