Gocomma assisted & manual flipper knives

@ Macka17
I agree mate. :+1:
I just want to be the one doing the “sharpening” or “reprofiling”. :wink:

Sounds like you have found a good method for achieving what you want in a good sharp blade. :beer:

No need to be “sorry” Boaz… if that is your opinion. I totally disagree with it however.

My offer to buy was in no way meant to “sound impressive”, it was two fold. The first part being I could possibly pick up a few more of these & not have to wait for slow shipping from China.
The second part being if someone was truly unhappy with their knife it gave them an easy way out.

That is not a “fallacious argument” at all. I know they are good knives, and I have stated my reasons why I believe this; otherwise I would not have made the offer.

And also, for $10… these knives are an amazing value. Hard to believe actually.

  • fal·la·cious - 1.based on a mistaken belief:

So “fallacious” certainly does not apply… because my belief is not mistaken.
You do not trust them… fine with me. Your entitled to your beliefs too.

By the way, did yours pass the ’Spine Whack Test’?
Were you able to make them fail??

As far as your “Atomic Beam Flashlight” analogy… come on Boaz, we all know that is an overpriced rip off.

And G10 fiberglass, not plastic! :laughing:

Hmm, wonder why they’re called “scales”. Sounds kinda fishy to me…

In German they are called Schalen = shells (or peel, skin, even bowl). Sounds even more fishy :stuck_out_tongue:

It’s like with every technical terminology, not often logical to the noob but most likely the best possible or at least most catchy name for a thing.

No one is saying otherwise.

Hey, everyone was ragging on the knife like it’s junk. Had to stick up for it…

/\…… Amen brother!!…… :smiley: …… :+1::beer:

I never knew G10 was evidently so highly regarded for knife handles. I figured (matched) wood would be Le Chit, as the French say.

Yeah, it is… along with Micarta. But for sheer looks, wood is hard to beat. :wink:

I prefer early lock-up on my liners and frame-locks. Early lock up means it will last longer before the dreaded play kicks in. G10 is my preference in handle material, grippy and durable. My EDC is the ganzo fh11 in greenish blue. Love this knife.

I really liie that color Relampago!! :+1:

G10 is good, but I prefer metal handles.

I received this one today:

First the good: It's big, it has a nice clip, and it's an assisted-opener!

Then the bad: The handle is plastic, and it feels cheap.

The knife is very thick, and the rope that comes with it serves no purpose except to get in the way.

Overall: This Gocomma isn't nearly as nice as the one with the 7.7cm D2 blade.

What did you think it was going to be?

Teacher…v v v v v v.

Yes mate. 60plus yrs of practice and lots of cuts.

Eventually. You get there.

That tapered angle I almost get right. is a trick from some of the old Meatworks boners I worked with.

If you have a “folding” knife of any style.
It’s capable of coming back on your fingers.
Treat them as such, a folder. NOT a lock back and you’ll never have a problem.
They ALL only Finger nail cleaners and fruit peeler/slicers
anyway.
Serious work. Use sense and get out that FIXED blade you have.
You’ll keep your fingers longer that way. anyway.
Have fun.

Plastic.

But just because a manufacturer says something is going to be made of plastic doesn't necessarily mean it will be.

And because it's my first knife with a plastic handle, I didn't know it was going to feel so cheap.

I wasn't expecting it to be an assisted-opener.

Nowhere in the description does it say anything like that.

They don't even say it's a "quick open" knife, as they do with some of their other knives.

I ordered this back on May 19th.

I just got an email from Gearbest stating that they still haven't shipped it, and I opted to wait until it's in stock.

This will probably be my favorite Gocomma knife, and I'm not fond of the waiting.

Which one are you waiting for RC? That one?
