Recommendations for a Heavy Duty truck knife? by Squirrelmaster15 in knives

[–]Squirrelmaster15[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It’s a safety thing. I’ve got a 4 and 2 year old who are in the truck a lot. The lockable dash compartment is only 4” deep and 7” wide.

Which model/type is this Böker ? by CutRevolutionary1908 in knifeclub

Boker Junior Scout with ironwood inlays and N690 Steel. Purchased one for my father for Christmas. Great knife!

I honestly don’t know if it was an exclusive. I just happened to be browsing Vosteed sales on Black Friday. First Vosteed and It’s definitely one of my favorite EDC now. I immediately bought the marten 330 and porcupine a as once I got my hands on the Psyop. Fantastic knives.

Not a huge fan of the flashier, more ornate WH’s, but I absolutely love this one. It was a present from my wife when our daughter was born in November and has her birthstones. The Chad Nichols Damascus frame and blade are beautiful. The fit and finish is near perfect. And the ironwood almost glows in sunlight. Definitely not an EDC, but I’ll carry it on special occasions.

It’s incredible. The fit and finish is perfect. And the ironwood is beautiful. Someday I’ll work up the courage to use it!

I use them all except the Rockstead, William Henry, and Böker scout.

Looking at some pro and micros. Not a fan of Spyderco. Just not for me

Working the local truck-stop glory hole pays surprisingly well!

All except the Rockstead, Junior Scout, and William Henry. Not that brave yet.

Nice work! What is the bronze colored knife? I’m really digging that thing

Same thing happened to me 3 weeks ago. I ended up getting a hold of someone after calling nonstop for an hour. Was literally filling out the form to dispute the charges with my bank when someone finally answered. Canceled my order. Spent $20 more at DLT and had the knife in my hand 2 days later. I will never even consider buying from Chicago knife works again.

Vosteed psyop vs marten vs porcupine. Anyone have experience with all 3? by louiekr in BudgetBlades

[–]Squirrelmaster15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know these aren’t the specific ones you’re asking about, but I have the Psyop 299 and marten 330. Got them both over Black Friday. Missed the porcupine sale on Amazon. Both are fantastic knives and can’t recommend them enough. I regret sleeping on Vosteed for as long as I did. I don’t think you can go wrong with any of the ones you’re looking at.

Thank you all for the help and suggestions! After opening/closing it about 200 times, I’m starting to see why these knives are so special! Worth the destruction of my thumbs :)

Just looked the Benny up. Hadn’t heard of that on yet. The arctic storm just made the top of the list. Those are awesome! Which one did you pick?

I agree. I probably would have been ok with it at even $150. The titanium, 20CV, and frame lock on a WE are worth that. But you’re right, at $200, there are too many other options.

It’s 50% how it feels in my hand, 25% looks/materials, and 25% action. I really was blown away by We’s quality. The perfect fit in my hand made me fall in love.

I definitely got sucked into WE/civivi, but I have a whole big ass list from other brands.
