My EDC is a F753M1 with deep carry clip, as well. Bearing pivots FB7603 is to much to resist, I’ll get over the larger size. As soon as orange with black blade goes on flash sale its getting ordered. Have enough points and refunds it’ll be almost free!
Deep carry titanium clip, $8 from http://usaknifemaker.com/folding-knife-parts/folding-knife-parts/other-f… (link is external). Fits good, had to clearance the holes with a drill bit to get the Ganzo screws in it. The top of the clip hangs over the knife about 0.15”. Its double the thickness and a little longer then the stock clip. Thought it was going to be too thick and bulky, but after using it I forgot about. Carry’s nice and deep, disappears in the pocket. The unfinished titanium less eye drawing then the polished stock clip.
Link doesn’t work but I’ll have a look at the website, thanks.
Do you happen to remember for which knife it was originally for? I might order one the next time I’ll go visit my family in the US.
Too bad the clip costs almost as much as the knife LOL!
Would be nice if AE or DHG would carry aftermarket pocket clips for the main knife brands, those would have been cheap.
Hard to tell from your pic if that Kuk has a secondary bevel or is a true convex edge.
Correct me if I am wrong but I’m pretty sure you can sharpen a true convex grind on a work sharp. It takes a lot of practice, because you essentially ditch the angle guides and are free-handing it. I wouldn’t do it on a high value knife for starters, practice on a kitchen cleaver, something with stock to spare or something sacrificial.
I have no first hand experience with either convex grinds or work sharp systems. All my knives have some sort of fixed angle edge.
those k-bar doziers are cool. How do you like its lock-back design? Does yours have any blade play or excessive wear?
I’m thinking about picking one up for EDC.
It’s brand new, not used yet. No blade play. The lockback is good but certainly not in tri-ad lock league.
I would say it’s a light/medium duty EDC knife
Bent the lock bar back too far on my first attempt, had to take it apart to bend it back so it would actually lock :person_facepalming:
It’s working great now though, although I do have to remember not to place my fingers on the bar as I’m trying to open it. It’s my first frame lock, so it’s taking a bit getting used to.
I got this sweet Bastion EDC carbon fiber handle ceramic blade knife in my TacPack monthly subscription box. It is the lightest knife I’ve ever had, and the blade is razor sharp.
I took apart my LionSteel KUR copy for some cleaning and oiling. I can confirm that the titanium wire clip is reversible for left hand carry. The nice fit & finish of the hidden parts was also a pleasent surprise:
