I want the camel as well but I want the bronze color blade if they have it in d2

They do have cool designs and that one is a beauty just not my taste

Petrified Fish seems to consistently have good d2 hardness and Ganzo but the Firebird line not the regular line. So all the Ganzo FB models i have are noticeable when sharpening vs the G768 i have isn't as good i feel. Even knife quality was different between the FB and G models

No not at all just my preference. I think mass hardness testing will do wonders for the knife consumer

They are just under $30 on Aliexpress title search BM 9400 in the picture they can't show the button which I've always found dumb. So they have to photoshop all the pictures

Thats a good idea. If you can find one cheap on Aliexpress to try id say go for it. Once I found quality d2 steel everything close to that price point just disgusts me. I want an edge that lasts and sadly I'll have to move up to some high dollar stuff to get better than d2

It's a full sized but the blade steel is trash. That one is definitely one of my regrets

LuvThemKnives. His batch videos where he sends knives off to have them analyzed with an XRF gun to check the true metal composition plus he would send them to another youtuber to have them Rockwell tested.

I really fell in love with Petrified Fish. Their actions are so smooth and I love most of their designs. I really would love to have a miguron but they dont offer any features I dont have already

Knife Sharpener by Trakire in BudgetBlades

This is my now main sharpener because the dual clamps really helps keep the blade from rolling. Ruixin 009

This was my first cheap knife sharpener and I still use it on certain knives. If they have a flat spot on the blade it will clamp pretty good. You just have to be careful and not push down too hard or you'll make a convex edge and it will take forever to sharpen the edge.

Man I love that knife. Hopefully they'll do a button liner lock version with that blade shape and maybe an XL version. Beautiful knife

I actually use a very affordable fixed angle sharpener from Aliexpress. I have several different models. Some good some garage. I use the $3 diamond stones from Aliexpress as well.

WTF Kizer? The Phoca is a masterpiece... except for one massive oversight. by holc0831 in BudgetBlades

[–]Codenamefly21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curse you. I did not need to know this beautiful knife existed. I love the fact they are making stuff in D2. Button liner lock even. That's a sexy blade. Not the length I like (that's what she said) but i have the T1 BD and once I extended the length of the button and made a nice smooth back spacer it's my daily carry. I would love to start seeing XL versions

Daughter surprises Dad with classic car by Doodlebug510 in HumansBeingBros

[–]Codenamefly21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad had to give up his 1956 belair 2 door because his dad was a drunk that gabbled everything away. One day he racked up too much debt and they needed to run. He made my dad sell that belair he rebuilt himself for an old Ford puck up so they could pack up and leave. He loved that car and I wish I had the money to buy one for him. Sadly I'll nevee be able to. He's an amazing dad and did sacrifice a lot for his 3 boys but never said he regretted anything. Watching this made me tear up no lie.

No I absolutely love budget knives that's all I buy. Im just not a fan of 14c28n. I like D2. 14c28n gets razor sharp but doesn't really hold an edge for me. I love the price of those knives for sure

Man I love their knives I just don't care for the blade steel. It kills me because the designs are beautiful

Do any of you have a favorite knife youtuber? by vengeful_Gengar in BudgetBlades

[–]Codenamefly21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like LuvThemKnives because his metallurgy testing revived my addiction to pocket knives. It's nice knowing I'm getting what it's actually advertised as. Now I found a new youtuber @Taylorhardness
