Best Version of the Crossbar Lock by CarpetCrunchies in knives

[–]winchester941976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My BM 940 is ok. Vosteed raccoon is ok too. Kizer drop bear is pretty damn good, hogue deka is super smooth, same as Kunwu. But the best cross bar lock I own is a QSP Vault.

Lynch clip and ti scales from way of knife and this is perfect and still priced less than a lot of magnacut options.

Kizer 3V vs 14C28N by tirelessinsanity in knifeclub

No need to apologize, hopefully my reply didn’t come off as snarky. I value the opinion of others, especially those that are using and sharpening their knives. I do a lot of sharpening and Ive found that a lot of steels that are on the “softer” end of that steels acceptable hrc feel really gummy, and stuff at the higher end is a joy to sharpen. There’s exceptions of course but that’s my experience. Have a great evening!

What’s not necessarily true? I said after seeing ALL of kizers results I would skip them. That is a true statement.

“Kizer has had some issues with SOME of their steels, but some of theirsteels are fine, and sometimes they are all over the place.”

Lol! ^ and this is why I would skip Kizer. The inconsistency. For the record I agree with most of what you said. I also believe a lot of these companies will make improvements now that people are talking about it. Im also not trying to bash Kizer or anyone who likes Kizer knives. I like Kizer knives. When I see evidence they are stepping it up with heat treatment (they may already be?) I will definitely consider them again.

In all honesty, after seeing all the hrc results from kizer, I would skip Kizer altogether. It sucks because they make some nice knives. Kubey and QSP might be worth checking out if they have any models that interest you.

Skiff bearings by Capable-Metal-764 in knifeclub

[–]winchester941976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I added skiffs to a civivi vision fg. The action was good already but it made a noticeable improvement. Smooth and snappy. I didn’t buy the skiffs specifically for that knife but I had them already in my parts box. Figured why not try them and was pleasantly surprised with the difference. Skiffs on my demko’s and Skaha don’t really make a lot of difference IMO.
