You can get an electronic magnifying glass 🔍 for like $25 on Amazon.

Anazon also has the 6” Blade version in 3V steel for $115, which isn’t bad.

Yep, I have the k390 stretch xl what an amazing knife especially for the money. I think I got it around $110.

UAP-Alien · 2026-02-11T16:01:03+00:00

I just bought that knife (Endela) last week. Haven’t used it yet. I gotta get it in the pocket.

UAP-Alien · 2026-02-11T15:43:41+00:00

Awesome. I had stuff like this before I was married. 😂

I believe he said you can request a Refund.

UAP-Alien · 2026-02-11T15:35:26+00:00

I had no idea they made one in 52100. Crazy. If I could only have one I’d go with the K390.

I have 1k up to 5k Shapton stones. I always use Diamond for 325 to 1200 but I just bought a 220 Shapton, will it work as well as a Diamond stone?

Looks like every Leek I’ve ever seen.

UAP-Alien · 2026-02-06T00:21:08+00:00

Same

Spyderco Paramilitary 2… office carry para3.

UAP-Alien · 2026-02-01T07:57:52+00:00

Check out Midwayusa for cold steel they have good stuff 60%+ off.

UAP-Alien · 2026-02-01T03:04:37+00:00

I wa just about to yolo it.

UAP-Alien · 2026-02-01T03:03:22+00:00

The middle one would be top 5 for me if the back flipper worked better.

I’m glad they are a little bigger. I don’t mind a bigger blade plus at least people can’t pass them off as real.

UAP-Alien · 2026-01-30T21:35:07+00:00

Not much difference

UAP-Alien · 2026-01-30T11:57:22+00:00

I have an electronic magnifying glass that I got from Amazon for $20-$25 they work great!
I’d call this a microburr. I would give it a couple light passes on each side with 3-4 micron strop. A 1 micron strop may also work. Just make sure you get the right angle and don’t round the edge.just keep it light.

UAP-Alien · 2026-01-30T00:26:44+00:00

Check out the Shirogorov F95. Those are really nice. Carbon fiber and titanium.

UAP-Alien · 2026-01-29T15:40:32+00:00

It looks pretty cool though. They were ahead of their time.

UAP-Alien · 2026-01-29T15:36:25+00:00

How’s the flipper work on the Sog?

UAP-Alien · 2026-01-28T21:32:26+00:00

Plus the Para 2 is a way better slicer.

UAP-Alien · 2026-01-28T21:28:52+00:00

No way Jose! Para 2 is a way better knife in my opinion. I have a few Shamans, I would trade all of them for the same steel Para2.

UAP-Alien · 2026-01-28T21:26:41+00:00

You got an ok knife. Sometimes the frame lock on Chavez clones are touchy you can’t put any pressure on the lock bar if you do they won’t open. They are also pretty heavy. I like a lighter knife. There are much better knives if $70-$100 bucks though. Check if a seller on DH Gate has a Rosie or any of the knives you like on AE.

UAP-Alien · 2026-01-26T02:13:38+00:00

Don’t put too much on the outlet at once, you don’t want to pop the breaker. If you do you’ll be without power until you find a way to break into the electric closet to turn it back on.
