I found my Perfect Knife
I found my Perfect Knife
hey guys how are yah
I didn't think i would say this so soon, because I have always been into knives, but only starting buying a few months ago.
I really did find my perfect knife & it has everything i want.
Spydie
The handle is so comfortable
Clip is just right
Lock is like a bank vault( Opening & closing is music to my ears)
Tip down Carry
Not to Big (Sits in My right front pocket without a problem) I have it clipped it right now while typing
Wicked fast on the Draw by far (Less than a second or two i believe) Yes yes i know thats slow
I very much doubt this knife will get replaced anytime soon, but I am glad I found it now so for a while I think my knife obsession has cooled down.
I forgot to tell you it's an ayoob
so have you found your perfect knife or are still looking
take care

Me too. I am also happy with my SS kiwi and Caly jr. :DBlades wrote:Right now I am very happy with my CPM-D2 Military. :)
Blades
Although, I would like a more ergonomic handle. Something like a rough version of the manix handle. So I guess its not my perfect knife...but I am happy anyway. I only have so much money

My STR customized Stretch is about as close to perfect as I've come so far. Ergos are perfect. Blade to handle ratio is as good as it gets, only way to pack more blade into that length handle would be to hinge it in the middle. 3.5" blade length is big enough for my needs. Add a Damasteel blade, refine the jimping on the ramp to match the choil, loose the Boye dent, and add Spinned stainless or nickel sliver bolsters, and it would be absolutely perfect.
Jigged Bone Kiwi is not far off either, definitely the closest "out of the box". SFSW Stag one is even closer, and if I ever get around to having Tom Krein do a full flat grind on it the rest of my Kiwis may not see as much pocket time as they do now. :D

Hmmm...I can't narrow it down to any one knife...I have different hawkbills and I like 'em all...in a different category I have a few wharncliffes and they have different purposes...I guess it would be like having a brood of kids and trying to pick your favorite...I love 'em all! :D

Perfect knives
D'Allara Drop Point PlainEdge, D'Allara Rescue Sheepfoot Serrated, Delica 3 combo edge, and Ladybug Sheepfoot Serrated I carry with me all the time. These, along with a custom Kelgin survival knife made by Paula, are my survival array.
I carry when I travel by train or bike an otter box with survival gear, fishingline, hooks, saw, fire makers, signal mirror and whistle, etc, and I include a stainless Co-Pilot in it and an old no-name knife to shave magnesium bar for tinder --a few misc. items like rubber band, nylon cord..
I carry these with me all the time in pocket and in a leather shoulder bag which has four pockets, two front, two back of bag to carry knives or multi tool. I carry the plain edge D'Allara and the Ladybug in my pocket; the D'Allara Rescue and Delica 4, and the Leatherman Wave in the bag. My small first aid kit and emergency kit (with Co-Pilot) are in the open space of the bag.
And thank you Forum for the birthdate greeting.

Perfect knives
I have to amend my previous post. I don't carry the Delica; it does not feel comfortable in my hands. The D'Allaras fit perfectly, comfortably. Strangely the Ladybug fits comfortably. I will keep the Delica at home. I like its design except for how the hand fits my hands. It is not the size of the knife. The design does not work with my hands.
I also realized that I used the Ladybug more than the others while in the Town. The Ladybug is my pocket carry; the two D'Allaras I carry in my shoulder bag along with a Leatherman Wave.
The Ladybug is not threatening to folk. Uploaded a crude drawing of my emergency shoulder bag interior: 1, the main area, is where the first aid kit (otter box), emergency kit (otter box), and The Universal Survival Handbook by David A. Nuttle are carried; 2, 3, 4, and 5 the two D'Allaras, Leatherman Wave, and LED flashlight are carried. My mobile charger fits in 1 too. The purse has shoulder strap and belt loops; although it's a bit heavy for the belt.
Obviously I can't draw.
