DAYWALKER Design. Pictures! (Non-Spyderco)

#1

Post by pjrocco »

Greetings,

I just got my hands on DAYWALKER's design. I have to say, i am very pleased with this design, although it is not Spyderco, it is still top notch! If you have a chance to pick one of these little folders up, please do! DAYWALKER can for sure design a great knife.

Boker/Magnum BO589

Thanks Chad!

Here are some pics of it,

Enjoy!

I've got one in my pocket right now :D

Solid little knife.

Thing is freakishly sharp, even for a 420 blade, and I don't know what Boker did to it, but it holds an edge well.

Thing flicks open like an auto too.

I love this knife. :D

Mine won't flick open, but the action is very smooth, so it may just be a matter of technique (or more accurately, lack of same). :o Agree the out of the box sharpness was quite impressive. Find the "half moon" shaped studs provide much more reliable opening than the usual small cylindrical ones, and since there are two of them, left hand opening works quite well. Clip is admirably sturdy. Mine was quite tight and needed a bit of adjustment. However, if properly tensioned, I don't think anyone will ever complain about losing a SUBCOM when they reached past it into their pocket.

When I saw it on Knife Forums, I didn't even know Chad was designing let alone having one of his designs made. I will get one for sure.

Deacon, you'd be proud, I actually use this one clipless :eek:

It rides with my keys, and because of it's shape, noone recognizes it as a knife(thank you Chad). Everyone assume it's a remote car starter ;)

How's that for inconspicuous carry :cool:

Yeah, those studs are much more reliable than standard studs, and being the zytel/frn, my thumb doesn't slip off as easily as a steel stud.

Flicking it open just takes practice, and I still can't do it every time, but there is a sweet spot on the stud, that a light flick with a thumb will pop the blade open really quickly.

Overall excellent knife. :cool:

I've been wearing suspenders lately instead of a belt, so I repositioned the clip on mine for tip down and have been carrying it clipped on the outside of my jeans, just behind the left front pocket, in plain sight. I'm figuring folks think it's a pager or something computer related.

Far as the "flicking", I was thinking something completely different, never tried flicking the stud, :o thought you meant opening it with a flick of the wrist.

No, I tried it that way, and it's possible, but very difficult. Flicking the stud is more than sufficient for me. It's a nice discrete knife, no point in advertising I have a knife with a flamboyant flick of the wrist ;)

I love this knife. :D
I guess I posted too early this morning, as this afternoon my BO 589 arrived! :D
I can attest to the freakishly sharp comment! :eek: Hair popin' sharp falls way short of describing how sharp the blade is. Freakishly sharp... that is exactly what it is!

Flicking open... well not mine, but that's OK with me. It's a little too scary to try with such a....
Freakishly Sharp Blade :)

One thing for sure, this little "biscuit" has a very secure grip. No problems there, yet it is very comfortable to hold.

Way to go Chad! :cool:

I am glad everyone likes it so far.
I love mine, and it rides with me everyday.


On an off note, it is great to see this come to fruition, as it is a great knife, but the best part was getting to know Chad.
He truly is a genuinely nice, great person.
Much congratulations are in order, you deserve them brother.
Thanks, Terry
