So do you turn the outside first and then drill out the center? Or is there some way to clamp a hollow tube in the lathe? I've never used one. |

I turned the outside then drilled out the center. I do have a chuck that would hold it on the inside if I needed to though. Personal preference on how it's done.
I never tried before so did it that way. |

Fry, then dump in 1/4+ cup of water and cover to steam for a few minutes, then uncover and cook the water off, then flip for a minute. |

As I mentioned in the post with the Neutron 2, we’re going to Delaware this June, which is why I picked that little guy up.
Well, I asked my wife if she wanted a knife that would be legal out there, and initially she said yes. About ten minutes later, she told me no, she didn’t need one as she has enough knives, and a week without one wouldn’t kill her. I asked her again, and she said, “I really don’t need one, thanks though.” So, just to be sure, I asked her again. Same thing: “ I really don’t need one, thanks though.” Ok then, it’s settled:  Attached File Attached File It’s actually not a terrible little knife. If it turns out she likes flippers like I suspect she will, I’ll get her a Protech Malibu. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By schaffer: What sets this knife apart from say a 2-500 dollar folder? Honest question, not trying to come off as an asshole. For me it's quality of materials, action and the details that go into their manufacture. Everything lines up, everything has been thought of, and they impress you months later |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By rbb2: This may sound simple but it's absolutely the truth and is apparent if you handle one in person: precision. I've had fifteen different ones, I think (three at present) and all but one have been pretty much perfect in build and machining. The details, the amount of machine time involved, the design, everything about them is a step above. You may wonder how that can be the case but until you hold one it's hard to wrap your head around it. They are definitely in the realm of diminishing returns, but if Spyderco is a Chevy, Chris Reeve is a Mercedes, and Shirogorov is a Ferrari. Then you get full customs which would be maybe Rolls-Royce or something. This too |

Copper CF.
 The thumb hole is fucking useless. The scale needs to be relieved back to even think about getting your thumb in there. Spydie flick works great though. Very smooth action, not sure if it's bearings or washers. The maker doesn't say.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By rbb2: Posting this quick because I'll forget otherwise. Kid just woke me up from a stupidly long and drug out dream about losing a driver bit while disassembling a knife. Wife had a nightmare the other night and woke me up with repeated knees to my glutes and thighs. Like Muay Thai knees to the glutes and back of thighs. About a week before I had a nightmare where someone was attacking my kids and I front push kicked/stomped them so hard in my dream that I launched myself out of my bed. If I was facing my wife when I did that, I probably would have launched her out of the bed and promptly woken up being assaulted by a chancleta. We rarely have nightmares, so it's odd that we both had one resulting in sleep movements like that in such a short period of time. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By mygreenkaw: Do you like the Boker?  Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By mygreenkaw: Do you like the Boker? I do for the most part. The sharp part of the scales makes it annoying to carry in my everyday pants pocket. Things changed recently at work so I get to be more casual in dress so I can actually swap knives out a little more and get more time with it. I honestly think with the right scales and a slightly different pocket clip, I'd be quite happy with it. How do you like yours? Those are Suingab scales, right? |
