I feel the same way. I carry only my sub $75 knives. The ones costing more stay home & see light duty… because ownership is more about appreciating the design & quality (I want them to last as long as possible). After the economic stresses are finally over, I’ll probably shift gears & get duplicates so I won’t feel the need to restrain myself.
But yeah, $500 is one cost threshold I am pretty far from crossing… and almost double is entering the “knife sculpture” category, something that’s really more of a work of art than something to use & carry casually.
Dude ! that’s not fair, i cant even have that knife legally, and TBH i want the gun and that is just TOTALLY out of the question unless i can find one on the black market for >3000 USD
And dont get me started on how hard / near impossible it will be to get ammo, and the price for it if you was lucky to find some.
BUT ! i actually have a nice S&W T shirt in the mail cuz if i cant have it i can scream off the top of my lounges that i want it.
Fixed blade Friday: Jesse Jarosz Globetrotter midtech. Fashioned in AEB-L, and richlite scales, carried via a Sagewood Gear belt loop dangler adapter securing a Cleveland Kydex DE sheath.
I had owned a TwoSun TS66-G10 up until last week. I gave it away as a gift. The person said “this is an awesome knife, I love it.” Yep, simply amazing knife for around $30-$35 on eBay where I had gotten mine.
Thanks!
I mean the price - value ratio of the Land 912 is outstanding in the budget category.
The TS66-G10 is also nice but it cost me 3 times more than my Land 9103 (912).
Yeah same here. For $60 on special with the S35v steel, very toned down look, slim profile, and bearings. Makes for a very good EDC. The S35v holds it’s edge pretty good as well.
My EDC knife for the past ~12 years has been a Boker LEO-Damast III with the ironwood inlay. The wife got it for me and it’s been an awesome knife; much better than my $20 Gerber I had before it.
I also hate the cavity left for swapping recessed clips. Some designs address this by including a swappable steel cover plate but I think that’s ugly. This has caused me to pass on a bunch of otherwise nice knives.
This is the coolest and most interesting solution I’ve seen. How durable is that long-term?
Thanks! So far so good. I hope this Gorilla epoxy won’t let me down.
I’m not a big fan of these left side carry pocket clip slots either. I can live with it on my Land 910plus and Ganzo FH11 but on this TwoSun it was quite irritating.
