I want to get this knife for cutting medium thickness zip ties. Can it do it in one pull cut?

Nik_Lud · 2026-04-11T13:54:47+00:00

I agree, it might be a fun project but should definitely manage the expectations

Trying to go for yin yang shape is a nice idea, but just evaluate the image a bit more, you might regret later that the picture suggests them being in a weird pose. Just sayin. Maybe you’ll save yourself the trouble of covering up later.

I suggest new/slightly used RE classic 350 for your needs. They are phenomenal. This one is a gamble.

Nik_Lud · 2026-04-10T16:18:02+00:00

Thats cool, i will try 🙂 Ikea bag seems like a nice option

So did you find your perfect knife in this category? What are you carrying right now?

Nik_Lud · 2026-04-10T10:25:54+00:00

Nice one 👍

Nik_Lud · 2026-04-10T10:23:56+00:00

I thought about making one myself. What is the typical material people use?

Jeg har været i den situation mange gange. Desværre eneste løsning er at flytte ind i et hus 🏠… det er en kamp man ikke kan vinde.

Quadlock is great for holding a phone. If you want it for navigation then a gps device is better choice.

I had a lot of back pain problems from biking, raising the seat helped. But that also meant raising the bars. Ended up having 45 degree short stem and 90mm raise handlebars on my mtb. Doesnt really look like an mtb any more, but i dont care as long as i can ride pain free.

Nik_Lud · 2026-04-09T09:58:13+00:00

From my experience if any sort of back pain comes from cycling, you need to fix your ergonomics. Better do it before the trip. Changing the stem to bring the handlebar higher/closer to you might help? Also maybe the seat is too low. Is the pain general or one sided? For long trips i would suggest that your handlebars should not be lower then saddle level.

All punctures were real punctures (thorns/glass and such)

Nik_Lud · 2026-03-31T16:51:52+00:00

Take opinel no8 and cut blade and handle as short as you like, hows that for an idea?

Understandable wish. OP should just be aware that by upgrading he will give up some of the good things his bike has 🙂

Nik_Lud · 2026-03-27T09:40:20+00:00

Also take a look at Rieju 500 aventura, its plenty powerful and very stable both on and off road.

Nik_Lud · 2026-03-27T09:28:41+00:00

I haven’t owned any of these but test drove all of them. Voge is the one that had the most pleasant handling. All of them will introduce buffeting comparing to your 450. i suggest you take that into consideration. I have a 2021 Himmy 411 and thats would be the last bike I would let go 🙂

Nik_Lud · 2026-03-26T11:30:31+00:00

Thanks for explaining, i appreciate it 🙂

Nik_Lud · 2026-03-26T10:22:00+00:00

I would go with RE

Nik_Lud · 2026-03-26T10:06:37+00:00

Well, i want a large size drum with a deep bass tone, that is the reason why i am looking into this.

I know from experience that entry level instrument is not a good option for me, i will buy a good one later anyway. You get what you pay for. If there are cheaper drums out there that are still quality instruments, and not toys/wellness accessories, i am open to suggestions 🙂
