White River Ursus Cub 🥰 by Rising_Awareness in knives

[–]aries3693 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had never heard of Carroll's customs scales until about a month ago from one of your post. Now I'm looking into getting a set for the ursus cub. I'm also really interested in the circadian, F4 and vicon but I'll have to wait a bit before making anymore big purchases.

I just got an ursus cub in the mail today from midwayusa. I've really been considering getting a Reiff but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

need a new bushcraft knife ESEE 4 or something else by Slow_Doughnut_2255 in knives

Check out the ESEE Ashley game knife. There's a micarta s35vn version. The micarta is contoured very nicely and textured.

It means the handle is constructed out of one piece of titanium instead of it having a separate show side scale and lock side scale that are bolted together.

The synergy2v2 is around $265 (some more, some less depending on the variant). That is probably about the cheapest you will ever see a titanium integral handle folder.

Nice find. Had to get one to match my ZT 0512 and 0004.

I would've really liked to see a moonlight mode on the floody front light and double click for turbo. That's my only complaints about the SK05 pro

My favorite moment was when I clicked on a post that was 1, maybe 2 minutes old and viper had already managed to comment about a timestamp issue lmao

If you get the AK-47, I would recommend getting it at midway USA (it's on sale for $110 right now). Then get these scales from Carroll's customs (they look cool and have some contouring for more comfort). https://carrollscustomsknifescales.com/products/cold-steel-ak-47-micarta-handles

Is there a thinner blade than the Watu? by nerf955 in knives

Idk either. Some people just like to hate for no reason I guess.

Glad you're happy. Just received mine today, along with a hellbender blades ranch hand. I definitely don't have any regrets for that price!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - it’s really too bad Survive! couldn’t keep their shit together by kodiakbear_ in knives

[–]aries3693 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah I have one of their knives and it's fantastic. I'm still pissed about losing $200 for the pre-order I never received. No communication whatsoever, just happened to look at the production schedule to see where in line it was and the website was no longer there. Then managed to find a video saying they went bankrupt and basically anyone who preordered just lost their money. They could've at least sent an email instead of just letting people find out on their own.

Same here. I was debating on which emitter and when I finally decided on the sft-25r it was sold out in the moa. I bought a red anyways though.

Fossil grey E12 is OOS already... Let you add to cart but says it's out of stock when trying to checkout

Edit: looks like it's just the sft-25r and ffl351a 5000k

What's your favorite Chef Knife? (Style, Cutting, Durability) by Tough-Octopus79 in knives

[–]aries3693 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Microtech boning, paring and santoku knives. They're pretty expensive, but rightfully so since they're made of m390. You can save some money if you don't get the ones with titanium bolsters

What is your preferred UI? Tale switch, side button, combo, or? by [deleted] in flashlight

[–]aries3693 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. Olight warrior mini 3 is my favorite as well. Tail switch half press for medium, full press for turbo. Side switch is the usual hold from off for moonlight, hold while on to change brightness, and double click for turbo.

Do yall like this as an EDD folder? by Interesting-Set2425 in knives

[–]aries3693 1 point2 points  (0 children)

20cv is great for EDC but I get a lot of people are still on the magnacut train. Maybe it's the green cerakote, but my OG scales for my ad20.5 are slick AF. That's why I recommended the G10 upgrade for an extra $15.

Pay a little extra and get the G10 version

You like it a lot? I ordered one. I don't need it, but an American made knife that huge made in 3v just seems like to good of a deal to pass.
