What blade did you EDC today?

That’s a pity with the clip, I guess I’d soak it in acetone and see if I can remove the paint :wink:

Anyways, if you like your knife clipped you could try this:

There’s also people who make them regulary if you wish to $$

Enjoy :slight_smile:

I have made all sorts of bags/pockets/pouches over time (I’m skilled with the sewing machine), also leather ones (made my own leather wallet 25 years ago, it has lived in my back pocket ever since and it is still fine, I wonder how wallet manufacturers manage to make leather wallets that are trash within a year).
But an extra pouch in my pocket would make it too bulky.
And it really is fine like this :slight_smile:

But in general, 10% of the world is lefthanded and no (affordable) knife manufacturer makes lefthanded versions of their righthanded knives (just sometimes ambidextrous knives, but the nicest designs are not ambidextrous). And it is really not something hard to do, no design changes are needed, just an extra production line. The Civivi Elementum would be a candidate, there’s enough of them sold to make that extra production line viable.

But I’m sure this must be a topic on blade forums too (but I never go there).

I went to the Ryan W Knives 2021 GTG a few weeks ago with my BIL, nephew, and my son. My nephew had a Ruike pocket knife, and it seemed nice. I meant to add it to my Amazon wish list, but apparently I accidentally left it in my cart, and it has been my EDC for a while.

Before the GTG, I had never really thought about whether $6,000 pocket knives exist. Now I know they do.

I caved and bought a Medford Emperor fixed blade. Hefty .270” S35VN tip to glassbreaker. Then I carved Mammoth Molar slabs for new scales, this is from the rear tooth of an ice age mammoth…. 12,000 to 50,000 years old! Turned out really nice. Made a new Kydex sheath and plan to wrap it in elephant leather, have the material but need to recover from the scales.

Just the Milwaukee Compact Side Slide…… :smiley:

I do have nicer stuff and I love sharpening blades and taking great care of what I have….

But this little thing has been great. When you’re done cutting whatever just throw the blade away. Best carry I have for $8.99!

I did not know that mammoth molar was a thing for scales, very nice!

After 23 days, my Cold Steel clone came in, quality is much better than expected:

This will be my go-to knife for opening flashlight mail, packages, and anything else. It was very sharp out of the box.

Thanks Jos, appreciate it.

I was looking for something elaborate, worthy of The Emperor, fell in love with this when I saw it. Not exactly easy to pull off, not exactly cheap either! At least it’s unique! Lol

today, it is warm enough to wear shorts outside…so……

stock picture…closed, 3 inches.

Where did you get the Kydex for the Izula II??
I like the looks of it. :white_check_mark:
Thanks in advance….

We need to see this again.
All I can say is wow no wait “WOW” Love it. Mammoth Molar scales amazing so unique .
I have a weak spot for big knifes already and can only dream of owning a Medford one day but this one takes the cake prehistoric scales out of this world.
Thanks for sharing.

later

Buck 102 Pro . Nice little knife .

That is the Armatus Architect. I can’t recall if the pattern was custom but at the very least you could shoot him an email. They are very nice sheaths.

Thank you for the info !!! :white_check_mark:

I have wanted a Buck 119 since my younger days when I still hunted . Recently bought the 102 and liked it enough to go ahead and buy this too .

Emerson Super Karambit on the right and Zero Tolerance flipper on the left

Newest acquisition from Blade Show, Microtech UTX-70 with carbon handle and bronze blade, button, clip and hardware. Been wanting one of these for a while and finally found one for the right price. This thing is TINY!

I forgot to carry one from home (WFO already) but I have four other knives in my locker. Decided to grab an ESEE Zancudo.

Wow nice! I have several Microtechs and love them all. The serrated Stitch is wicked

I love my Microtechs as well. The Stitch is on my short list!
