The best pocket knife ever
Re: The best pocket knife ever
Until you remove the clip on the BH, you can never fully understand it's greatness. :cool:
Lol, it's all subjective. Right now, I prefer the Baby Horn, Kiwi and more recently the Dragonfly as "pocket" knives. In that order.
Once I get a wharnie Dragonfly, it may do battle with the Kiwi. I feel like that is going to be the ideal blade shape for that model.
The Baby Horn holds a commanding lead over both of them, though.

Re: The best pocket knife ever
Ha, not sure why I haven't removed mine. Literally never use it. I'm a lefty though so at least it doesn't press into my palm in use.
The Kiwi 4 is sweet as well. Still haven't figured out the Dragonfly. The Urban easily trumps it for me. Like you said though, it's all subjective.

Re: The best pocket knife ever
I wanted to try a BJH but I was scared off by all of the complaints of QC problems and just kept coming. i love the design. It is just what you want in a pocket knife, slim and trim, with just exactly enough blade length.

Re: The best pocket knife ever
Just like the early reports on the Chaparral lw iirc...
Thin stock + stiff back lock = sore fingers for some. In my experience, both broke in just fine. No complaints at all on my pair.
Handle is just a touch shorter than the Urban, but the blade is 2mm longer.

Re: The best pocket knife ever
I've bought three and had zero issues. They are a bit gritty out of the box, but if you blow the pivot out, it pretty much eliminates that.
If you haven't had one, you should definitely give it a shot.

Re: The best pocket knife ever
A K390 Dragonfly is going to be awesome. I hope they do the G10 in this steel. I’ll buy two. Otherwise, I might do a blade swap.

The Foliage Green G-10 would match pretty darn well with the BBS Ranger Green.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Doc, since I know you don´t live in the US at the moment (like me): This does work from abroad (related to the US) too?
Here in Austria it is rather hard and time consuming to sell knives, so I´d be really glad to have another platform for that...

Re: The best pocket knife ever
UKPK - Urban - Rhino are all contenders for me. I'm considering 'pocket knife' as a knife that would be carried 'in-pocket' rather than clipped. UKPK is close enough to the Caly 3.5 that ticks all the boxes for me until the 3.5 LW arrives. Would love to see a K390 UKPK. Urban is great, still kicking myself for skipping the K390 version. Rhino is a dark horse but offers great performance and ergos in a compact package.
