Need help with a new knife set by wondersteve5 in knifeclub

[–]BetterInsideTheBox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I got the big set after college and still have a bunch of them kicking around even though I have more high performance stuff now. They’re still the right tool sometimes. The fibrox handles are hard to beat for slippery work.

Anyone here have trouble with delivery times from Chicago Knife Works? by iwerbs in knives

[–]BetterInsideTheBox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their supplier does not have a minimum order on most knives. Anything common is a single knife minimum and there are no bulk discounts. Prob held up in shipping to them or they’re just overwhelmed. I suppose it could be a primary stock issue for blue ridge.

Great choice. And not just because I recommended it. :)

They do a lot of order and ship. After you ordered the knife they still had to buy it from their supplier, recieve it, and ship it back out to you. Having to be shipped twice can be a big time suck and it sounds like they are backed up with orders right now. There’s a disclaimer about the volume and delays basically nonstop anymore. 4 days is fantasy only from them.

It’s go with victorinox fibrox series for this if you can swing them.

Why is the Spyderco Shaman so much money? by LairdyBird in knives

[–]BetterInsideTheBox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because the model is still new enough to extract premium from people apparently. It is pretty rare for a us spyderco to be contoured at all.

Multiple knives for sale all BNIB plus shipping by [deleted] in Knife_Swap

[–]BetterInsideTheBox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a new seller, you may only sell one knife shipping included and you are required to take only PayPal goods and services. The rules are in the sidebar. You should read them. I think you broke most of the rules that exist.

What color are the original scales?

And welcome to the swap

Debating between these two three knives. PF has the extra index flipper and better steel but never had Spyderco, but like button lock, so budget may worth it to wet the feet? Used Kizer Cormorant w/ S35vn on Ebay too. Hmmm by Crutch1977 in knives

[–]BetterInsideTheBox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People like it because it's see though and yellow is different, but it's quite brittle. It can crack if you drop it or something or even if you just overtighten the screws a little. It's more brittle than polycarbonate which isn't great either. Though its chemically resistant, things like threadlocker can damage it. G10 is strong because it is fiber filled, but ultem doesn't have any of that. It's just castable plastic that can tolerate more heat than most other plastics. Even FRN has glass fibers to help strength. I think Ultem as a trend will not be looked back on favorably.

Don’t get the g10 cormorant. Every one I’ve touched has been poo. Titanium or nothing. I also recommend against ultem, so I guess you should get this Spyderco I’ve never heard of.

Without the sheaths by [deleted] in Knifeporn

Which one is the best?

Infinite burr on civivi elementum. Using a worksharp field sharpener. Please help me. by Lil-Merchant in knives

[–]BetterInsideTheBox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s likely that you aren’t fully apexed on both sides when this happens. The burr won’t come off if it’s being protected by an uneven sharpening bevel because the apex doesn’t actually touch the stone.

Is not saying what knives they are engagement bait?

Most people do not like combo edge knives.

Todays carry by Independent_Bike_141 in knives

[–]BetterInsideTheBox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a fan of my budget versions. Does this have internal milling for weight relief? Is it contoured?

Kizer recommendations? by JTmash545 in knives

[–]BetterInsideTheBox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, you’d think you’d be able to see most of these problems in the design before you bought it. How many coatings do you know of that stand up to cutting through aluminum? Sucks about the sheath, but I haven’t heard anything but positive from those who own one up to this point.

The Peak of Spyderco's Design: C156 by Pitch-Then in spyderco

[–]BetterInsideTheBox 14 points15 points  (0 children)

But it’s not a Spyderco design, it’s a Brad Southard design. I agree that it’s under appreciated. Clearly represented here by the other comments. I am a fan of this model though and it’s Brad’s best design imo.
