Very good looking, I’m a fan of Ken Onion designs, unfortunately I’ve only got a Chive. Despite what people say about the Speedsafe opening mine has not broken a spring.
I have been carrying the same Spec Bump in my carry rotation for years without a failure and only a few scratches on anything other than the clip. But in case they do fail, I have a backup in DLC, three more in stone wash and four or five of the Speed Bump G10s with the original Sandvik Steel blade. All are pretty much new in the box, too. I have three ZT0200s, also. That’s another great design by Ken Onion that is being discontinued right now, I’m afraid.
That’s a good looking Opinel you’ve got there Ouchyfoot.
Mine are just the plain old beech handled ones, Carbon steel mostly. The #12 + the #12 saw make a good camping combo, there are larger but I’m not felling trees, I have a Fiskars X5 for that. :bigsmile: They’re just for gathering a bit of firewood.
I have one with a white blade, bought years ago when you could still buy knives from Amazon U.K.
Very seldom used so no chips and still have the tips, ceramic blades have limited appeal, I stopped using the white bladed one a couple of months after I bought it. scary sharp but very delicate. Both of them are very, very smooth opening and closing.
I’ve slowed down my purchases, but I recently picked up this nice hand made Indian Kukri:
And I picked up a Kershaw Freefall to add to my growing flipper collection:
I recently scoured one of these. SOG Twitch II. I was in the market for a knock off knife of some kind, but saw this and it looked nice. So I got it. And Yes the blade has some play, but it has 100% lock up lol. Still a super clean looking knife. They have 2 sizes. I ordered the smaller one because I always put a lanyard on my pocket knives. It opens super fast with the flipper or thumb stud. Came sharp enough to shave a goat.
The pics don’t do it justice. This knife is pretty in person. Goes well for golf casual attire. Or a night out on the town dinner with friends / family or even one of those Craigslist blind dates??? :Sp
Good looking knife, I’d prefer a Flash 1 if it’s legal where you live, just because of the assisted opening. I like wood scaled knives though. I’ve no experience with SOG knives but might try the Slipzilla sometime in the future.
Day at home today so a chance to use some of my clones.
These two are my favourites at the moment with top spot going to the Military, it fits my hand and would be ideal with gloves on as well.
I’ve been practicing with my new stones with excellent results.
The women in my building now have razor sharp knives in their kitchens. My little pub across the street is owned by a Chinese girl, and I sharpened her uselessly dull cleaver knives to hair shaving sharp.
If you want to practice free hand sharpening, do it on women’s kitchen knives. No matter how bad a job you do, they’ll still be better than they were.
PS. I just ordered a chosera stone to try out. I’ll let you know.
