What blade did you EDC today?

I have a noname version but you can find it at GB labelled as ā€œFura Gearā€ here .

My new Fura Gear titanium flipper:

ā€œusual shaving sharpnessā€ is what Dundee demonstrate.

The Millie is a framelock. It actually has a SS insert for the ball detent which also functions as an overtravel stop that I thought was a nice touch. Itā€™s an exclusive model only sold by knifeworks.com. When I saw it was down to only $199 I had to jump on it.

Sanrenmu should release an Adahn SE version like that! :slight_smile:

Lovocoo SF001

Yes indeed :wink:

But I really like that little folder, too.

Today Iā€™ve just reground the blade of a Fura Kwaiken, the one with the fat flat grind, rather a sharpened prybar than a knife.

Hollow grind is ā€œeasierā€ to do as I thoughtā€¦


@Isti Iā€™ve seen your Ti pen and Iā€™m wondering if thereā€™s any titanium bolt pen where I can use the thin refills.

Or is there some kind of adaptor available?

Thing is I donā€™t really need a standard pen but I often use a silver pen on job to mark leather or EVA foam before cutting.

These refills are the old thin style and itā€™s always difficult to find a good pen for them :frowning:

My titanium tac-pen uses standard Parker style refills (you know the thicker ones).

What did you use for the hollow regrind on that Fura kwaiken? The result looks nice.

Yeah, itā€™s easy to get pens for Parker refills but difficult for those lame old style thin refills
I thought there must be adaptors for that but I couldnā€™t find one

And on that Fura blade I used a belt grinder on job with a maybe 20cm wheel, I can measure it later
I have no work rest thatā€™s why I couldnā€™t make a straight hollow grind with a flat ground tip
The finest belt I have is 80 grit but after a good polish itā€™s not rough anymore (even though Iā€™d prefer something like 200 at least)

I guess Iā€™ll stonewash it later, I just must resist to grind it again to reduce some of the mistakes I made
From my I learned job that the trick is to stop when you canā€™t make it any better instead of continuing to make it worse :wink:

Now the blade swings much better than when it was a folding prybar :stuck_out_tongue:

Did you use some sort of jig for grinding?
Yes, itā€™s always good to know when to stop. I learnt that on my own. :smiley:

Ganzo F713M today. It also begs for modding. :slight_smile:

Can you give an opinion about this new back lock Ganzo?

Sure! What I like:

- EDC friendly size,

- excellent fit and finish,

- solid lock-up without any blade play,

- perfectly centered blade,

- adjustable/removable thumb studs (legal carry for example in Germany),

  • deep carry pocket clip.

Iā€™m not a big fan of the bead blasted finish on the blade so sooner or later Iā€™ll give it a satin or a stone washed finish. I would prefer full G10 handle scales because in my opinion the exposed liners at the end of the handle are only design elements.

Well, I think jig is the wrong term, itā€™s more a holder and a grind stop

I had to do it freehand as thereā€™s no workrest mount on our belt sander

I like that Ganzo with the SOG OEM pattern, too, but I wish they would have left more G10 where the pinky finger grabs it
I get the point to leave the lanyard hole this way, if Iā€™d make scales Iā€™d only leave away the material at the butt though

The clip would have to become as thin as behind the circle, this way itā€™s looking too bulky

I guess Iā€™d prefer an F-753M1 or a small version of the F7621 if they ever make one

It would be fastastic to see some land-sanrenmu knives with frame lock with disc, replaceable frame lock, ball bearings andā€¦ a flipper :slight_smile:
A step more.

?? You mean steel insert like on titanium folders :question:

Hi Isti - I noticed recently on your blog that someone commented about a Ti/CF Decepticon 2 clone with Damascus blade. You donā€™t happen to know where he got it from do you? My mate is after one.

Paul

Hi Paul,
As I remember he got it from DHgate.

Cheers Isti

Yeah my mate had seen one on there - he was hoping to get it a bit cheaper.

Thanks buddy
