Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
Going thru my dresser, sorting clothes for an upcoming trip, I ran across these I had hidden away in the past:
A small Buck assisted opener My favorite knife as a teen (not my original), Case XX Sod Buster, Jr. And I do own the regular Sod Buster

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
And one my wife had to hunt down for me. A folder made for backpacking. The Buck Revolution:
That's a carabiner made as part of the blade, for clipping onto backpack loop for quick, easy access Here it is opened halfway Open all the way and locked. Push button is the lock and unlock, Not assisted opening

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
Very nice, Tony. Interesting blade shape you chose.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
Thanks Bryan! The blade shape is a modified or tactical Wharncliffe.
BTW, I am totally jealous of that snakebite bottle opener! I want a Burchtree blade so bad but I'm sure it is well outside of my price range. I was in a lottery for a chance to buy a lefty mid-tech he had made but I didn't win and really didn't have the funds to pay for it if I had...lol

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.

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.

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.

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.
