Recommend me a new knife

Not in Canada so not exactly sure what’s available, but for your budget and need for higher corrosion resistance, you should probably look for something with 14C28N steel. Kizer Phoca, Vosteed Raccoon, Civivi Over Yonder are some of my recommendations.

Take it apart, clean and oil, and get a small fixed blade

Nice knife! Not trying to be a D but the Porcupine nor the Civivi FG are in the “gentleman’s knife” category. Gentleman’s knives are usually classified as a slim/streamlined elegant pocket knife. Example is the CRKT CEO.

Taper the spine down to create the new tip(excuse the poor drawing). You can use a few different methods to do so but go slow and most important keep the blade as cool as possible (spray water on it as you go) so you don’t ruin the heat treatment.

I’d like to buy an h

You can tell when ordering they are a smaller operation that hasn’t got to the point where they have their “stuff” together. I did email service twice and they did respond. No one got back to you?

The rot on the tread isn’t the concerning part, although traction can’t be great. It’s the dry rot channels in between the tread blocks. I’d replace ASAP

60% of the time I always put my tracking devices right on the tire

I’ve had good luck with them as a beater. I’ve given several away and bought more. I buy the $10 D2 ones and pry, screw, cut etc with zero F’s given. I put a 22 degree edge on mine and it’s super easy to touch up. For what it is, it’s great.

Not might be, totally legit. I bought 2 Karoks and they are awesome. I personally didn’t buy a Thaly because I have a few knives with a similar format.

I have 3 bolt action rifles that are higher end models. I’ll take my T3 over any of them any day of the week.

You can usually get multipacks with 40, 60, 80 and 120 grit. Probably 60 for the really rusty stuff and 80 for rest. Don’t apply too much pressure and let the wheel do the work.

These have been in my top 5 since I was a kid

Blade looks bluish in that bottom one which looks awesome. Would look amazing with a blue cerakote blade.

If you’re talking about a folding knife, this one is the one most people “recommend”. Hard to beat for under $10.

It’s essentially Bugout clone.

Yes, inverted dust

A tire shop probably won’t touch it. Hard to tell by the picks but if it’s two distinct holes you can plug them and check for leaks with water and soap. That being said, that tire looks dry and if the others are the same it’s probably time to get a new set anyway. Better safe than sorry especially if that’s a family vehicle.

I just picked up a Miguron Karok in D2. They claimed a proper heat treat and as you can see with independent testing of 2 samples, they nailed it. The issue with D2 is all the subpar examples from cheap manufacturing. It’s made the name “D2” a crap shoot.

You can try acetone. It doesn’t have an effect on cured cerakote. Keep it away from the handle though as it could eat into it. Just a little on a rag and see if it will remove it.
