I love autos too. Microtech’s, Protech…
I recently found an article about knife steel. Learned a lot! Based on that, I bought a full sized Ka-bar that’s high carbon steel. It doesn’t hold the edge as well as M390 but man… when it’s sharp there is nothing like it

I agree, I have the BK14 - my first “real knife” when i started the knife journey 18 months ago. Its only 1095steel, but it is probably my shaprest blade! (ive put some time into sharpening it though). shocking considering its a coated black blade. shocked me at least. it cuts as well as my .10” thick blades and it is .25” a the spine!

QSP Parrot.
Great little knife. Fantastic pivot action. 440C blade. Dyed the scales from a light pink, to a fuchsia color. My favorite small knife.

Today’s EDC is my modified CRKT Marzitelli Prowler.
I modified the blade and relocated the clip.
I am dedicating this to Peter who passed away on May 11, 2019…RIP Peter.

Chronovore:
Ganzo makes a lot copies, clones, and mashups of existing designs without permission. I agree in not approving of that. Those knives are usually made of soft 440C and aren’t of the highest quality.
However, their FH line are all original designs and are made to a higher standard of quality. They use Chinese D2 which is treated to a decent hardness. In my experience, these are pretty good knives for the money. They make great beaters and I agree on the value of carrying a knife without worry.
The FH81 is an exception (the prototype of the FH81 was even more similar with the steel thumb disk):

I didn’t see the prototype but under close comparison, I’m going to put this one in the “inspired by” category as well.

Another example FH21 vs. Fat Dragon Dead Silence (Allegedly the FH21 was designed by Fat Dragon for Ganzo.):

I prefer multitool than a folder. Since pandemic started, I did not go out that often, so I started to carry Victorinox Compact, because I think it’s most simple one. The scissors and large blade are the most used tools for many things around the house. Usually, I carried Victorinox Fieldmaster plus Gerber Suspension to support my daily activities.
