The TwoSun TS187 Micarta is really hot!
This is really a knife where I donāt know if I like or dislike the āsecond nail nickā groove or whatever that isā¦
If my wife was an office clerk Iād gift her the lamp though, in German Tippse (from tippen/to type) is a not too nice term for that kind of ink pissers
My couch potato carry today!
Spyderco UKPK
The Fangtooth is not an average slipjoint for sure!
Micarta :heart_eyes:
Jumping on the Spyderco compression lock bandwagon today.
I got a Benchmade Bugout and love it. Decided to try a Mini Bugout and itās just too small, not a fan.
Then I tried the Mini Crooked River since itās closer to the full-size Bugout but just did not like it in hand.
Just my opinion, of course, but figured someone might like to know.
So if you are considering a Bugout, do it!
Great choice on the Bugout! Itās light, has a great blade shape, very versatile knife with a lot of aftermarket bling options.
Breaking in my new arrival today. As much as I admire the real thing, I canāt bring myself to spend $500+ on it. If I did spend that much, I would never carry it. So hereās second best at around 15% the cost with no qualms about using and carrying it.
Very nice. What is it?
Itās a clone of the Spyderco Slysz Bowie. The genuine article retailed for about $200 a few years ago, but was discontinued due to slow sales. After it was discontinued, the secondary market became ridiculous. Used examples are selling for $450-600, new ones might fetch more than that. As much as I like the aesthetics and ergonomics, I canāt bring myself to spend more than $400 for whatās really a basic knife.
The clone goes for $75.
I blame @chooma for this purchase. Buttery smooth without the second detent and really fun to fidget with.
This is not the Manker E02 II that I expected in the mail today. This is a Sanrenmu 9165. Seems like I mixed up the tracking numbers in my list somehow.
Finally a knife that I can carry without violating the law because it doesnāt lock when opened one-handed. Which is rather difficult due to the spring tension.
SRM 1162
Whatās about the hidden locking pin?
That is OK. The law says:
This means exactly āopened AND locked with one handā. So it is OK to carry knives that will lock automatically, but can be opened only with two hands (like lockback knife with nail nick). Or knives that can be opened with one hand, but do not lock automatically in the same action. Inserting the lock pin is fine (and makes this a fixed knife with a blade length under 12 cm).
Fun fact: It is perfectly fine to carry a 30 cm folding knife (with the same limitations for opening/locking).
