Re: Knifejoy Exclusive...Slysz Bowie??!!

If they went with K390/10v for this run they might have had me. M390 and steel interfaces are overrated IME, and my OG Bowie is an absolute stunner with the near mirror SW blade. It was the most expensive knife I ever bought back when they were in production, and it was just over $200 lol. Where's t...

Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???

The hype is real. It's like they combined a GB2 and a Sebenza and made it a flipper Local store has had one sitting used BTW and it is out of my range. Those designs are killer! Hope they let you touch it at least! This one is impossibly light. The used market on the BF Exchange is quite reasonable...

Re: GP knives Manix exclusive

Love M4, love REX45... K390 is the only steel I've used that was a noticeable improvement over these for fine edge holding, while retaining a similar feel in use and on the stones. I'm no scientist or survivalist BTW, so don't pretend I have data or a cool story to back that up :)

Thanks! Really wish the textured lock side was more common with Hinderer, all the XMs I had were smooth.

Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???

My one and only Hinderer. I was so underwhelmed by the weak detent on it that I never considered getting a second one. The fact that they are crazy expensive when they reach my country also lessened my enthusiasm for them. hinderer_xm18_wharnie_01.jpg The Gen4 was hit or miss. Some really special, ...

Re: Sage 5 in REX 121 + burnt orange

Stoked about this one, but when do we get a Sage2 reboot in something... Maybe magnacut?

The Sage5 might be the best Sage by a few points, but the Sage1 and 2 are still the ones I reach for.

Re: What "others" are in the mail?

HA! I've been on the hunt the past few weeks for Hinderer XM-3, but also been looking at XM-3.5's as they seem to be a bit easier to find. I'm feeling pretty picky about what I want though (Non flipper, slicer style blade, bronze or black, preferably a black or stonewashed blade) I've found a few o...

Wish I had gotten a Shirogorov years ago.
Just so much fun to use and play around with.

I'm so relieved that Shiro knives do nothing for me lol
These aren't too bad. $600
I think you can hit that fairly easy with the right CRK?
Ha! Exactly.

Re: What "others" are in the mail?

You've got to get a CRK in hand, to really understand. It's a feel kind of thing. Nothing about these seem done wrong! I've bought and sold A LOT of knives during my time here, I've only sold 1 CRK and that was to a member here that was itching to try one for himself. I believe he still has it! The...

Re: Benchmade Knife Company

My first "nice knife" that wasn't a Buck or Case was a Benchmade 3550. My second was also a Benchmade, 330. Tried to love a few after that including the 710 and 940, but it wasn't until the Bugout that I felt like Benchmade was back in my life. Now the Narrows has really pushed the limit o...
