Hey TW! Let's see your knives!

The whole thing makes no sense aside from the stigma of an auto or even a balisong. A good flipper, especially one with ball bearing opens way quicker than an auto. Even faster if the safety is on. But I have seen some youtube videos of quick draw butterfly action. And the wave opening on the emersons and cold steel knives is pretty quick too.

 

should be getting my kershaw blur tomorrow!!

 

My Spyderco is "waved" with a zip tie through the Spydie hole. Its open as soon as its out of my pocket, and I don't have to manipulate the blade at all with my hand. Just grab the handle and pull it out, instant blade deploy.

 

I will never understand the wave mod. I get what it's supposed to do but I want to put my hand in my pocket w/o ripping my hand apart

 

I'd never buy a waved blade, but this way I can see what the hub bub us about. Fixed blade EDC FTMFW.

 

I read an article on combat using your EDC folder a while back. One of the things they were big on was the element of surprise and being able to extract and open the knife with the least amount of noise. My Benchmade auto assist isn't quiet at all-so learning how to open it quietly has been a challenge. All of my folders, except the PM2, are easy enough to open one handed and quietly so I see why you'd want to use a tie wrap for the extra leverage-I've never wanted to try it only because I've cut my hands often enough on ties.

 

Truth!!!!!

They're always cuts that get sore as hell also. Once I got my F1, lost the desire.for folding EDCs.

 

Sometimes I open my benchmade auto Stryker with the back of the blade against my leg or hip depending on who I'm around. Don't wanna freak anybody out. But my big ZT 0303 or 0200 freak people out anyway even tho they are just flippers

 

Especially since we get arrested if we get caught with a "switchblade".

 

What i could find in 5 minutes. Got a few more here and there.
Benchmade 840-1401

$240 Benchmade 940 EDC Knife with Green 6061-T6 Aluminum Handle (940)

Benchmade 940
Kabar USMC
Kershaw/Emerson CQC-8
Kershaw Scallion
Lightning OTF Auto

 

I do that with my griptilians too. It's even easier with the benchmade 300 since it has ball bearings.

 

I want to get a benchmade with axis lock. I can open my CRKT m-16 just as fast as my sog flash 2 or my friends blur but closing it one handed is a bitch. I like my SOG cause it is easy to close one handed but I prefer a knife with no spring assist. seems like the benchmade is super smooth opening and easy as to close one handed

 

You got the wrong blade!

Same here. I prefer my pockets to be a safe place to reach my hands. Call me weird like that.

 

Is the one with the serations better?

 

Any update from aficianado?

 

Personal preference. I prefer the tanto blade w/serrations but that's me. I like that it gives me more options in a single blade like cutting a seat belt/rope more quickly and easier. Some prefer a curve for the ability to sharpen the entire edge easier. I just like how the angles and serrations gives me more options and I do use the various angles and options fairly frequently. I just posted the same knife with the tanto & serrated blade a few pages back:

Again, it's all personal preference and I really wouldn't say either blade is 'better' or 'worse' than the other. I was just giving you a hard time since yours has a different blade than mine.

 

What a dick.

 

Haha ya i would have got the serrated one but didn't see it from where I was ordering it from in the fde
