Nice Greg!

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Thanks, Shane!:D It's Really Small With A 2.41" Blade, But The Double Edge Runs The Length Of The Blade, So It's Only About 1" Shorter Than My Microtech L-UDT (3.4") & Much Lighter @ 1.2 Oz.!:tu

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

I've never carried a knife, but the older I get the more useful I know it would be be.

I rather like the look of the Cryo?

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

They are great affordable little knives. I prefer the ZT 0550 though, bigger, better materials and just an awesome blade.:2
But I do not like flippers, personal preference only. I carry a knife everyday, and use it a lot more than I think. If I forget it one morning I am lost without it.
I know bigger isn't for most though, but for me it is perfect. I mix the 0550 with my Strider SnG. Both amazing blades although the Strider is much more money and I would favor them evenly.

Sick piece Greg!!!

I just realized I never posted pics of my most recent acquisition.

Here is the Jake Hoback A15 with Lightning Strike Carbon Fiber inlays.

Thanks, Tony!:D Beautiful Knife, There, Brother!:tu:dr I Still Like That One Better Than Your Norseman!:D

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Thanks Greg!!!

It is a tough decision between all of my customs since they are all quite different, but I think this one might be my favorite!

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Awesome A15 Tony!!! :tu

Thanks Shane! :D

Was recently gifted a benchmade axis flipper. I dig it.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Nice!

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

I have that same Delica 4 except in stainless steel. It's a great knife, and has been my EDC for a while now. I bet you'll get years of service from that piece. Carry it in good health.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Hey next time, give me a shout. Im only 45-60 minutes from there :tu

Nice knife by the way.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Will do Bill. Wanted to hook up with Cory (Chalbrooks) as well, just wasn't in the cards this time. :D

Grabbed a new work knife, Joe Pardue Utilitac II from Ontario Knife Works (Joe is Mel's son of Benchmade fame)

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Nice grab Mike! :tu

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Ken...really dig that Benchmade Axis Flipper. :tu :tu

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Happy New Year everyone!!!

This was my last acquisition of 2013, a Tuffknives Tanic (I got it on 12/30).

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ps33d0f104.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ps2fc2a6f1.jpg

Here it is with my other Tuffknives knife, a fixed blade called the Imp.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ps2f27c10c.jpg

This is the first custom maker I actually have 2 knives from.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

That Tanic is very nice! I've seen lots of nice customs on Instagram lately, but my small sebenza is so nice I haven't been looking to buy anything else.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

:tu A Lot Of People Feel The Chris Reeve's Sebenza Is The Best Folder Out There. I Have The Large Sebenza, But I'm Afraid To "Ding It Up", So I Keep It In Storage.;)

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

That's worth way too much, and way too pretty for me to want to use and abuse it, Greg lol. That'd end up being a Gentleman knife, and since I'm not a a Gentleman it'd collect dust.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Gorgeous looking blade

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Supposedly Chris Reeve Will Polish & Resharpen Any Of Their Knives For A Small Fee, But, Like Brian Says, I Don't Want To Take The Chance & Use It For An EDC.:tu

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Oh no kind sir, that's not what I intended to say. My small sebenza gets carried and used (mainly on weekends) as I don't want the pocket clip tearing up my slacks at work. I paid a decent amount of cash on a finely crafted cutting tool, I want to enjoy carrying it and using it. When the blade dulls, I'll send it in for a service and sharpening. When my son is old enough I want to pass down a used and well taken care of knife that he has memories of me carrying and using, not something that just sat in a safe for years.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

This. :tu

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

My two new Spyderco's should be here on Monday.

Spyderco ParaMilitary 2 DLC
Spyderco Delica 4 Orange

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

I love my SpyderCo Military!

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

I have two Delica 4's, one with a combo blade and one with a plan blade, I really like both. What I like best is the grip on those Delica's.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Alright fellas...need some help. Found this old Barlow knife that my late stepfather gifted me before he passed. It's been sitting in a drawer and looks like hell. How can I clean it up and make it look good again?

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

PM Tony, Mac. No Clue, Here.:sh

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

A little flitz and some elbow grease or judicious use of a dremel-ish tool will do wonders. Initially? I would take some Barkeepers friend to it after cleaning with some carb cleaner to de-gunk and start with a clean knife to start with.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Mac, if you want to just take off the rust, but leave the patina that's developed on it over the years, the 0000 steel wool and elbow grease. Then coat the blades (and handle if it's bone or stag) in a thin film of oil, I use mineral oil you can get at any pharmacy. This will give you a clean, protected knife that still shows the well earned marks of a lifetime of use. Just my :2

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Sweet :tu


The Delica is one great EDC knife.

I have two other Spyderco's as well, and like their products just a bit more than the Benchmade's I have owned.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Totally agree with Derek on this one. You may need to take it apart if the action is gritty but I would try to avoid it unless it is necessary.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Tony, if I take it apart...there will be extra pieces laying around when I put it back together. :r :r :r

Thanks for the input fellas. :tu :tu

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

They arrived. The Spyderco PM2 is off the hook. Tramendous fit and finish with great ergonomics. They Delica 4 is also sweet.

I am amazed at the quality of this knife for the price...love it!!

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Thanks fellas.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

I carry a Case Canoe everyday. Useful blades, and its rounded shape never digs in or gets hung up in my pocket.

Hunting season I always have a Kershaw Avalanche with me, as well as a good quality machete in the boat.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Those are ****ing hot. Nice Ryan.

My newest baby, a prototype from Doc Shiffer.

Very nice Tony :tu

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Thanks Mike!

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Sweet, Tony!:):tu What Is That Blade Shape, How Long Is The Blade & What Is The Weight Of That Bad Boy?

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Awesome looking knife Tony. :tu:tu

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Thanks guys!

The blade is a modified sheepsfoot design made of 1095 differentially heat treated with a ghost hamon and runs on IKBS bearings. The blade length is 3.75" with an overall length of 8.25". The scales material and backspacer is Thunderstorm Kevlar. The liners are bronzed and jeweled Titanium. The clip is milled titanium orange peeled and bronzed. Unfortunately, I don't know what the weight is though, it definitely isn't my heaviest knife that's for sure!
