I am on EDCfourms, you may want to try there as well.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Thanks for the tip, I'll do that. :tu
I hate to sell of these knives, but they just sit in the safe. I'd rather move them to someone who will get more enjoyment out of them, and buy something I'll use as an EDC.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Big :td for blade forums, have to pay to upgrade membership to even ask what a knife is worth

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

:r

If you send me all the info you have on/about the knife I can ask for you. I have a paid membership there.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Thanks! I may take you up on that, I'm going to try microholics and another knife board as well, just to see what the market is like. If there isn't enough interest out there or the values aren't what I'm comfortable with, I'll gladly keep these and save up for the Sebbie.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

This blade is available in the FS section if anybody is interested.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Finally put my Microtech and Dalton up for sale a couple days ago, started the values on the high end of what I've found and have been slowly dropping them until I get a buyer or hit the minimum price I'll take for each.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Nice ZT Justin! I love mine.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Just ordered this Kryptoglow scale for my ZT 0550, the stock scale is the only thing I do not love about the knife:

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Geez I leave this thread for a while and it blows up! Some great pickups around here for sure. I did get a new custom Benchmade grip from the wife for Christmas but haven't got any pictures to post up yet.

I did receive an email from one of the makers that I ordered a custom from so that should be coming in the next month or 2. I will try to get some pics up as soon as I can of that.

Keep those pics coming! :tu

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Got an unexpected bonus at work, and the wife said I should buy that knife I've been wanting :tu Now to figure out what to get...really torn between the classic small sebenza, or the small with snake wood inlay. Wilson Combat has their large starbenza in stock as well as the Star-Tac, which is an unum.

Decisions, decisions, and I'd better act fast before she can change her mind :lr

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

OUt of the ones you mentioned Brian, I would go with the Star-Tac without question...

Mainly, because I like the umnum much more than the sebbies. :tu

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

I think I'm going to wait to get the star-tac, the Sebbie has been a grail knife for me for about 10 years. I think I'm finally settled on the small with the insingo blade. I really like the wood inlay but I'm not convinced they'll hold up to daily carry as well and worth the extra cost.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Or not...pulled the trigger on the snakewood inlay today. Did some research on the inlays and they seem like they're stuck in there pretty good, plus I know CRK stands behind their work.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Longknocker has one with some sort of inlay I believe

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

He does, posted it a few pages back, really good looking knife.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Anyone recommend a cheap non serrated spring assisted blade?

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Depends on your definition of "cheap".

What is your price range?

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Check out Kershaw and SOG, both have some reasonably priced models.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

I carry a CRKT Delegate regularly, always been a fan of that company:

Kershaw blur is nice

My grail knife showed up today, I absolutely love it

Beautiful piece!!!

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Grats bro!

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Thanks guys, I debated for a while about which model to get, and I'm really happy with my decision. The size is perfect for my hand and its built like a tank.

my wife had this made and sent it to me.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

That is one cool looking knife. After seeing your post I looked into CR knives a little. Didn't realize your knife is titanium, very cool, they have a great looking line up.

Congrats.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Congrats Murf on the grail knife. Those Reeves are awesome.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Under $50.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

The only thing I can think of is a chinese Kershaw in that price range. I personally stay away from assited opening knives and flippers in most cases, personal prefference however with a cheap assisted you have a high risk of the assist failing eventually. And it also limits your options :2

The real questions is what do you intend to do with the knife.
Open mail, open boxes, widdle, self defense, prybar, etc...?
Do you need it to be light weight, small, large, etc...?

If you are going to go chinese, you might as well go Spyderco. But prolly not much there in the way of assisted.
Spyderco makes the best chinese blades, not good steel obviously but fit and finish is good.

The kershaw skyline is an excellent american steel, light weight and slim that fits into a pocket. Not assisted though. One of the all time classic EDC knives that fits your budget. Not a tactical design though, better for letter opening as the blade is slim and it only has a single liner.

I have a partial-serrated assisted chinese kershaw. I did some not great filing of the scales to make it more comfortable in the hand. If you want it, it's yours and $50 under budget.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

A good, cheap assisted blade would be the Kershaw Cryo which sells for around $30. It's big brother the Cryo 2 should be coming out soon for about 40.

You can also look at the Kershaw Leek, assisted and made in the USA for around 40 or the Blur also US made for around 50. :tu

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

People do love those Cryos, excellent recommendation! :tu
It is an affordable version of a great design.
If you are set on assisted and are okay with chinese steel this is a sure winner!

For about $15.00 over budget you could get a Kershaw knockout, USA knife!

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Thanks bro, I couldn't be happier with it.

All good recommendations, have to admit, I was tempted to add a Cryo to my cart this weekend when placing an order to qualify for free shipping. Opted for a flashlight instead.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Another look at my scale, still love this knife. Why can't I ever remember to clean the blade before taking a picture?:

Hoping to get my MM custom friction folder soon.
I have been dying to get this thing!

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Looks awesome Shane, I have some neon green paracord inbound, if you want a lanyard to match, shoot me a PM, I'd be glad to hook you up.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Hey... what is that stainless steel pen? looks cool...

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

It is a Maxmadco SS bolt action pen, super solid & heavy. It uses Pilot gel refills, I love that pen.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Carrying my unagressive folder today. Kershaw Skyline

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Forums are bad for my bank account...I blame Shane for this

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

So some of you may have seen my Silent Soldier Flipper for sale. I notated a disclaimer that it had some minor blade rock. I sent Jason Brouse an e-mail stating such. He said "Send it to me, I can fix it". I shipped it out and it came back perfect and solid at no charge. He also included a few stickers and a cool sheep skinned lined pouch.
You can judge customer service on how they respond to a problem, and gotta say Jason is awesome!!!
