Vouking Stedemon TS05 knives 30% off on Amazon. Makes them pretty affordable. Amazon ad doesn’t have much information included so I stuck a BladeHQ ad in there as well with all the pertinent info.
The Pico would be a decent design without that huge gap between the handle and the lock-bar.
After having a couple of frame-lock Ganzos and Sanrenmu Lands all of my frame-lock Kershaws look quite ridiculous.
That’s like the Grand Canyon compared to the Ganzo G722 or G742. :laughing:
Hadn’t noticed that before. I don’t have the knife anymore so I can’t lay eyeballs on it. It was just one of the only two Kershaws I had at that moment. I did just look at a Sanrenmu, CRKT, and Ganzo frame locks here in my little knife box next to the computer and none of those have that huge of a gap.
After reviewing it I decided to refine my “Rubicon” a bit. So I reprofiled the edge after adding a sharpening notch to the blade then I smoothed the edges of the backspacer and the G10 scales. I also chamfered the edges of the opening hole.
Are there any budget knives with bushing pivots? Like the Sebenza 21? A bushing pivot has an additional bushing that the pivot tightens against, instead of the blade. So you can tighten it without increasing friction in the pivot.
