When it comes to purely self defense, the full SE is the way to go. I dont think a lot of people here realize how much damage SE can do. Its massive. I think I'd honestly rather face someone with a gun than a full SE blade that knows how to handle a knife. Its just nasty, nasty, nasty. Good point☝️...

Maybe if Anchor had innovated, instead of resting on their laurels, they’d still be going strong? You’ve got to be crazy to run a brewery in California these days without making a really good hazy ipa. That and the juicy IPA’s. I am not an IPA afi but living in Alabama we have Straight To Ale Brewi...

Lava. And since the reboot didn’t sell great there’s zero chance we see it again

I would rather get a Yojimbo 2 and a trainer for it than a civilian. There's multiple reasons but the lack of a trainer knife and inability to thrust seem most weighty. And now I'm gonna be that guy-- get some training or it will do all of nothing to protect you. Echo this except Delica FFG. Get a ...

I don't like the backlock. Strongness is no arguement for me. I never ever had safety problems with any other lock. Backlocks are cheap and primitive locks.

This post is like a pizza cutter, all edge and no point.

Photo required. Couldn't remember what a Canis looked like. Cool knife, but I think it completely defeats my Hapstone guided system. I am curious whether the pointed tip of the forward scales could be sanded into a curve to allow access. Exactly what I was thinking but, I try to avoid knife or gun ...

I often run with a tight Fanny pack around my waist holding my phone and an 8” leather sap. I would rather smack the crap out of a dog than gut one. I also carry pepper spray when I have my dog with me, which isn’t often. I would offer a telescopic baton for those who can’t have a sap due to legalit...

Mostly H1 LBHB, sometimes H2 Dfly.

Anyone checked out the Benchmade Taggedout? I know that is sacrelious to suggest, but that’s a folding game processing knife

Those who have one inbound but haven’t handled the model before, it has a weird blade to handle ratio that bothered me when the OD green came out but doesn’t bother me at all now. I actually appreciate the handle as a user now and have let many of my OCD tendencies go, choosing to appreciate models ...

Glock 42 checking in here. Def lose capacity vs LCP Max but the spare mag is so small I carry it always too. I live in Alabama and have carried pocket and IWB against sweaty skin for hours and zero rust.

Hot take- is it time for a Lil’ Gayle??

I have mentioned before one of my sons wrestling, in fact he’s been year round (high school and club) going on 4 years. His brother has decided to try BJJ and in taking him I have been able to watch the judo class that coincides with the beginner BJJ. I did judo 19 years or so ago and there is no wa...

The latest Ladybug Hawkbill I received (online only because my local shop has none) was hands down the worst of the previous 3 I have owned. The tip is a bit wonky and the serrations aren’t near as “new” feeling as others. That said, it’s my ocean/pool knife so I am letting it go. Probably hit the s...

The Spyderco booth was super busy all weekend as usual. Talking with Michael Janich at the prototype booth was a huge highlight for me. The Microjimbo is an amazing folder. The handle is not micro, fits very well into the hand. The blade is just scaled down, but perfect for those preferring the sma...

I read Superleaf when you said Leafstorm. Ironically I have owned both in the past

People Couldn't Believe He Could Do This Believe it ot not, I've actually seen quite a few people who were very overweight like this guy, who could move quickly, do very good low postures, full splits, high kicks, and acrobatic flips. It's not as if he just took up training to lose weight. It's obv...

I will also wait for a Military SE. https://i.postimg.cc/wBYgy55M/image.png I don’t understand this notion of “waiting” for a SE Military. They were offered from 1996 to the mid-2000s or so (initially in ATS-34 and 440V/S60V, later moving to S30V), exactly analogous to how they’re now releasing the...

I’m with Warstein, these two models are not alike to me. Most importantly IN POCKET, the Delica is unobtrusive and almost at that “forget it is there” level. Leafjumper is at best more like Enders or Manix2 LW. Not a pocket hog but nowhere near the subtly of the D4. I can’t predict the future for th...

I find it a bit odd that the Stretch 2 XL hasn't been revealed in its LW K390 suit yet :thinking. Nonetheless, I'm in for the K294 MULE and K390 LeafJumper. Irregardless of the outstanding vocal lashings towards the Seki factory, they ultimately make up the bulk of my Spydie purchasing, anymore. Si...
