For what it is worth, my OLD AUS8 Delica made 80 linear feet of cut on old, used, dirty carpet with little effort and no sharpening. My experience tells me it would take at least 3 utility knife blades to do that (both ends of each). Pick one you like, and never look back! :D

A hook or other protrusion on the spine of the blade which will catch on the edge of the pocket and open the knife as it is drawn. Invented by Ernest Emerson. (tip up carry only)

If anyone (including me) everfigures out why, I'll let you know :D

I wouldn't worry about it at all. Having heard the stories about magazine spring fatigue, as well as tests refuting them, I am currently running experiments myself. Since my 30 round mags which have been kept fully loaded for 20 years are still functioning perfectly on their annual test, I am inclin...

I bought mine from a strictly utility viewpoint, I didn't know they were discontinued collector items until I saw a used one go $85 on the bay. Now I wonder whether to carry this little gem, or put it in the safe :confused:
I'll probably end up carrying it, I usually do :rolleyes:

Are you sure you want to know? My pants weigh about 10 pounds! Let's see...left leg pocket - MeerKat, left front pocket - Native (clipped) Cricket and minigrip loose, left hip pocket - wallet and minispike, left side of belt - cellphone, right leg pocket - Delica 3 (outer) Endura 4 (inner), right fr...

I picked up a Toad about a month ago in a local pawnshop, PE NIB w/paperwork. I think he had had it since they were in production, had only minor handling marks from being on display for so long, and priced for $39 plus tax :-) It is a handy little knife, in spite of a two finger handle. It is certa...

I am no expert, nor am I familiar with that particular model, but in general i have to say 2 words - BAD IDEA. Those washers are there for a good reason. I suspect removing them would make your problem worse. It sounds like either a pivot tension adjustment is in order, or (worst case) a VERY slight...

That is a tough one. I have hurt myself many times (it ain't really a knife until it's had blood on the blade), but I would have to say, attempting to catch a freshly honed Cold Steel Tanto when I dropped it is likely the dumbest. The smartest was deciding that was a really bad idea while all my dig...

Gordonk, your rental prep thing sounds like my everyday job. I work for a Housing Authority in a small town. 139 apartments, 2 maintenance men. People usually can't believe what my knives go through on a daily basis. Since I can't stand a dull knife, and so much of what I do dulls them fast (gotta l...

i know, they should ban concious thought, that'll stop it cold (and hopefully solve the politician problem as well....)

Since when have politians and concious thought been related?

I didn't even realize it was POSSIBLE to go for a whole day without a knife! I am pretty sure I can hold my breath longer than I can stand to be without. Needless to say, I AIN'T flying ANYWHERE anymore. If I can't drive there, I won't go.

Whatever you do, don't buy a reverse S Meerkat (until I get mine, that is!). I didn't really like the look of the Reverse S blade until I bought a Cricket and tried it. WOW! I love my Meerkat, and that reverse S blade can only make it better. I really think the Meerkat is the most underrated knife S...
