Yep, we will. 
My family is used to it by now, but it is really important to be careful with this heat.
That means staying inside as much as possible during the day.
Inspired by raccoon city’s talk about Kershaws, here’s one of my favorites:
Kershaw Ferrite
Hinderer design, lock bar over travel stop. The blade spine has a contour that fits my thumb perfectly for finer control.
I didn’t like the thumb stud as it’s redundant with the flipper tab and practically impossible to deploy with it anyway. It also sits in the cutting path and hinders sharpening. So I heated it with a soldering iron (red Loctite) and removed it with a vise and channel locks. I also sanded the blade coating as it looked very bland with the scales coated with the same color.

Got a pair in the mail today .Nice little knife for under 10$
That Voltron razor with wooden scales looks gorgeous. Do you have a link to the topic where you modified it?
Thank you! 
Unfortunately I was too lazy to document the process which included the following mods:
- rounding the corner of the lock- bar;
- slightly reshaping the wooden handle scales then finishing them with some linseed oil;
- replacing the nylon washers to bronze ones;
- reprofiling the edge using 120# to 3000# diamonds and the UF rods of the Sharpmaker as the last step;
I also had to replace the pivot screw since the original one was so heavily locktited I had to drill it out.
Yeah, I’d want to get rid of those nylon washers and go to bronze too. That’s disappointing they used such serious Loctite on it that required drilling out the pivot screw. I see it’s a mini (V15 Razor) and it was sold back in 2018… not available any longer. Bummer!
I can’t upload a photo via mobile as i use tapatalk and this forum isn’t available…. but today i’m EDC’ing a Chris Reeve Large Inkosi in red micarta. Normally it’s a carbon fiber/titanium spyderco military in s90v. And i always have a victorinox minichamp in my pocket with whatever blade i’m carrying.
That is beautiful! what size blade? i may be buying one. I love my bugout, but i like the look of this knife better. nice high flat looking grind, which i prefer greatly. I love this forum page as i very regularly see knives i’ve never even heard of before. i got into knives before flashlights, but both within the last two years.
My EDC most days (FH-41 in D2). I can abuse it, dont worry if i were to lose it. I dont much like clones as it kind of rubs me the wrong way. although this isn’t a clone (i don’t think) i know Ganzo makes them regularly, i just don’t buy those models. I only buy what looks like, to me, to be an original design. speaking of which, this knife’s design is great. Fits in my (XL glove size) hands very well. Fall shut action which is impressive for a $20 knife found on Amazon.
Thanks. The blade is 3.2” long. Weight is 3.5oz. The minimalist design is what initially drew me to it and the build quality is excellent. Plus axis-lock & S35VN. Thinner profile than most knives I’ve owned makes it an ideal EDC. Phosphor bronze washers. After opening/closing for a few days, breaking in the washers, action is so smooth.
That is awesome to know the axis lock works well, always worries me a little since it is still relatively new to the open market and even Benchmade has issues with it occasionally and they’ve been doing it for 25 years. S35vn - super steel and nice internals all for under $75 it looks like, awesome value! I may get the one with the harpoon blade. Looks cool too. Plus the one you have looks out of stock at the moment. or I could just practice patience.
Just received this:

It’s very nice, flipper action is excellent, and it feels well made. Just a tad heavy for edc tho.
Asher works directly with a maker in China that also serves some of the bigger knife houses. Justin was really on top of QC. They do have a lot of interesting offerings. I got a discount on my Nomad when I bundled it with a Tracker (fixed blade), which also turned out to be an excellent buy.
Your link is broken. Here: QSP Pangolin
5.3oz for a 4.75” blade isn’t bad, actually. Good price for D2.
Maybe one of these, if I go out?

Link didn’t work for me, but searched it on BHQ, nice Knife! Solid price for g10 / D2. I like bigger EDC’s so i my have to try that one. I was on a 3” & under EDC kick until I realized my hands are just large enough to not be able to comfortably use many sub 3” blades day in and out. That is except the elementum ! Love that knife, just wish it had a flat grind, but not a deal breaker. Im sure there are others but i don’t even look at sub 3” anymore. I really want to try the ferrum forge / drop Gent ( i think its called that) it looks like the flat ground version of the elementum to me. I have an XL glove size, my hands aren’t huge but my mini griptilian is almost unusable for anything but opening mail because i cannot get a solid grip. Needless to say my Rat 1 (heavy!) and Baklash (Perfect weight!) get the most use. The Civivi Dogma was also a pleasant surprise- very light and solid size.
Thanks for the info! Sorry, I do not know how to delete part a quote on blf, in an effort to shorten my responses.
