Your New Knife!

[In God We Trust]

Got it. Thanks. My knowledge of Bokers is VERY dated. I remember looking at them in the late '90s, when their pricing was high-end. Something about ceramic blades, IIRC, though I never did buy one.

Boker has like 3 levels of quality. You would have to read up on it because I’m not sure how they do it. They have some low end stuff and some higher end stuff. I have a few different daggers they make, but was never a huge fan boy.

For collectors of the oddities and unusual knives.

I actually like it. If it was under $50, I'd be tempted. Hell, if it had a blade shape I was into, I might even jump at $70.

Is your concern with the blade shape the potential for kindergarten flashbacks?

Something reminded me to go check Victorinox for this years limited editions. Couldn't resist the electric yellow and Ranger Damast - their best Damascus maybe ever!!

Just putting this together. Didnt realize he was the resident SAK aficionado. If its any consolation the appreciation lives on. Big Fan.

Also recently found this Trail Guide, nice tool set that was only avail via the Marlboro catalog.

He was always excited about the SAK special editions. And you're right: he does live on!

Is there any reason I shouldn't buy a Microtech Ultratech??

It took 4-5 months to get this knife from TKell, but it's a great knife. I love the small kydex sheath. Very easy to carry and conceal.

Cost. If you want it for an EDC you can beat on get a Chinese clone.

I try not to beat on my EDC knife too much. Current EDC is a ZT0770CF. I can get a decent discount on the Microtech also.

I am a SAK enjoyer as well. This is usually what I have in my pocket when carrying a fixed blade.

I love love love my Microtech. Prob my most carried knife save for out in the yard type work. The fast, easy open close is great.

Downside is you don’t want to use in on anything dirty. I’d watch even too much tape residue if opening boxes. Want to keep the mechanism clean. Also standing around a table of soccer moms you don’t necessarily want to volunteer to open a package.

Thank you. Just ordered the black partially serrated. Will post some pics when I get it.

Not mine, but I bought this for my oldest son’s first knife birthday present. I got a good deal on the paracord model but I will get him some scales separately. I felt like the deal was so good I bought one now for each of my kids even though the others are years away from getting them. I’m glad I did. This knife feels better in my hand than any I have ever held. I wish I got one for myself. I’m going to if I see a good deal again.

Love that stonewash finish!

Because the Delta Dirac is better

Maybe, but I don't get $100 off of that one.

Ahh, the Service Personnel Program?

Wish they had a bigger collection of OTF knives, or at least SOCOM Elite auto's

Yes.

Got it today. Seems to have better lockup than the Axial. Will compare them later when I start drinking.

Range hosted CanCon this weekend. Couple knife vendors there. Picked up this one - because.

that is pretty a pretty sexy knife

I got a Spyderco Manix 2 Lightweight with translucent blue FRCP handle, CTS BD1N steel.

Great form factor for my hands. I do think I like the slight softer feel of their FRN handle material a little better than the FRCP that is used on this knife. But a solid construct with no play in the blade, and for an 8 inch (3.37 blade) knife it is amazingly light at 2.8 oz on my postal scale.

Manix® 2 Lightweight FRCP Blue - Spyderco, Inc.

Winner of Blade magazine’s coveted Most Innovative American Design award (2010). Weighing in at a scant three ounces, the Manix 2 Black Lightweight features a full-flat-ground CTS® BD1N stainless steel blade with Spyderco’s signature Trade...

BTW while I was online checking on the shipping for this knife I came across a flash sale $83 for a Spyderco Edura 4 Lightweight, it will arrive today

So, they arrived!

I'd only ever handled one Becker before; this thing is BROAD. Feels good in the hand, but it seems bigger than it is, if that makes sense. Sheath seems kinda chintzy, but functional.



As for the hatchet, I brought it outside this morning and felled a couple of trees with it. It'll work.


Here’s what two trees (about 3 and 5 inches respectively) did to the factory edge.

Been carrying one almost daily for 22 years. Still haven't found another that I like more.
