Want to answer directly to m4 in a hard use folder, the Gayle Bradley 2 is hard to beat. I’m sure it can handle anything you throw at it. 2nd'd My gb2's m4 is insanely good. I just gave it the tiniest touchup on the sharpmaker, like 4 or 5 passes max on the grey rods for the first time since gettin...

the penguin is outstanding. i love it - fantastic idea and execution

i agree with critiques i've seen of the para 3 that it's a smaller knife that feels bigger; vs, say, the pm2, which is a bigger knife that feels smaller. still, i like it for its niche - there aren't many equally robust 3" knives in its class out there. it sounds like that's what the op was loo...

re: sal's question: a strong lockback designed for hard use is immediately attractive for an outdoor folder that could take the place of a fixed blade with less bulk, potentially less weight, and significantly easier portability/carryability. therefore the ideal knife for this lock as I picture it w...

I can't praise the GB2 enough; there is nothing about this knife less good, less reliable, less capable than the GB1 imo. On the other hand it looks and feels better in hand in large part because of the changes to the handle from 1 to 2, which are one of my favorite things about it. It's an incredib...

it wouldn't have been my first choice, but maybe my number two choice.

this... sparks joy

The Z-Max mule was the first I got. I find this steel extraordinary. I'd choose it over any comparable ultra retention steel out there I've had a chance to use so far. I have yet to see it anywhere else, though I haven't dug very far. Is the limited use just a matter of high price/low availability? ...

BBB - seeing the news about further models in 15v makes me inclined to think we may see others down the road as well. besides the two already announced, are there any models - or particular blade shapes - you personally think would be ideal showcases for this steel, or do these three aready offer it?

could not be more excited for these. sound genuinely like a next step, very interested to see how they handle

Two yellow Pacific 1's. One dyed with RIT dark green, and one with kelly green.

deep blue one is perfect. and woah, do they all have those clips and that hardware?

I have said this over and over. There is no comparision, these are 100x better than the current ones. They're perfect, I wish they all came in these, I'd be happy to have held on to my boxes rather than mildly begrudging the clutter

it will be almost impossible for me to not buy anything in this color combo. cruwear is a favorite steel but i have that and m4 in abundance, so i'm agnostic on whatever steel for future releases. but the green is seriously perfect. as with my cruwear para 3, this is the sharpest knife from the fact...

If you can find one, the OD green/TiCN Cruwear Dragonfly is my favorite. I got lucky and picked one up for cheap on Reddit knife swap, and immediately decided it would be my forever Dragonfly. For extra points here it is in a family photo with some of my other green Spydies :) https://i.imgur.com/L...

Amazing. Thank you for the head's up, this is seriously exciting news

Something I just recently realized I was doing, every time I sharpen on the flats of the stone I'm not hitting the edge directly on the flat, I'm always angled one way or another so that I'm hitting more of the corner of the flat, so I'm essentially still on the corners. I've noticed much better ed...

there are minor things i'd change about the wolfspyder, but it would be the last one i'd give up. it does everything i want it to well, has yet to fail at anything i've thrown at it, is rock solid, easy to carry, looks fantastic, a great color (tho the knife joker lil native may have an edge on shad...

Luckily I keep this little guy in my Camelback.

is that one of the ancients? who is she???

Ok, sorry for the semi-on topic question, but I don't know where better to ask: if you got a new, let's say dragonfly this weekend, and after taking it from its bubble wrap in its box found it had some kind of lint stuck all over the blade oil, and in the backlock itself, would this be reason to won...

using the code for Fradon Safe & Lock, got a GB2 for $137 before tax. insane

I can afford to improve the scales and clip and potentially still stay close to its current asking price
