Hey TW! Let's see your knives!

For me it really comes down to money and addicting knife purchases. A $2.99 Ozark Trail knife from Walmart can do everything I need in an EDC knife. I don't hunt, camp, or cut cardboard all day with my knife. I cut off tags and open boxes of toys for my 3 year old girl 99% of the time. Would the $2.99 knife work for that? Sure as heck it would. But what would be the fun in that?

Also, I eat way more apples and pears now just so I have a reason to use my knife. Once again, would a kitchen knife work? You get the idea.

It's a slippery road man. There's always going to be another knife you'll want to buy.

 

My F1 showed up yesterday. Haven't had a lot of time to check it out. But damn, it's nice!

 

Shoot me a PM buddy!

 

Axxis Assist is pretty sweet. It's almost automatic but not enough that you cannot own it (In some states, like CA, automatic opening knives are illegal for all but law enforcement and active military users). I have a couple of ZT/Benchmades with assisted opening-they're pretty sweet. But like someone said, it's addicting and you'll figure out how to open the non-assist knives pretty quickly too.

 

So which one is better ? Its 8Cr13MoV but I will be getting more knives soon.

 

Lansky.


Sorry for the crappy image...iPhone & flashlight.

 

Don't ever touch that baby with a sharpening stone.

Strop it well and it'll split pubes.

Use it - strop it - use it - strop it.


I swear.

 

Thanks for the feedback!

and nice knife Ian

 

I've literally used a Flexx field strop with green and black compound since day one and it is a razor

I'll use to make kindling, split smaller branches, make a fuzz stick - few minutes with a strop and it's brand new again.

 

Thanks! I blame James for posting his

 

When did he post his?

 

Post 3180

 

Ah they are both very nice

 

This. Keep it sharp, and you will never really have to sharpen it.

 

However, my buddy did just buy a wicked edge sharpener, and I can't wait to try it

 

Is there a particular reason why?

 

Of the two you mentioned. Lansky is the better. But truthfully, each system has it's pros and cons. Do a bit of research and pick one that you feel will work best for you.

 

Ok will do, thanks.

 

Split pubes?! Ha
Ha

I but some 4 micron emulsion on this for my office touch ups. Slow, deliberate swipes on just the tiny belt loop part fixes most things.
