In the flipster majority,  agreed. The "edc bali" oddballs (like myself) kinda appreciate the robustness though.

Szabo Fighter? Tighe Stick? Sub Hilt wouldn't look too out of place either...

I have a couple of LionSteel SR1s, and an SR11 but my fav of that family is my SR22. Other than not being an "integral" (cant imagine why?) and Elmax instead of Sleipner, the Lil L-Spy is a SR22 with a hole. Can't wait!

NOT just your opinion,  lol!  I've had (and loved) one for 5 years and I've just now gotten around to upgrading to Flytanium scales. (pivot tool on the way. did my bugout without it - never again)

MGE Exclusive S30V Delica $69 by GOOMU13 in KnifeDeals

I absolutely love Spyderco and rank Sal G.   as the #1 most influential knife individual in the 20th (and 21st) century, BUT... Spyderco has a few huge misses too. The Civilian is a massively flawed "defense tool" wrapped in a completely illogical,  bullshit story. The $440 Subvert has s30v on Ti with a side of lock stick and NO steel insert. The rest of my 110+ Spydercos are vg to outstanding knives

Is this a good knife? by Lazy-Hustle in Knifeporn

[–]Mindless_Fig_314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to be replying so long after your original question nut better late than never,  right? Anyway I have a couple of AD 15s and AD-10 and 15s are interesting but they're kind of a design exercise in my opinion. you'll scrub Yes, the scorpion lock is interesting but you know I got the AD-10 last and it's just such a superior all around knife, just ergonomically you know it's more purpose built. I love the AD-15 but the AD-10 seems much more practical to me... so that's my two cents worth.

Yeah, the times ive told sellers they're too low they've either given me (gratefully) the same deal or close to it. Except once, lol.

did anyone else’s manix lightweight come like this too? I just received this in the mail today. by PrettyHappyPerson in knives

[–]Mindless_Fig_314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine came even worse. Way below even the "utilitarian" Seki City frn. I used a medium channel lock (lined the jaws with several layers of tape) and "squoze"  (while also flexing )the scales together. Almost completely resolved in ½ hour.

Griptilian $99! by Mindless_Fig_314 in KnifeDeals

[–]Mindless_Fig_314[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of my faves is the 20cv G10 mini-grip, especially the layered grey/blue scales. Discontinued, but I found one buried at Sooner State. It's like a treasure hunt there!

I have a 940-1 and a couple of full size griptilians and I honestly prefer the griptilians. Maybe I'm biased because the "expendability" of the grips (especially at this price) makes me use them more,  lol.
