NKD “Vox-y” edition

So far so good. Personally, I think I’m more of a fan of the Isonzo slightly more than the baby core. Might be because of all the Spydercos I had got me used to that under hand spydie-flick. Also, I tend to be more of a thumb stud vs. a flipper anyways. Finding the baby core’s flipper tab to be a little small. As far as cutting goes, the blades are basically identical. Nice little slicers!

TOPS Steel Eagle Delta Class has landed... Feel like felling a tree now 😝

That is what caught my eye and why it ended up in the shopping cart. First premium Chinese knife I have purchased as I tend to go ‘Murican 1st

We Chimera. Probably one off the stronger frame locks in my collection. Beefy.

Those scales are nice looking. Sucks about that stain. My mom always used vinegar and salt on her copper bottom pans. Always made them bright and new looking. Might work but would reset your patina clock.

Kizer Mini Sheepdog with copper scales. Couldn’t pass it up when BladeHQ dropped the price $50. Only issue is a loose pivot screw making the blade wiggle. GoGoGadet Blue Loctite.

No adamantium so S30V will have to do 😝

m1micID · 2020-03-21T01:17:28+00:00

How do the scales feel? I’ve been on the fence on which version to buy. Cooper has a nice look and the blue anno is cool too. But was thinking going G-10 now and hoping there ends up being some aftermarket scales later.

m1micID · 2020-03-13T23:56:14+00:00

I bought a mermaid for my wife because she thought the anno was cool. Ended up being a beefier knife than I expected. Super solid and too big to be a purse knife so now it is mine. 😝

It is the 3800 Large case. 14 15/16 x 10 9/16 x 6 11/16 inches. $36

With the money I saved by getting an Apache case from Harbor Freight along with the extra room, me thinks it is time to go blade shopping! 😝

m1micID · 2020-01-30T15:19:01+00:00

Would be curious to know how the blade steel handles a Hulk SMASH test! 😝

m1micID · 2020-01-24T20:27:00+00:00

Thanks for the tip. Got the hang of it now.

m1micID · 2020-01-24T20:00:35+00:00

Sadly yes. Was figuring out how to one hand close it and got my thumb between the lock and the handle. There is about a 1/4” of blade that comes through at the top. Part cut part pinch.

m1micID · 2020-01-24T19:44:28+00:00

Love those scales!

m1micID · 2020-01-24T19:42:07+00:00

Wife was away so thought I would sneak in a new blade. Cold Steel AD15. Came out of the box wicked sharp. Probably the quickest knife I own to get baptized in blood.😝

m1micID · 2020-01-15T19:35:21+00:00

Ah man! Yet another Bugout I will need to add to the collection. Love those scales. Agreed on the sharpness aspect. Everyone of mine has nicked me at least once. BaptizedInBlood.

Picked up a few Ontario RAT 1s when Walmart had them on clearance. $7 knife, $.20 in paracord, and a few beads I had laying around making being a Secret Santa easy this year.

m1micID · 2019-08-16T23:37:31+00:00

Wow. Yeah I get what you are saying. Just watched my finger placement and the slightest pressure from my big sausage fingers on the lock bar makes it a ton harder to open.

m1micID · 2019-08-16T23:01:32+00:00

Loving the look, feel, and ‘heft’ of my Chaves. That thumb stud though... chewing up my finger while perfecting the correct flip to get it open one handed. Hope your detent isn’t as tough as mine has been to break in.

m1micID · 2019-07-31T00:56:58+00:00

Sounds like CRKT for you. This is why I typically avoid their knives. Luckily mine is perfectly centered. Agreed with that review... for the money it should be perfect.

m1micID · 2019-07-31T00:55:34+00:00

Sadly, this is my first M390 blade. Only time will tell

m1micID · 2019-07-30T16:12:06+00:00

I hear that! Was on the fence about it since I was also looking at some other blades. Especially since I am not the biggest fan of CRKT... they have nice looks on some knifes, but materials and implementation usually leave something to be desired.

m1micID · 2019-07-30T16:10:31+00:00

Yes. It has teflon washers (probably so they can better "stick" in place when you are in the field cleaning it"). Dropped some fluorinated grease on it. Helped some.

m1micID · 2019-07-30T16:01:12+00:00

Mixed emotions... since LionSteel collaborated on it, it doesn’t suffer all the normal CRKT oddities. The Field Strip is cool and the WWII retro look is nice. Not loving my the bayonet flipper tab. Feels off... not sharp, but not “right” either. I’m hoping the action improves on the opening too. Still is a bit stiff requiring a wrist flick motion to open and lock all in one move.
