Nice pickup Shane!!! :tu

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Digs has one and I was playing with it just the other night. I love the assisted mechanism, works great.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Kershaw makes a damn good knife especially when you are looking for a nice open-assist at a great price...

And with their warranty you really can't go wrong!

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Agreed, I am thinking this will be my carry but it is pretty big so we will see.

Not sure if I ever posted this before but I found a picture of a Gerber Mark II that is almost identical to my fathers knife I have.
from what I can find it was produced in '77 and it has a custom leather sheath the same as this pic:

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Ditto on the warranty. My son sent one back 5 years or more after purchase. No paperwork remained. A new knife arrived within 10 days.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Traded out my Strider SMF for a Large Sebenza, pretty nice knife. Not the 'pinnacle of knifedom' and certainly not an XM-18 but still a pretty impressive knife. Can't agreed with the price tag though. They definitely need to come down about $75-$100 before I could consider it reasonable.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

While CRK is one of the few companies out there willing to make lefties, I just haven't been attracted to the Sebenza and while I love the blade on the Umnumzaan, I'm not thrilled with the handle profile or the price tag.

That is kind of why I started getting rid of my production knives and started ordering customs. Lovin' the knife I am EDCing now. Sure the price was a little on the high side but it is exactly what I wanted, built like a tank and a true lefty.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Wow thats insane! Did they have $20 dollars worth of shipping lol

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Yeah if you're a lefty it is awfully hard to get a quality knife. The Sebenza is a good slicer, the knife lock up is amongst the best I've seen. The opening is pretty damn smooth but I expected better on that. Yeah the handle on the Umumzaan or whatever it's called turned me off.

Unfortunately the price tag on the CRK's is definitely way overpriced. The Sebenza would be a great knife at ~$300, at $410 it's just another good knife. I was underwhelmed, same with the Strider. They are REALLY simple knives, I can't see the justification for their price tags at all. I've owned 2/3 and held all 3....the XM-18 is the only one worth it's price tag. Even then I find that there is no perfect knife no matter how much you spend or what you buy.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

I don't want to go off topic here. Where can I get a good sharpening stone? for a blade with out teeth?

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Most people buy the spyderco sharpmaker for knives under $150 or so. After that I think there is one called the Edgepro Apex something or another....but you'll pay through the nose for that one.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

There is also the Wicked Edge but that too is crazy expensive...

You may want to look at the Lansky Sharpening system which isn't expensive but I have no experience with it.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

I really need it for a very long stainless steel blade. / Bread knife.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Everything ships for one $5 charge on Woot! No matter how many you order.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Received my Woot knife on Saturday, love it!!!
Not much bigger than a party short, it's my EDC now!

My second custom knife came in!!!

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Wow I love that blade! Nice choice!

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

+1 here, I love the that look!

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Thanks guys, I wanted a modern knife that looked old as hell. I think Alan did an amazing job on it. The blade is made from a very old circular saw and the clip is made from a very old misery whip saw blade. I also had him do his signature rattlesnake filework on the blade. The katana-like hamon line was a complete surprise. I always wanted a knife that had been differentially heat treated. :D

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

What does something like that run price wise?
Generally speaking. I have no clue, $200, $500, $1,000?
It is custom so I couldn't imagine it be less than a couple hundred.

PM incoming...

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Im going to ask for a copy of that pm, that thing is a true work of art. Im ure wait time is 6mo-1y likely?

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Honestly I wouldn't even want to use it, but how bad ass would it be to whip that out.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

PM incoming...

The wait time on this one was quoted at 4-6 months but it was done in a just over 3 months.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

I usually carry my kershaw Leek, broke the tip of the blade a few months back tho...prying on something I shouldnt have been.....I'm looking to upgrade now im torn on going big and getting a benchmade...or going with the xikar cutter/knife

Easy call. Go benchmade. Suck a nice knife. All of them, hell I cut most of my caps with a knife as it is.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Heh, yeah all of the benchmades are nice....my co-worker seesm to come in with a new one every week. I have been leaning towards the benchmade but idk if i'm ready to jump on board, I need a knife I can beat the crap out of

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Get one of the ~$30 spydercos or kershaws then. Both make nice knives.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

No doubt there are better (and more expensive) knives out there, but a spyderco is really hard to beat. I have used and abused both of mine and they are both still kick...er cutting :)

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Better in terms of only small incrimental improvements. Both spyderco and kershaw make top quality knives that will work flawlessly for generations if properly taken care of.

I know what you meant but this made me laugh.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Kershaw blur is a good cheapish knife, always have mine on me.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

I carry a CRKT knife, Not sure which model but it was fairly cheap (about 50) and has a double lock feature that keeps the liner lock from failing... I hear its a good feature for self defense knives, seeing as that is what I carry it for (because I am a night clerk) I feel it was a good buy... :tu
