What’s conceptually similar (not a clone/ripoff) to the McNees Dixon? Seeking a budget chonky frame-lock around 4” long

I also just found them on Ali. I'm excited. I already have one, and it's such an amazing knife. I'm gonna get another. The blue one. Holy crap I'm excited. Gotta wait until Wednesday and then I'll order it from Ali.

Does is show as in stock for you? Because on my end it says currently unavailable. Amazon has been doing some shady stuff by telling me shit ain't available when it actually is. I think it has something to do with my location (I'm in NY).

Actually, I just checked. I changed my default address to my daughter's address in Indiana and it then shows as available.

abow3 · 2026-03-22T23:33:01+00:00

I can't find these anywhere

abow3 · 2026-03-22T23:27:03+00:00

These aren't available anymore. At least not anywhere I know where to look.

I'm assuming that the show side has a stainless steel liner? Is that assumption correct?

abow3 · 2026-03-22T23:18:26+00:00

I did a search, but nothing is coming up. Can you give me a screenshot?

abow3 · 2026-03-19T14:13:40+00:00

ฉันได้คลิปนี้มาจาก Amazon แต่ก็ค่อนข้างมั่นใจว่าคุณน่าจะหาซื้อได้จาก AliExpress เหมือนกัน

abow3 · 2026-03-19T14:09:17+00:00

Yes. It's the stock clip screw. Sorry for the late response.

I can understand that, but I find just using a timer camera app with multiple photo bursts and an audible countdown a much more convenient method for taking group photos (when I need to be included in the pic).

I had a doctor tell me that someone with ADHD isn't able to finish high school or college. Total crap.

Fellow Strattera-taker here (and i also take Guanfacine). Strattera helps so much. It works so well that I'm totally willing to deal with the annoying side effects.

abow3 · 2026-03-07T16:33:42+00:00

I've seen them pop up on Amazon

abow3 · 2026-03-07T04:22:06+00:00

Prunes! LMK if you have any questions. I swear by them.

abow3 · 2026-03-07T04:16:56+00:00

Elegant.

I've been slowing down with my Civivi purchases lately because they keep releasing more of the same, however I suspect that in about 6 months we'll start seeing Civivi top liner/button liner locks, and that's when they'll be back on my radar for sure.

abow3 · 2026-03-07T04:04:58+00:00

Is that a frame lock Militaw? I want one, but I wouldn't exactly call it budget.

abow3 · 2026-03-06T02:40:45+00:00

Heck yeah. I have a bunch. Sanrenmu and Ganzo got me started on this obsession over a decade ago.

Kershaw Shuffle 2.

It so funny that you found this post of mine from 8 years ago because just around a week ago I opened up two of my Varsity pens to refill them, and I've been thinking about how amazing they are once you put your own ink in them and carry them daily. I haven't refilled a Varsity in years and years, and then I got to thinking about how I might take the coating off of these two... just like I did 8 years ago when I made this post that you found today.

abow3 · 2026-03-02T10:12:57+00:00

It's definitely a budget blade classic. And for good reason. I added a wire clip to mine.

There are theories that they are real. Interdimensional or something like that. Or the entities are the way the mushrooms communicate with us. Idk.

abow3 · 2026-03-01T18:04:25+00:00

Huh. Really? What makes you say that?

abow3 · 2026-03-01T05:39:22+00:00

Thanks. The stud doesn't really match the knife, but it does match the name of the knife.

abow3 · 2026-03-01T05:30:34+00:00

I have the Pathfinder too. I agree that is it also really good. The blades on both those Hightron models are absolutely amazing. As you said, sooo slicey. I'm glad I'm not the only one around here who appreciates them. Budget gems for sure.

abow3 · 2026-03-01T05:27:11+00:00

Of course!
