Softer closing is also a minus, [...] I personally would prefer it a little harder and the release not to be so immediate. My thoughts exactly, I also like predictable effort for closing a slip-joint not a surprisingly abrupt budge. Also, traditional slipjoints will pull the blade back in position ...

Thanks for the reminder, I kind of forgot about that. Probably because I like pointy tips. :p

@gmand16: Great choice, you'll love it.

Since G-10 Police models are not in supply anymore, I'd have to say Military.

Just because:

• better traction
• lighter
• full flat grind
• more pronounced swells to keep the hand locked in

SUZUKI GSX-R/4 SPECIFICATIONS

Hearing about the weak spring tension is a turn off for me. I had a G-10 UKPK and let go of it because of the weak spring tension. To me SAKs have a good spring tension. Yes, I know it would be harder to open, but I'd take a little stiffer action over a wiggly blade anytime. A slip-joint will never ...

Nice knives - I especially like the first two.

I have made some of my own blades, but only from old HSS saw blades and a few regrinds of old blades (from knives with broken handles, etc.)

Sadly, I don't have the possibility of doing my own heat treatment and/or smithing.

Their own knives of course. Well, now and then I makes me a knife :D - just wanted to see if there are others here who do, too. So 'fess up and show your work - remember: this thread will be useless w/o pics. Here's mine: http://i684.photobucket.com/albums/vv209/m21peace/Messer1.jpg http://i684.phot...

I think it would be the perfect knife for Gene LeBell. :eek: :D

I liked the Military from the first time I saw it, but to my surprise I actually started to like it better when I used and carried it.

I know, but I like the principle.

Dedicated pry bar + dedicated blade.

I can see where you are coming from, but I am more into Japanese MA, so techniques differ. Do what works for you.

I like what James Williams is showing in his youtube vids.

This is getting a bit far OT - I am sending you a PM.

PS: you might consider cropping the full quote down to the part you are actually commenting on. :p

Another example of how far ahead of their time some :spyder: products were.

Think about all the attention Atwood's pry bars are getting. I find that :spyder: could still compete if the did a revival of the Probe.

Honing a straight razor is actually not that difficult, since the spine acts as an angle guide. Just lay the blade flat on your stone and start honing. That said, the fine :spyder: benchstone might be a good way to start your edge. If you also get a 6000-8000 Japanese water stone, you'll have one st...

[...] products along the same lines as most of the ''Frost Cutlery'' product line, or something equally over-priced and gimmicky. [...] Lynn Thompson is about as credible of a source in the knife industry as Bill Clinton would be as a guest speaker at an NRA rally. That isn't fair criticism. Althou...

The "snap cut" does not compute for me The idea is to give the BG something to think about and not expose yourself. Eg, after you have successfully dodged a power strike you get a free shot at his hand/arm/shoulder/face while he follows through. A snap cut can be sufficient to sever a ten...

There have been numerous types of armour in Japan. Most of the higher grade was laquered steel lamellar armour. There was also scale armour and plate armour as well as leather armour for lower ranking foot soldiers. I think bamboo would make a good material für lamellar armour, I am, however, not aw...
