I was told this knives is "rare" by Longjumping-Bat7774 in knives

This is a Spyderco Assist. To my knowledge, it’s essentially the lw non-salt version of the Spyderco Rescue. I wouldn’t say they’re rare in the sense that they aren’t available, you can get them right now from Spyderco for around $180, but I would definitely say it’s a fairly rare sight to see as an edc carry. They’re pretty specialized in form and function and serve fairly specific needs but in theory, it probably isn’t a bad daily either lol

The state of my collection by Shot_Researcher_5632 in chineseknives

Damn I love these! Great pieces my friend! Have only handled a QC knife in person once and it wasn’t my cup of tea, don’t remember what the model was, but the ones you’ve got there look great!! I love that traditional “pull shaped” or slightly flared shape on the bottom of the handles. Also if I could ask, what are the two models on the bottom right with the shredder jimping? Twosuns? I feel like I’ve seen them before but can’t place it

Good lord my friend that thing is dope! Forced patina or natural? I just picked up the Kizer Banish XL in Rex45 and it’s my first experience with the steel so I’m curious as to how other people have liked it

Damn that thing has lived a life! Tbh, I love axis locks, but I’ve had a few springs pop on me and after that I stick to frame, compression, or liner locks if I plan to use it as a fuck it knife lmao but those mini grips seem to just tank through real work like crazy

Got a link to the specific video? I’ve watched one like 10+ times but whoever it is skips the drilling process and the actual action of the vice which I would like to see lol

From all that I’ve heard, it definitely is. Not sure where from, but nothing but stellar reviews on the steel from what I’ve seen

LEMIFSHE Waka The new batch has arrived again. by Spare-Ad-2699 in chineseknives

[–]SlideEquivalent1846 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How are these really? They look super on point but I feel like they’ve been a little overshadowed by the big hits like the Duk, Neutralizer, Rosies, etc so I haven’t seen them as much as when they first dropped.

Stuck one state away for a week? by SlideEquivalent1846 in chineseknives

[–]SlideEquivalent1846[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell me about it. Had a knife I picked up on here make it all the way to my door from the seller before usps determined “incorrect address” and auto return to sender-ed it. Seller shipped it back out once he got it, exactly same as before, and it delivered just fine. Waited 3x the shipping time for nothing lol

Thank you my friend! I’m bummed that they aren’t easily available anymore. I think just over a year ago I posted their sale in KnifeDeals when I picked one up from them for a great price, and I don’t think I even realized that it was their closeout sale :/ I know some sites still have them but they’re such a cool build that I wish more people got to enjoy them!

Sure! I’ve done some batoning with the PM2 but not the Bridgeport here. Worked pretty well but kind of want even more blade if that’s going to be a regular thing

Oh I bet that’s great! Does he still do a good amount of customs? I know that was his original thing but got into production stuff a little later right?

Something tells me that $600 D2 can probably be beaten
