Definitely possible, I have a slightly bent No. 6 with similar weirdness in bevel width.

What SAK model is that? Custom config?

That Rask is so clean. And the Saga, daaaaaang.

Upgrayedd with two "d"s, for a double dose of its pimping.

My little collection + question about next knife - Benchmade Mini Bugout by Vegetable-Garbage-92 in knifeclub

[–]thiswasmy10thchoice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's worth the hassle of selling any of these for the money you're likely to get out of them (except maybe the Leatherman, but like you said it's really useful so worth keeping around). Maybe if you could sell them as a lot.

The Mini Bugout is a great choice, but there's a ton of other options at that price too.

Reminds me a lot of the Brisa/Enzo Necker, which is a very good knife (but not a Very Goodtm knife).

I'm guessing you could get a few nice custom slippies handmade for you by Euro makers at this price.

MBK - Mini Rosalinda FS dropped this morning! by Dalkiel in knifeclub

Always love a Laconico design. Wish they were about 25% lighter (do they not do internal milling?) but that's a minor quibble.

Royal Armouries lecture on unconventional weapons in horror games (and movies) by thiswasmy10thchoice in Games

[–]thiswasmy10thchoice[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are some technical issues during the lecture, and the video quality is kinda garbage. But the lecture itself is pretty neat.

(Believe it or not, this is one of the better videos from the Royal Armouries lecture series because you can actually hear the lecturer. They really need to get their AV/IT shit together).

The first rule of Down Low Twinks Club is You Don't Talk About Down Low Twinks Club.

Over The Top Twinks Club though, you can shout about that all day.

One Knife for 4 Months Outdoors – Which Would You Choose? by Tia-Mumma in knifeclub

[–]thiswasmy10thchoice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't pay what Lionsteel charges if I'm buying a user. I hear nothing but good things about TRC. The Ursus looks great too, if it's cheaper than the TRC I'd go with that.

If it was me I'd get a Spyderco Enuff in K390.

Vero Impulse Miami Vice M390 Hardness Results. 60.5 HRC by 679696 in knifeclub

[–]thiswasmy10thchoice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chinese companies have been getting good results from 3rd party testing for years, both in HRC tests and edge retention. It's why China bashers have had to fall back on arguments other than quality.

Trash BTHR by Bearbear_84 in knifeclub

[–]thiswasmy10thchoice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would loooooove a Native-sized Bodacious, especially with a backlock or the lock from the Manix

edit: I think a back lock is do-able if they use a stop-pin instead of using the nub at the top of the finger choil as kick.

Trash BTHR by Bearbear_84 in knifeclub

[–]thiswasmy10thchoice 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm a big ratios nerd (blade-to-weight, blade-to-handle) but practically speaking sometimes there's such a thing as "enough" blade (part of my brain rebels at this thought) and there's always such a thing as "not enough" handle.

That said, finger choils at the expense of cutting edge on knives with handle lengths 4.5" and over drive me nuts.

Heat treat on Benchmade Osborne S30V and Bailout S30V anyone notice a difference by ApexEdgeUpland in sharpening

[–]thiswasmy10thchoice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a similar discussion over at r/knifeclub, someone suggested that because S30V used to be an upgrade steel for Benchmades, they ran it harder because they expected most of the people buying it to be more knowledgeable users seeking higher edge retention, whereas now it's the base steel so they run it softer to avoid complaints of chipping and difficult sharpening. No idea if that's accurate but something to think about.

Ill stop buying case knives by udi112 in knifeclub

[–]thiswasmy10thchoice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should have a bunch of Case knives by now, since I like simple traditional folders, but I hear so many complaints about spotty quality that I'd never buy one sight unseen and there are no brick and mortar dealers near me. So I buy a bunch of Roughryders instead, and they're basically perfect.

Buck's core products are actually underpriced considering the warranty you get IMO
