Re: Fixed blade EDC

My most commonly-carried edc fixie is this LT Wright Frontier Valley in A2. It’s about 3, similar to the Bradford Guardian 3. https://i.imgur.com/N62KZF8.jpg The stock JRE sheath is really nice, but I picked up an aftermarket horizontal carry sheath from Delta Knife + Sheath that is even less consp...

Re: Fixed blade EDC

I own two Makos, one in M390 and one in Rex 121. It's pretty much a highly refined, evolved Enuff. The handle/blade ratio is (like the Enuff) quite a lot of handle per blade.

Re: Fixed blade EDC

Handled a Guardian 3 in AEB-L for the first time at a gun show this past weekend, I’ve never seen or held one before. My very first thought was….it’s just way too small for me! But actually thinking back since then, it seems perfect for what it’s designed for. Could have got it for $150, wishing now...

Great read, thank you. And the fact that you spelled "piqued" correctly is just icing on the cake! ;)

Gun show tomorrow in Hickory, NC. There’s a vendor that’s always there that has plenty of Helle and Protech knives, I’ve been tempted plenty of times on several different Protech models! The last one was a Strider collaboration in MagnaCut, very nice knife! Dang, that gun show in Hickory, NC is tem...

Re: Different knife different day, or one knife for life?

I’ve owned and collected Spyderco’s for long enough that I know exactly what I like, and what works for me. I’m carrying probably five or six dedicated knives these days, and I swear I’ve told myself I’m gonna have a fire sale someday soon and get my collection down to around five knives, or definit...

I've never been a Country music fan, but man back in the day when he'd show up on the Bob & Tom show I became a huge fan of his, the guy was hilarious, he would have them rolling!

I honestly enjoy them all, been using two different forward designs lately but I can make them all work for me just fine. Variety is the spice…..

Re: Looking for thoughts on Caly 3.5 vs. GB2

I have two GB1's and a Caly 3.5, they're both knives ;), seriously they couldn't be more different from each other!
