What blade did you EDC today?

The Zebra and the Honey Badger

CH3504 small version and sheepfoot slipjoint:

Darn… that CH3504 is yelling Anodize me!

But maybe I’ll get a CH3001 and anodize it red-white-green for me dad or green-white-red for my co-worker…

By the way, does anybody know a place where I can find a list of all TwoSun models, available or out of stock?

We have a fine list of all Ganzo models on this forum but I have no success finding anything about TwoSun :frowning:

edit to add Holy crap I actually got an image to upload thanks racoon city and JohnnyMac. Also, this is the first time in a long time I carried this Buck knife. It really doesn’t hold an edge very well compared to other knives I have

Good taste

Be careful with the red color! If you screw it up and make it orange you’ll have to find an Irish guy! :wink:

Got a link for that sheepsfoot? Couldn’t find it anywhere.

Click the pic mate.

My apology’s sir, didn’t realize it was clickable. I have that “forgot to pay attention” disease once in a while.

Well, it will be magenta instead of red but I don’t think I can get orange anyways :wink:
The difficult part will be the coat of arms, I just ordered a 10x10cm plate of Grade 2 Ti to experiment a bit.
Maybe I’ll make a nameplate, too, etching copper has proven to be a tad too difficult and nasty…


So much about anodizing :wink:

RFT D2 version by Lovocoo:

Spyderco Military in S90V with peel ply carbon fiber scale and titanium framelock.

I have tried to find details on TwoSun knives for years without any success, it doesn’t seem to be a “real” company, more of a name under which one or several manufacturers brand some of their products.
As always, I could be wrong though and someone better than me has had more success. :smiley:

TwoSun TS07:

Blue Chips, is that Spyderco a frame lock or liner lock? I was looking really hard at the Military/Para Military for the S90V blade steel, didn’t see one with a Ti scale as a frame-lock or I may have taken the plunge…

isti, that RFT has a nicely shaped blade… seems someone missed something on that frame lock though, usually the lock side is thinned down to keep it from being too stout, they didn’t take the thinned section all the way out so it appears it might be pretty stiff to flex, is that the case?

Edit: What I like about the blade shape is that the Tanto style knives were originally made from a broken Samuai sword, using the remaining tip and retrofitting it to a new handle. This blade looks quite similar to my Katana, except for the grind of course. My Katana is convex ground. 28” of razor blade.

The trick is that the real lock-bar relief is on the inside so it’s felxible as it should be. :slight_smile:

Are those high-end katanas perfect razor sharp out of the box or do they need any touching up?
It took me almost 2 hours (and 3 beers :wink: ) from a #120 diamond to a #3000 ruby. It’s still not a perfect mirror finish but I’m getting closer:

This one is a competition class Katana, came literally razor sharp and has a little wooden box of sharpening materials, essentially a powder ball! They sharpen it with a dang cloth “sack” holding abrasive powder! Beats me, but that’s what the video showed the Master doing, all along the edge beating it with this little powder ball over and over and over in what must take forever! lol I’ve honed it on a leather strap to polish it a bit, but didn’t try the old school way. :wink:

Had a Rat Snake after my Labrador Retriever one day, stupid snake was seriously aggressive! I swung the sword, thought I’d missed as I didn’t feel anything make contact… snake’s head and about 2 inches of body were laying separate like a laser had cut him! His body tried crawling away! Cleanest cut I’ve ever seen, amazing stuff! (My dog went bezerk, wanted this thing bad!) [the snake, he wanted the snake]

I guess there’s some difference between usual shaving sharpness and that competition level sharpness. :slight_smile:
