Looking forward to seeing more pics of the DLC version in the wild!
It means all blacked out. Pretty sure it's mostly a car culture thing, when a vehicle is all black everything.Bolster wrote: ↑Tue Dec 05, 2023 12:50 pm
Beautiful knife!!
I don't have the hip lingo like you guys. Can you explain what "murdered out" means? And why "murder"? I've seen the term used a lot with knives, but can't figure out if it implies: monotone, or black, or understated, or overdone, or classy, or modified, or blingy, or...?
A group of crows is called a murder. Pod of whales, flock of geese, herd of sheep, mob of emus, band of gorillas, pride of lions, parliament of owls, pack of wolves, etc, etc..abbazaba wrote: ↑Tue Dec 05, 2023 12:56 pmIt means all blacked out.

Not sure the origin, but the funniest I've heard is that it has to do with crows Seems like it's probably just a form of looking murderous, which often is associated with dressing all in black, limo tint, ski masks... But I dunno, I suck at english.

Thank you. The chief blade is not as tall as I imagined it to be and that’s a good thing for pocket carry. What a beautiful clean blade shape .TimButterfield wrote: ↑Mon Dec 04, 2023 5:59 amWhile my Chief is not LW, this is a comparison I can make of similar sized knives to those mentioned: Chief, Stretch 2 XL, Endura, Caribbean, PM2
It does look slick in all black
Do you have any thoughts about how the stretch 2 XL, endura, and chief compare in terms of carry and use? I have never handled/pocketed the stretch or chief.
The Chief carries basically the same as an Endura. Closed they're just about the same size and weight. SXL carries similar but a touch wider than the Chief.toomanyquestions wrote: ↑Tue Dec 05, 2023 7:33 pmDo you have any thoughts about how the stretch 2 XL, endura, and chief compare in terms of carry and use?

Is the chief's screw closest to the pivot smaller than the hardware found on the stretch 2 xl and the endura - or is it just optics?

Thank you for your feedback!Wartstein wrote: ↑Wed Dec 06, 2023 8:00 amFor the record: The Endura is without any doubt my most used folder ever, I have quite some experience with the Stretch XL already, but only briefly owned a Chief - and a G10 one, I am certain I´d prefer the FRN version (lighter, a bit chamfered, bidirectional texturing...)

So, for me, the Chief LW is a great and extremely cool looking knife - but its "problem" in my case is the existence of Stretch XL and Endura / Pac Salt, which most likely fit my personal preferences even better.
