Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

I bought myself a Microtech L-UDT for Christmas based on Greg's comments. Man that is one sweet knife!!! I got it from Blade HQ and was very pleased with the service. I didn't shop the price much but am happy even if I paid a few $$s too much.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

I use to EDC a Benchmade 3550SBK, but then I got a bit worried of losing it (and I need to send it back to Benchmade for some refurbishment as it's been well used) and switched over to a simple Kershaw Oso Sweet. The semi-assisted open is very nice (quick flick to get it open), and there's a nice heft to it.

It may not be sexy as my auto, but I'm also not going to get worried if it goes lost.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Yeah....Like THIS!

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

You are in good hands with BladeHQ. They are currently taking care of a problem in one of my autos for me. Great vendor, they deal with Microtech so you don't have to. That's a bigger favor then it sounds like. Getting a hold of Microtech by anything other than Email.......just doesn't happen.

You sir are correct, there is no better folder made....oh wait yeah there is DUH the XM-24 :r :r :r :r. I keed I keed. The XM-18/24 are the best folders out there IMHO. I gotta get one someday. I've carried one before though.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Uh... NO!!! I'm tellin' ya. I love this one... but guns are more my thing. I have more of them than I need too, but I can't see myself going over the cliff on knives. Unless of course I kill the monthly box split:r:r

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Huh, I hadn't heard that. I have 2 from them and never had any problems, of course it has been a year or two since I last bought one from them. Thanks for the heads up.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Great choice. I bought mine from the same place and I have not seen them cheaper. Im currently EDCing the OLIVE version of the L-UDT with black blade (pictured below) but ill will be buying your exact model this coming paycheck.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

I just scored my first 2 Case knives on ebay. Both are Jeff Gordon limited edition collector's knives, but I've been wanting something from Case for quite a while. :wo

Oh, BTW, congrats Brent!

still waiting for it to ship. It was a limited release new years thing. I cant wait to get it in my grubby little paws. I promise not to pull a Scott and accidentally cut myself the first day hahahahha

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

I told a few people I'd toss this beast up after it was finished.

Wave modded for instant deployment. I'll be looking to get a similar custom knife done with more blade length and width. Probably a double edge sharpened tip. Sometime later this year probably we'll see.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

I carry a Kershaw Chive all the time. I use it as a money clip so most people never know i have it even when i take money out of it. I also have a pretty good collection of knives, over 300 last time I counted, and I carry different knives at different time for different reasons. but I do have a few favorites. Benchmade is one I have a couple of that I carry.

Benchmade 850:

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Just ordered a Kershaw Packrat. Really looking forward to adding it to my little group of EDC's.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

My new Benchmade just arrived in the mail. Its smaller than I thought it would be. But the first production and number 111 out of 500 is a nice touch. I love tripple numbers! My L-UDT is number 1555 and this one is 111.

Pictures shortly.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

I've been acquiring some vintage knives on ebay. Hoping to start a collection, but mostly to resell on ebay. One I'm looking forward to receiving is an LF&C (Landers, Frary & Clark) pocket knife.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

I'm a little late with this but Today I found out Lone Wolf was bought by Benchmade. While this may get lone wolf designs out there and more affordable Im sure going to miss the hand crafted quality of Lone Wolf. Please don't screw this up Benchmade.

R.I.P. Lone Wolf.

Christmas present from the parents, and since my mom works for a distributer we got it at a nice discount. So far it is great, extremely sharp as my thumb and middle finger can attest to.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

I picked up a SOG Micron II the other day...needed a knife for my keychain and so far so good. It keeps a nice edge and is durable, if only it locked.

I have a H&K knife made by Benchmade. I do have my eyes on a Chris Reeve sebenza.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Very NICE!

I just picked up the new Spyderco Resilience and an Ontario Rat Model 1. I was looking for a larger blade without paying exorbitant prices. Pics posted later.

You're a quick study Wolfie!! Nice pics! :tu

This CRKT Badger Gallagher 7120 Assisted opening knife has made it into my camo sheath and is getting it's fair share of use these days!

All right Wolfie, how about this pic?

Looks great Scott. You are quite the creative spirit huh.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Hehe, the "Ice cream" truck just came to the shop! Thats what we call the tool man. Couldn't resit getting a new flash light, and ordered a very nice knife for my dad. I really had to resit getting another knife. I will post pics tomorrow!

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Way to go!

P.s. Scott, I'm pretty sharp.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

How do you like that Resilience, Mark? Is it the medium traction G10? What do you think of the 8cr13mov steel? Is it one that will be hard to sharpen and hold an edge, or not hold an edge but be easier to sharpen? Chipping? FFG= cool. I don't have any Spydercos, and might want to jump in the shallow end of their pool without going nuts. At 40-ish dollars, affordable, and worth it?
I have liked their designs for many years, just never taken the plunge.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Got this as a gift for being in a buddy's wedding party. Beats the engraved beer mug any day!

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

This one is always attached to my keys. Comes in very handy.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Its great. It fits what i was looking to do with the boxes and what not. The 8cr13mov will rust on you if you dont keep it wiped wown with rem or 3in1 oil. Im in florida and it doesnt get much more humid and ive only had an issue with one of my 8cr13mov knives. Avoid saltwater like the plague. So far with the minor things ive used it for edge retention is decent. Its very easy to sharpen. and for ~$40 for a knife with a 4+ inch blade id say you cant beat it if your looking into spydies. The G10 i would say is light to medium if you get sweaty hands it will lock in better. comes out fast and locks up strong.

Ill tell you what, if you do buy it and you dont like it ill buy it from you.

How badass would I be dual wielding resiliences?! ;s

Inspired by the last thread about cutting the cap off with a knife; I picked this up:

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Interesting - I wonder how that differs from the civi version (Strider SMF) ?

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

I carry a Case "sod buster", model 2138 SS. Great knife that comes in handy nearly every day!

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Nice ! I've had one of these knives for just about 10 years now. Mine was modified by a local jeweler who made these into automatics for the team I was on. The switch is hidden in the upper grip (I believe this is pretty common now adays). The main reason why we chose these is that the knife also locks closed; so if someone grabbed it out of your belt you had sufficient time to step back and aim before they figured out how to open it :D
Unfortunately the knife shows its scars and wear from the daily grind. However when it was made, the guy used some sort of graphite-impregnated derlin; so it still opens as fresh as it did 10 years ago. I tried to get a shot of the bushing...not clear but ya get the idea.
Here's some pics of the old war-horse:
