What blade did you EDC today?

What knife is the blue one?

Just got this

I agree. The looks of some of their lights leave me scratching my head sometimes. I end up not buying them because of that. I know I shouldn’t let looks alone sway my decision but, that is easier said than done sometimes. On the other end of that, I have bought knives that I thought looked awesome but upon having them in hand, got put in a drawer and forgotten about. CRKT Pilar is one knife that comes to mind. I loved the looks and ordered one on that alone. It doesn’t fit in my hand very well at all and I end up dropping it before I get it open most of the time. So now it resides in a drawer next to another dozen that have the same problem.

Maybe I should start buying knives I think are ugly and giving them a fair shake.

I’ve got a few folders over the yrs.
Just remember. Folders ARE folders.
IE lock letting go and fingers off. potentially.

I have a few Ganzo’s and Puma’s.

ALWAYS do all heavy work with a fixed blade.
Me. Puma, Martiini and power saw blades too.

77yrs. still got all my fingers but left hand first coupla pinkies have a few
slice marks (scars) from Deckie days on North Sea Trawlers in ’50’s.
gutting out the Cod for boxing/icing.

No matter how “good”, expensive. A folder is. It’s still a very sharp blade. sitting
Hinged. on the end of a plastic thing,or coupla narrow sheets of ally, steel.
Looking at that post of the Spyder/Benchmade snapped in half handle,
should stir the embers. Food and trimming/shaving things only.

I’ve got a 200gram Browning 3 1\4 in blade. Solid as. still use fixed for serious work.
I’d hate to see any of you kids damaging yourselves.
AUS8/440C steel more than fine enuff for them.

PS Above.
Thank you for the “Pilar” notes above. I have it in this weeks purchases.
Not any more. I have a mid sized paw.

“ALWAYS do all heavy work with a fixed blade”

I agree, though the huge ass folder i carry, it actually have a secondary “steel plug” to put clear cross it to secure the big heavy blade.
And i like that as i don’t have much trust in the liner lock it have.
BUT that “plug” are in the glove box of my car as i have no plans for heavy use and really the knife need a sharpening bad as it never was that sharp from the factory.
I must say the large size don’t bother me at all, which i feared a little when i got it, cuz compared to the Ganzo auto i used to carry its gigantic.

Hinderer 3” slicer grind Gen 6 running PH bronze washers blue Ti and back G-10.

Thanks. A bit expensive for me, but nice looking, nonetheless.

Trusty ZT

yeah and a bit plasticy.

Yes, but it weighs ~50g :heart_eyes:

Brute folder knife without dude.
But, a folder knife is not a fixed knife. I have a video exactly with that thought, in my channel.

I have fixed blade knifes, that well truth be told it is more a knife shaped axe :smiley: But its not that often i got a valid excuse to carry one of those.
I spent many a class in school drawing knifes, big fixed blade knifes, so much so the teachers got worried and i had to visit the school psychiatrist.
And then teachers left me alone after that, as i think the shrink confirmed that yes i was indeed not like the other kids, and back then there was no help so problems was just sidelined.
To this day 37 years later i still call my 9.5 years of school as the biggest trauma / nightmare i have ever encountered, you know how some kids can home in on a kid that’s not quite like them.
When i drive past my old school i always roll down the car window and spit in its direction.

Yeah, I had enough years with Sister Mary Alice Meanface that I know what you’re referring to.

That’s right!
I hoper Sanrenmu make drems come true! :+1:

Rubicon style flipper (review here):

Great review … very cool two-tone flipper. I just purchased two. Thanks for the heads up.

Ordered one this morning. I like the design. I would like to find a larger size later with a lock of some sort.

You’re welcome! :slight_smile: The black/orange G10 with the grey bead blasted liners and pocket clip make a nice combo.
