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:
I don't like GB, charge for shipping, but it`s not tracked, recommends you pay for tracking, and also for insurance, more money every time but shipping is still slow.
FT give virtually free tracked shipping, delivery my last two times was 15 days then 9 day`s not bad to the UK.
It’s swings and roundabouts with shipping - ultimately, if you don’t like the price, you don’t buy it. There’s always AliExpress and DHGate for other options. As to keeping the “import” value down, I’ve never been troubled by that and have never been hit with any demand from the Border Agency. I just wouldn’t worry about it mate.
I got a kind of “California Sun & Surf’in Flipper”, because the story says that the name and design of the Kizer Ki4483 Eliminator 2
is somehow inspired by the sound of the Eliminators The Eliminators - El Borracho Whatever that means, it is a pretty good knife anyway.

A little more expensive than the great KIZER 4426 Bamboo, but thanks to whitemountainknives and some luck on
passing the customs a damned good deal.
Nice knife MAC, love the blade but the handle is not grippy enough for me.
I want a Kershaw Grinder, It`s like £25/$33 in the UK, and only $16 in the US , It only has an 5cr15m blade but i love the shape.
I ordered one of those ""GANZO Firebird FB7603" for GB on sale myself, Make me sick i cannot carry in public, I have this teeny under 2" blade all steel flipper as my new EDC.
