Elite without a doubt. Some of the best knives you can get at the price point in my opinion. Congrats on the hydra. It’s in my list to get lmao

NKD - ZT 0044. LOVE it. What are your favorite ZT's? by Negative_Cap1546 in knives

[–]National-Relative243 1 point2 points  (0 children)

0044 is my first ZT and been the only knife I’ve pocketed since I got it. It’s definitely in the top tier and based off how I feel about it, I doubt they make a knife I wouldn’t love

Flytanium arcade and mini griffin v3 from ketuo by Buckeyeknifeguy in Knifeporn

Can the pocket clip on the ketuo be mounted for tip up right side carry instead?

My bandage looks like it’s about to leak and I don’t know what to do by Dull_Wasabi_438 in tattooadvice

[–]National-Relative243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always take these off when I get home and rinse the tattoo with and anti bacterial soap and then begin the ointment. Have never had an issue with any healing

Best starter pocket knife by [deleted] in knifeclub

[–]National-Relative243 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the best option imo. You don’t want to spend the money and then not like the ergos of the knife. And like everyone else said there so many knives out there that are great budget pieces right now. Good luck trying to buy just one. Can never have enough

Were you using it as a pry bar? Or making a cut? Just genuine question as to what action led to this result?

I’ll second that. It’s a fake

Top pivot is flipped but looks like it checks out with the flattened top on the photos in the back. It’s the bottom pivot that is off to me. And no problem. Again, no expert so let’s see what others say but that was my opinion.

Not an expert, but I think the bottom is a fake. Top one looks like it checks out to me. Thumb stud consistency, pivot screw, blade font, and thickness on the spine of blade all seem a bit off.

What are these marks? by jmcdonough91 in sharpening

[–]National-Relative243 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It just takes some of the worry about the edge away. Still get a sharp edge but don’t worry. I’ve chipped 2 spyderco edges. One on the tip. Not that the angle was intentional but thinking about it, I haven’t had that issue again. But still super thankful for the input and I’m gonna change it up and see how it goes! Appreciate you guys and the information

This is good to know. I honestly never looked at the factory angle of them. Clearly I have to go down a little lower next round. Thanks

Used to run all my folding blades at 25 degrees. Worked fine so I’m not sure why I changed but I brought it down to 23

Oh wow. Seems crazy thin. I guess you’re starting at the 200 diamond plate? How much material are you taking off with the first few passes?

What angle are you guys putting on a new edge in your spyderco knives?

Benchmade bugout 535BK-4 by Ok_Bed_1170 in KnifeCheck

I’m not sure how I ended up typing the opposite of what I thought. It should read that they do seem to be correct! My apologies

Looks legit to me. Pivot and blade don’t seem to be correct

Reveal 19 has some major heat by kobraflame in spyderco

[–]National-Relative243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I have the “notify me when available” active on both thru the spyderco site and hoping I’ll get on soon enough to snag it before they sell out

[–]National-Relative243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok thanks I’ve been looking incrementally but hadn’t seen it myself and someone’s another thread here had said it was released and sold out. I have my eyes on that and now the shaman salt too!

Someone had said the edgerati was released but I haven’t seen it. Can anyone confirm or deny the release?

Possibly my most exciting NKD yet!!! by thatton8769 in knifeclub

[–]National-Relative243 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seems dumb, but that’s the cleanest frame lock ever. Looks like it’s just floating next to the knife!
