What blade did you EDC today?

I’ve been handling this today, getting it loosened up, didn’t really need it but what the hell.
42mm blade and an unusual opening/closing action, the whole blade swivels open/closed as the carabiner follows on the other end, it has a decent détente thanks to the ball détente system in the liners.
There are four models each with a different design etched on the scales.


The SanRenMu logo let into the scales on this side helps with gripping the knife.

I’ve got some I could send you. :slight_smile:

I quite like sharpening as well.
I have a lot of Lansky sets with the hones including the diamond set and use them for damaged blades or re-profiling but I had nothing for deep recurves so I decided that instead of paying for a set of the curved hones that a crock stick set would be the way to go and I’m loving it.
The hones are great and I leave them assembled with the rods so it’s quicker to set up but the crock stick gives a very sharp finish for little effort. I can stick it in a pocket and take it out and about, I’ve even attached a spirit level to the top so I can be sure if it’s level on uneven surfaces.
I’ve seen the paper wheels but at the moment have nothing to put them on to spin them.

I got a 7078 after reading your review here, and I’ve been carrying it all week , mindlessly flipping it open. I like the ball detente lock better than I thought I would. It hasn’t loosened up yet but it is a fun knife.

lekvar, if you like the 7078 and your local laws allow then the 9054 would be a step up in length, it also has a hole in the blade that matches shaped liners, when anything, I use a 550 Paracord lanyard and one strand of that is enough, is placed in the hole it stops the blade from closing, sort of like a lock knife that isn’t.
It uses the same ball détente liners and is a flipper, the détente is a bit stronger though.

With all the ball détente you can open them up and bend the ball détente arms to make them tighter or slacker but do it evenly or the blade won’t be centred.
The insides.

The 7078’s are a great little knife, I have another on order now.

+1 Thanks!

I have a bunch of knives but this is the only one I ever carry.

N.E.R.O. Nighthawk FX-117-CT

A little bit different. Composite blade set in a comfy, wide, boxy handle.

The blade is N690Co (cobalt vanadium) bonded to a titanium spine

Note the secondary locking mechanism. When this is engaged, the liner lock cannot be disengaged. Rock solid lock-up.

Went camping over the weekend and took out the Spin Drift(won the knife in a giveaway, only giveaway I have one.)

Wow, that’s a serious blade!

Benchmade 940-1 with Carbon Fiber scales and a CPM-S90V blade. Been my EDC for several months. A beautiful, functional and light weight knife.

Very nice!

Great knife, I like the composite blade, there’s a couple of Kershaws that have them but your Nighthawk is much better looking and I bet performing as well.
That secondary lock is the Lake And Walker Knife Safety or LAWKS and can be AutoLawks that engages every time the knife is opened or the manual Lawks that you set by sliding the peg forwards, a lot of CRKT knives have it, the Hammond Cruiser is fitted with the manual type as is the Harnds Blazer, I have both of them. As you say rock solid lock up, the linerlock can’t disengage with the LAWKS applied.

IMO the auto LAWKS is the most annoying feature they put on a folder ever.
Kershaw has some serious composite blade folders with M390, Elmax, S110V, CPM-D2 steels too.

I carry these stuffs today.

A.G. Russell Featherlite One Hand Knife

The N.E.R.O. nighthawk has the manual LAWKS system.(only engage it when needed.

I hate the autoLAWKS system. I also find it annoying having to resort to one handed contortions every time I want to close my knife.
I have some CRKT knives that came with autoLAWKS. I merely opened them up and removed the offending parts. Now I really like them, especially the Carson “M” class flippers.

damn man why did to have you post that?! I haven't bought a new knife in a long time...

I do wish you could see the braze filler more pronounced but still that looks awesome, the handle reminds me of what all the cheap budget/ china Kershaw's try to be.
