Spyderco PM2 Tanto.

Just when I thought Microtech and Glock would not get another penny from me. Had to Pull the trigger on this collaboration. The Microtech Glock is the only Glock Weapon that’s on the roster in California smh 🤦‍♂️

So this is probably one of the weirder tiebreakers because of how different these two knives are, but currently I’m having a hard time deciding between the new buck 110 with pocket clip and magnacut or a PM2 in magnacut. I do a ton of land management work and I’m in school for environmental science. Obviously the buck 110 has a lot of nostalgia and it’s obviously an incredibly beautiful knife.

I worry about the ability to clean both of these? Frequently, I’m cutting bundles of aquatic plants while waste deep in a creek, or cutting up different bait to try to capture a target species of fish for conservation. But I’m not mechanically smart enough to figure out which one of these would be easier to clean.

Also, the tip of the buck 110 seems incredibly thin and easy to break, but the spider hole on the paramilitary also seems like a weak point

Has this happened with any other models that you can remember?

Came from run and saw some nice dry sticks to use as a fire starter for my grill and my first stick I was about to prep my hand slipped from the handle and slide down the blade. Resulting in said picture; bad grip, sweaty hands and being tired was the culprit in my opinion. But now it has me wondering and considering a folding knife with a guard like the Project X. Feel free to let me know of recommendations or if you had similar instances of your hand slipping down to the blade.

I stabbed an empty silicone tube with my Smith&Wesson M9, here's the result. What alloy do they use in these?

I worked 16.5 hrs, commuted 1 1/2 hrs home. Showered did laundry and jetted out the door to catch my flight with the wife for a vacation. I brought my work back pack and thought I took everything out. Didn’t check a zipper compartment and forgot my crooked river was in there TSA just scored. It hurts, guys.

Also, we shuttled in and no checked bags.

Today's Carry is an older Arcane Designs model that I purchased after market, the Preytheon. It's an inset liner lock with 20CV blade steel and titanium scales with zircuti inlay. Running on ceramic bearings, with thumb studs and front flipper deployment.

Shadacious mods: just completed the “backspacer eliminator” operation with standoffs from RGT. Eliminates a bit of weight and makes it easier to clean. I prefer the open back look. This Shadacious was my test bed, and I may do it on the others soon

I found it in my drawer and bought at Walmart years ago.

I want to actually hold the knife before I decide to drop a big chunk of change on a new CRK. it will be the most i ever spent on a knife so kinda worried about liking it. My question is, where can I go to put it in my hand before purchasing? Like store fronts that carry CRK's? I'm in the Chicagoland area but do enjoy traveling

Saw that coming. GOOD LUCK FELLAS!

As the title suggests, I would at some point want to have a custom knife set with specific things. I have had two passions in life: paleontology and culinary. I recently gave up my dreams of being a paleontology curator to be a butcher (much less school and more hands on work for my ADHD self). I already have fossils and I had the thought of putting them into the handles of a knife set (whale vertebrae for a clever, whale rib for a chefs knife, deer antler for a boning knife, and a horse tooth for a paring knife). How much would that cost? Obviously this wouldn't be for a VERY long time considering I'm just now going into college, but I'm very curious

Arthur Wright Ettrick in Ironwood

Rough Ryder Canoe in Stag

+ the first leather item I made for nostalgia

The Sheffield lad in me always enjoys a good AW knife to remind me where I came from since I live in NL now and since it's made by a mate from high school it's pretty cool to have anyways!

Rough Ryders are always a nice cheap option that always seem to have nice fit and finish in my experience while looking pretty cool.

I recently got two new Kershaws and decided to pair each of my knives with a watch to select a new set for an EDC. I’m pretty fond of my set up.

Today’s carry is on the side—the Rough Ryder ReserveBar Back and the Seiko World Time.

The two new knives are the Dessert Warrior and the 2040.

The “bowie” is a Svörd Black Flag Bowie, the “Khukurutlass” is a custom from Kailash.
