Kershaw Collateral 5500!
I received this yesterday, and carried it for less than 5 minutes.
This knife has two huge and related problems.
You have to press extremely hard on the flipper (not pictured) to open the knife.
Also, where you press on the flipper, the metal is jagged.
My finger got all chewed up, and started to bleed a little, by trying to open the knife.
I adjusted the pivot screw, which would normally fix the first problem, but it made no difference whatsoever.
I have owned scores of Kershaw assisted-openers, and love most of them, but this one is a dud.
I bought it on eBay, and luckily the seller accepts returns and will pay for return shipping, so I'm going to return it.
It's not the seller's fault--it's Kershaw's, but the seller is going to get stuck with this one.

That looks great.
Got my first Kizer 3 weeks ago, and it hasn’t left my pocket.
I’m gonna get more Keizer knives for sure

I didn’t even think of Boba Fett. I just like this color combination for the same reason I like bowling shoes, Hawaiian shirts, and colored wood laminate.
I haven’t had a chance to use mine yet but I love the design.

Roper. Pecos .
Bought this out of curiosity. I am pleasantly surprised at the quality and fit and finish . Have used a couple days and blade has remained very sharp . Not bad at all for an $ 11.00 knife .

Land 710 Ti
How do you like that titanium 710? I was about to pull a trigger on one of those but I realized that the normal 710 / 7010 was a bit too small for me.

I’m sure Raccoon City will be along momentarily for the milestone…. take it away, RC!
Beautiful pics, BTW and cool knives.

@kayasse:
Those images are way too big in file size.
2.8MB to 3.3MB per images is ridiculous.
You really should use a program to resize them before you upload them and share them on BLF.
I use a free program called IrfanView.
I typically make the largest dimension 1600 pixels or less, and I save it as a jpg with a 90% quality.
That will make each image about 800 kilobytes or less, which looks fantastic on most monitors.
You don't have to do exactly as I do, but you really should resize those images.
Not everyone has fast internet, and it's a waste of bandwidth to boot.
