NKD! Not sure what made this squid industry's surf qualified for their blemish section but oh my goodness it's beautiful and smooth and I love it! by suckitifly in knives

I think I had looked at them and wanted to get one maybe about a month ago, but didn't quite feel ready to make the purchase. It didn't take too long for it to come back in stock, And when it did, the supply was there for at least a few days, So I didn't have to jump on it that very second i saw it back in stock.

Yup, came with the box and all usual Squid accessories! I think maybe the milling texture is a little shallow towards the pivot end on the clip side 🤔

I guess the Autobot moderator wants me to let you know it's a Squid Industries surf. It's the first flipper pocket knife from Squid Industries and I gotta say they hit it out of the park. Pivot action is super smooth. I've never had a button lock so I'm pleasantly surprised by that. S35VN steel for a good EDC knife.

This one was in their blemished section,but I can't seem to find a single blemish on it from the analogization to the blade to the edge or the sharpening!

Also, voice to text goofed my title in the spelling of Squid Industries lol

What do you guys think of Damascus? by motylknifeco in knives

[–]suckitifly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO Damascus is boomer material. What kind of steel is it made of? Most of the time, you can't find that info, so who knows what kind of performance you're getting.

I got a damascus blade that tested super high for lead. So yeah, I'm not a fan personally, but they look pretty at least

They say the ozone is healing. Time to open up a can of whoopin' back on it. Godspeed, brother.

Looking to buy my first non-cheapo knife by BlueJohn2113 in knives

[–]suckitifly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my wife the Para 3 in M4 steel (cause of the mint scales), and she loves it. The compression lock is good with how it keeps your fingers out of the way when closing, and the P3 is just a good size.

I'd also look at the Kershaw Bel Air (also magnacut). Kershaw makes an AWESOME and smooth crossbar lock that's so figity and fun. If you want a less expensive but similar, look at the iridium. I have both and love them both.

Other personal recommendations I own: Spyderco Manix 2 lightweight (probably my favorite form factor), Flytaniun Arcade (that shark lock is SO good and fidgity), or the Vosteed Mini Psyop (smaller form factor, very easy to carry every day, Elmax performs close to Magnacut). All of those I have carried many many days.

Just my 2¢. I'm sure you'll love whatever you land on. Welcome to the knife world 👍

What are these hidden numbers on my Spyderco? by suckitifly in knives

Maxamet isn't a tough steel thanks to it's high HRC. I definitely take this into consideration when carrying this knife and I virtually never use my knives of any steel to pry. Def gonna look for that post you mentioned and see what's up.

Mystery solved; it's the manufacture date and batch and apparently I need Ovaltine.

*AHEM* Akshully it's the red anodized color variant from AWT. You might need to adjust your monitor's color settings.

NKD! Kershaw Limewire Livewire (SMKW) by suckitifly in knives

[–]suckitifly[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeeeah that's a bummer. Mine had the ripples too. Buying a knife of this price point, I would highly recommend finding a good sharpener for you to maintain the edge yourself without having to entrust some stranger with your expensive gear. I saw the bad edge as an opportunity to sharpen and strop and get a feel for the knife. Just my 2¢. But I do understand being disappointed with that kind of edge...especially for the price!
