What blade did you EDC today?

Wow. I looked them up and found this one. Hopefully I’ll come off disability soon and have money.

Really nice EDC blades. I can't believe I've never seen a review about thes knives anywhere.

Slim and elegant. The perfect suburban EDC.

Really nice jiimping top and bottom. Reminiscent of Spyderco jiimping. Two tone aluminum scales.

if you bump the thumb studs with your thumbnail, the blade flies out as if it was spring assisted. It's not, but I had to check. That's how fast it is.

I was really hoping to get a blade with the DLC coating on it, but the Spyderco Sage 2 appealed to me and it wasn't offered in that treatment. And Spyderco tells me they don't offer it as an aftermarket service.

Anybody know where I can get a blade DLC coated?

(just double checked where I bought the Sage 2, price went up $30 in the last 4 days!)

Total side question.

Someone told me Frog lube was a good alternative for keeping things moving and slick. One of the reasons I like it is that it is non toxic.

Anyone have pluses or minuses to using it for knives? First hand, saw some, read about it, or just short of making stuff up about it?

Excellent lubricant with additives (PTFE lubricant), great for guns too.

Are the Foxes made in Italy?

Yes. Maniago Italy.
Really nicely built. Like I said, I’ve never seen them mentioned anywhere. The undiscovered sleeper EDC.

£70 over here, $111, but Maniago built is not cheap built, some very good knives made there.

Got this blue Kahr Arms Delica 4 sprint run the other day. It has been in my pocket and backpack ever since - and it will definetly stay there for a long time.

We start with budget knives, but it looks like we have difficulty staying there. :slight_smile:

I’ve EDC’d a SAK Tinker and Spyderco Endura for the last 20 years. Added a Gerber Suspension MT a couple of months ago.

This gets a lot of pocket time, £8.95, about $14.

Due to our erm, challenging knife carry laws what I’d like to carry is more often than not not what I am carrying.
A lot of SanRenMu’s are finding their way in as well.

48mm blade slipjoint. Good keyring knife.

Benchmade 940 knockoff … NIC

I had to order my black/orange one from Heinnie Haynes because it want available in North America. The red/grey one came from down the street. It was the only one they had, and the only one in that colour I’ve ever seen. I got the blue/grey one from Michigan Knives.

The Blue/Grey one is good looking. Fox produce some very good knives, they are, as you say, “the undiscovered sleeper EDC”.

BM 940?? Are you wearing your glasses? :wink:

Maybe Freman can recognize the background. :wink:
