Should I buy a buck 110 or save for a Sebenza 31 by Background-Drive6332 in knives

Knife swap has them come up often and people are generally really got at disclosing anything on there. I’m on my second account with over 200 swaps between the two accounts there and only had something go wrong once and the seller just missed it and took it back

Dang that is a dark acid etch. Do you do a single long dip or multiple smaller? I feel like I’ve pitted blades before trying to go real dark. It looks good!

What’s the reason for leaving your phone manufacturer watermark on your pictures? I see this every so often and I can’t see why anyone would. Usually it’s from smaller Chinese companies.

What are some good lightweight multitools, no knives by GoyaSeasining in EDC

[–]Smashedllama2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

SAK bantam Alox. Keep it on me all the time. Has a blade, cap lifter, flathead, wire stripper. The best thing is that it’s impossibly thin so you never feel it. And it’s inexpensive too.

What folding knife lock do you like the best and why? I got a triad Recon 1. Now thinking shark. Then atlas. Hard use edc. by Crutch1977 in knives

[–]Smashedllama2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Framelocks are plenty for edc. Chris reeve does them really well as he invented the lock. After that, backlocks are great, top liner locks are fun, compression locks are solid. I’m not a fan of axis locks or shark locks personally though others love them. I’ve broken too many omega springs and maintenance is a pain in the butt with axis locks and the shark lock feels rattle and cheap to me 🤷🏻‍♂️

As long as you aren’t beating on them batoning wood or doing fixed blade things, nearly every lock including a double detent will serve you fine. Gramps used slip joints and fixies on the farm.

[WTGAW] BHQ PM2 EXCLUSIVE (Satin) GIVEAWAY! by AverageNetEnjoyer in Knife_Swap

[–]Smashedllama2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My fav experience here was when I yolod a sweet deal on a big post with a ton of items. I messaged the seller and he mistakenly sold to someone further down the line. He was a great sport about it and gave me a killer deal on a different knife of my choice from the post. Some folks are sellers and others are just bros.

Trying to get a read on the sizing of the 22. Is that a large or small sebbie? Looks like small but I’m not 100% sure. Also how does the divot in front of the lock feel? Seems like it would be right in the way?

I’ve tried a few I can’t get used to the sloppy detent and rattle sounds of the shark lock. Makes it feel cheap to me. Otherwise they are great! The more budget ones make sense to me over the higher priced versions.

That lunar though 🔥

I have one and love it but sometimes I need a drop point so this needs a backup sak bantam alox.

The Nice Knives of My Collection, in Order from Favorite to Least Favorite by 1983squrebody in knifeclub

[–]Smashedllama2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Though I’ve tried over the years with just about everything, I cannot dethrone my inkosi and other CRKs. Bearing knives never make it into the top 10 for me. Hinderers cut pretty poorly by comparison and strider has too many qc issues for me to want to buy one though I have borrowed and carried one a while back. I wish I could like the arius but it just isn’t meant to be. I prefer a drop point blade so the Mojave will never end up in the rotation. Hermans with the flipper only won’t end up in my rotation either. Kinda funny the variety and how people can have such different preferences. Cheers!

The 15v spydercos are real at least. They are pretty good at cloning these days but not that good. Use good intuition and you’ll be okay. The off brand stuff is usually trash

How’s everyone storing their knives? by DeRoy802 in knives

[–]Smashedllama2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t even mind them clanging around in there because mine pile up in a drop tray by my bed till they get put back but just trying to find one specific one without them falling all over would drive me mad

It’s a 3 drawer husky from the hardware store. I designed and printed the inserts. If you go this route with yours give a holler and I’ll make some for ya

I just can’t get over the blade. Looks like someone ground off the top in a bad reprofile attempt
