I'm pretty sure that was the whole point of the Manbug, the pivot is much stronger by materials alone.Evil D wrote:Or, is that already in the works with the Manbug? I know that knife will be thicker in the handle, but how does the pivot strength compare?
Stainless steel frame > linerless FRN handle

I don't think the colors would be very visible on a perfectly flat surface, they are layered after all. To get the layers out you would either have to round and contour the scales, or machine some type of pattern to them. If you are skilled enough, you could epoxy 2 sheeths together to get one thick...

First I used BM BlueLube since that was the only knife oil I had access to at the time, worked well. A while ago I got some Quick Release ( http://quickreleaseoil.com/ ) and i can honestly say there is a difference. It doesn't leave a dull looking coat on my blades (like the BlueLube did) it makes m...

I've seen this when I've sharpened with the Sharpmaker, the way the edge layed on the stone was probably a bit off. I remedied it by using the corners of the rods and finishing only the tip with the flats (no difference in sharpness whether you use flats or corners). Though I have never had this hap...

Jack, by trainer he was referring to a trainer to practice flipping a balisong, not a trainer for martial arts. And you need actual metal parts to achieve the same feel and motion of an actual blade. ;) I made one cheap balisong into a trainer, just took a metal file and rounded the edge and tip, it...

Unfortunately it already has a couple chips so i dont think its quite as strong as the factory coating, or it may be too thick. I also didnt use primer because i wanted it as thin as possible. If you prepped the area it'd probably hold up better, since the clips finish is a high-satin, the paint do...

AFAIK they DID use 3Cr on the Grasshopper, I have one from the first runs and it doesnt have a blade steel marking which would suggest it is 3Cr. Nice to see the upgrade though. :) Also they seem to have upped the MSRP in the process as well, for example KW stil has the Grashopper listed with 15$ MS...

Where did you get that lanyard for the ladybug man? I could use one of those! Most of us probably make our knife lanyard ourselves, I included. Our favourite material is paracord, you can find it in army surplus stores and several online stores. Beads can often be found in online stores as well. Li...

The Kiwi's with various inlays are the the first generation Kiwi's, they were made like that from the factory. (2nd generation Kiwi was an all stainless steel one.) They had a backlock and were made in Seki with prices above 100$ or so. The Kiwi 3's that are now available are a different model (Chin...

I think it'd look and probably feel better without all the jimping to be quite honest. I mean that looks as comfortable to hold as a hacksaw blade. :D Otherwise that looks pretty wicked! :cool: And Jack, Ti is strong enough to have screw holes tapped into it, just look at pretty much any Ti frameloc...
