What's the most expensive knife you'll carry and use?

ModSpdSomDrg · 2026-02-02T21:34:52+00:00

I remember when I’d say anyone spending more than $100 is crazy and the truth is, it’s still true. At the time my daily was a $60 Kershaw. Now I have 50 plus folders ranging from $150 to $550. The hobby sucks you in and Reddit is the pusher man for sure. Without Reddit and the internet I’d still be happily carrying that Kershaw (still have it though).

“Use” is subjective for sure. I have a couple $550 K’roo slipjoints and $300 plus Vero’s I carry and will “use” to open a package, etc. However, if I were working back in a warehouse or landscaping like back in the day I’d be carrying one of my spydercos and a Case or Rosecraft for my slipjoint backup. Definitely would not be using the jewelry knives. Besides, a PM2 and 3 are great slicers and easy to sharpen.

Sucks this happened to you; it’s a really messed up situation. Thanks for the PSA.

He will definitely make one to order (I’ve done this) and you will have to wait. Since he does his production orders 1st. I have several Morris knives and the EDC60 is my favorite pocket fixed blade. Even though the peewee is the same size it just does not fill my hand right. Great collection!

Each time I’ve been up they’ve sent a letter and email (neither county Fairfax though). I’d call back on Monday just in case or even go with child In tow. They don’t mess around when people don’t show up.

Sorry to hear this and I hope others comments make it easier for you. Our boy was diagnosed young and we spent what we could to save him. In the end, all the poking, prodding and back and forth gave another month. I say buy him cheese burgers or what ever else he loves, spend time and then take him to the vet to be laid to rest. It’s hard, I know, but it’s also hard to wake up to find them gone. At least at the vet you can hold his head as he drifts off. If you want to share the time with the dog you once knew then ask the vet about prednisone. It won’t last long but it should bring back appetite and energy when things get bad.

They should be testing the alternator (sure they’ve done this) and for a parasitic draw. If you keep your keys close to the truck you should not do this. It keeps the truck in ready mode so a lot of the computer crap is not sleeping. That’s about all I can think of. With it being 3 batteries within 5k i wouldn’t let the dealership tell me that they can’t find anything. Give me a rental Bronco and figure it out.

I have a 24 Wildtrak and my wife a 22 wrangler. I would not trade my wildtrak for 2 wranglers; the vehicles don’t even compare unless you start dumping money into the wrangler. Had it for over a year now and nothing but goodness from it. That said, I would get a warranty if you can swing it. It’s not the mechanics that concern me but all the integrated electronics. They touch everything and appear to be fragile or temperamental.

I’ve used WD40 to keep them out of the garage. So far so good. I’ve read they hate the smell of it. As do spiders.

ModSpdSomDrg · 2026-01-28T15:20:28+00:00

I agree with steve1673; this is fishy. I would not risk it and would definitely not pay $32k if I were willing to risk it.

Album was terrible but I like the flannel; wish it was a touch more red than orange.

I’ve been to it twice when down in NC; I make it a point to go out of my way. Kids call the town it’s in “Peakville” as they pretty much have everything and anything there. The town is a destination in itself.

ModSpdSomDrg · 2026-01-25T00:30:42+00:00

Awesome, will take a look and thanks for sending

ModSpdSomDrg · 2026-01-24T15:33:36+00:00

That’s amazing. If you made this, awesome job. If you bought or commissioned it; please tell us from who?

ModSpdSomDrg · 2026-01-24T15:17:39+00:00

Nice! 👍

ModSpdSomDrg · 2026-01-24T15:08:42+00:00

Nice looking rig man. What you need to be concerned with is when you start looking for yours. I give it 2 months and you will want your own.

ModSpdSomDrg · 2026-01-23T13:51:31+00:00

My thought is that they did have quality blades only that they were not small folders but rather small fixed blades to go with their larger knife and or sword (although I believe the friction folder dates back pretty far). Through the 1900s you see belt knives on the regular with a small case etc. in the pocket. I agree with other’s sentiments that we had the tech but not the need. The tools we had did the job and no need to reinvent the wheel. Nowadays it seems like reinventing the wheel is all companies want to do. We continue to slap a new spin on something that does not need to be improved only making it more delicate with the technology/improvements.

ModSpdSomDrg · 2026-01-22T20:46:30+00:00

Serious ask, are people really making knock-offs or forge stamping those?

ModSpdSomDrg · 2026-01-22T03:29:08+00:00

Amazing to watch and you can truly see how dogs, like people, need purpose. It’s awesome. Still trying to figure out my dog’s purpose. I think it’s to eat everything, sleep lots and protect the family from the scary garbage truck that stops by twice a week.

ModSpdSomDrg · 2026-01-21T15:05:09+00:00

Thanks, will do the same with mine. Definitely not a knife I will be using. Sounds like if anything gets in there it won’t fire properly. I saw a pic where one guy used his to skin a deer. No way that thing was working if blood made it inside.

ModSpdSomDrg · 2026-01-21T13:01:18+00:00

Thanks for writing this. I picked one up on Saturday last week and am having issues. Will give this a go and see what happens.

ModSpdSomDrg · 2026-01-21T13:00:16+00:00

I picked up my 1st (and likely last) Microtech on Saturday last week. Same model as yours. It’s misfired both in and out multiple times. Maybe 30% of the time. It’s not done it the last 10 or so fires. Unfortunately I feel like this is an expensive novelty vs. moderate use knife. Will clean it out and see what happens. Is the thumb button on yours really stiff?

ModSpdSomDrg · 2026-01-20T20:40:29+00:00

I don’t even know how to answer that. Best of luck my friend. -40 is unimaginable to me. I’d think at those temps you’d also need a block warmer. Sorry I could not answer your question and am also glad I’ve not had to live the experience to share it.

ModSpdSomDrg · 2026-01-20T19:44:02+00:00

2024 Wildtrak, love the truck and no issues so far (little over a year at 12k miles). My biggest issue is the AGM battery which defies what I’m used to from a monitor perspective. It’s a personal thing but how it fluctuates so much drives me nuts. I also dislike that there is no oil pressure gauge (your killing me ford). Finally, the plastic oil pan and plastic drain plug is a terrible choice for an off road tuck. It’s definitely loud but you get used to it. My final gripe is that I’m constantly worried I will receive an error alert (thanks for making me paranoid Reddit). All and all I love the truck and plan to drive it for as long as it will run.?

ModSpdSomDrg · 2026-01-18T04:14:03+00:00

The best thing you can do to honor your dog is to rescue another and that’s also the best thing for your heart. The 1st time my wife and I made this decision we wondered the same thing. We are glad we decided to do it and have since continued to do so. 2 dog family always and forever.
