What "Other" is in your pocket???

[JSumm]

I was able to handle one of these a couple of years ago when I met Sean the founder and designer of Null Knives at Blade Show. I was shocked at how great this design felt in the hand despite the unusual look. The thumb stud design is a unique take, but quite effective for however you want to open it. Can even slow roll open with the cutout. Wharncliffe like blade with a slight upswept angle. And with the blade riding low you can cut on a flat surface pretty easily.




The slight texture on the cutout for the lock release is brilliant too. Wish more frame locks had this detail implemented.



A little size comparison.

I've been tempted by that one more than once! Machined clips are a tough sell for me though.

I agree! Milled clips are not my favorite even though they look good. McNees gets flack for their clips but like Spyderco's they work exceptionally well in practice. I will say, this one kinda disappears in hand and sits high enough that going in and out of the pocket is easy. I did need to relieve the tension a bit, but I do that from time to time with any clip.

This is a really exceptional design. I don't think you will regret it. They don't come up often on the secondary. I was able to jump on this one when it was posted almost immediately. I got lucky because there were others interested right behind me.

Did you used to have a different username on here? For some reason your post and username vaguely reminded me of another who used to post similar carries, with a lot of zip-ties in Spyderholes and stuff...

You might be thinking of "ThePeacent". We certainly have a lot in common; I miss his posts. He hasn't been active on the forum since 2019: memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=27353.

Great job remembering him!! He was very active and then just disappeared. Hope all is well with him. He used to have the most packed pockets of anybody around haha! He carried so much gear at all times.

Haha yep, exactly! Funny how you knew what I was talking about, but it isn't you! Well carry on doing what you're doing!

[u.w.]

Very Nice.
I do like me a Holdout. I got my first one when they were still AUS8A.
Reminds me of a sgian dubh, or a dirk

u.w.

I've enjoyed mine. I got this XHP when it was on a closeout sale direct from Cold Steel. It came fully serrated, but I've never liked Cold Steel's serrations for knives I'll actually use. I converted it to plain edge, but I need to thin it out a bit more.

I miss him. Hope he's doing well. I still have some vintage cold steel stuff he traded me back when I was hunting down 2nd gen voyagers.

Wasn't he from Spain? I could be remembering wrong. Took a trip there to Barcelona, and kept looking around for zip tie knives sticking out of pockets haha, never saw any.

I think he stopped posting around the time I got a forum account, but I lurked for several years prior. I really enjoyed his pocket dump pics, but always thought it was crazy. Now I'm not too far off from resembling his carry style!

If I remember right, he used to occasionally carry a Cold Steel Desperado. I was thinking about one of his posts with that knife a couple months ago but couldn't remember what it was called. Took me a while to find it in Cold Steel's online catalogs!

Spain sounds right to me. Haha that would have been a great interaction! Seemed like a really nice guy.

Yes he was fond of "wave"-ing everything with zip-ties.

Found it at a price I couldn't pass up.
Action is pretty stiff and so is the ring but for $10 I can't complain.

I love my Opinel 8 with walnut handles. So light and thin behind the edge.

Yes, definitely not a hard use knife but it's a great slicer. Which is exactly why I bought it. It's broken in pretty nicely after a soak in some mineral oil and some opening and closing.

Had a nice day with the 110. Went to Mass (didn’t have it there lol) then home for a beer and relax, then a hike and some sausages
