Yes, I know there is a sub for knives but I see cool shit posted here in GD by people who aren't in the sub then forget what the title of the thread was and then get bored trying to search through every random knife related thread in GD.
This is what I usually carry for long bike rides:   A waved Spyderco Delica and a Kwaiken by Dynamik Blades aka Smithy  ___________________________________________________ OTTOMH Easily available: ZT Semi-available (regular drops but will sell out): CRK Hinderer Koenig Then you get to midtech stuff that's much harder to snag, and there are too many to really list but guys like Les George Jonathan McNees Brad Southard Demko Of course there's the full production stuff: Spyderco Hogue Kershaw Microtech Protech Medford Olamic Emerson Spartan |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By maleante: Exactly. There’s so many other methods of getting the point across. I know someone involved in a mediation where one party is looking at over 1 billion dollars out of pocket if they lose. Attorneys on both sides are polite and professional even though the stakes are incredibly high. The rhk attorney came in heavy and raped the guy's cat, spit on his mother, and shit in mr transparent’s bed - all before ever introducing himself. A 5 year can get things done better than that attorney. Yep. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By maleante: On second thought, this could have been easily taken care of without a single lawyer involved. Rhk’s operations manager or whatever could have contacted the YouTube guy and said, “hey, we saw your video and disagree with its conclusions. We’d like to invite you up to our factory and show you our process. You can even bring your testing equipment or use our instrument to measure hardness. We’ll cover your travel and provide a modest per diem. Would you be interested?” 4 or 5 hours later and everyone is likely happy with the outcome. No ridiculous legal threats. No looking like a big asshole in the public sphere. And no lawyers involved. Nailed it. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By maleante: At least the guy didn’t cut the carpet with your knife. I cut carpet with my pocket knife once. I also cut shingles with it, also once. I’ll never do that again. @surf ‘s utility blades are super useful in that situation notwithstanding the knives being poverty blades with no bling. There are some very expensive versions already |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SecretSquirell: Might just need some cleaning. All of my autos and assisted ones would get sluggish/not open when they got dirty. That's what I'm thinking. The action on my Kershaw Launch went to shit, but a good cleaning took care of that and got it right back to wrist-snapping. If you can still feel some pressure, it may just be getting bound up by gunk. |

So I followed your guys advice and took it apart to clean it. I then realized I have no idea on what to use to clean it. Should I use oil or just wipe it? I've never taken one of my knives apart before lol

Just wipe all the gunk out then lube up the washers and detent track. Less is more when it comes to knives. Too much will just attract more pocket lint. |

Every speed safe failure I've seen, the spring broke in half. I haven't see a weak one. Kershaw will send out new springs if you call them. They don't make them forever though. I have a friend who has a Kershaw rake that he can't get a new spring for. Jeremy from simple little life on YouTube had a Kershaw break a spring and they wouldn't send him one because of some Canadian law. Someone stateside sent him one just fine though. |

My buddy is the country-wide distributor for Stanley tools in Venezuela. This might seem like any regular utility knife but it means something to me. It’s also the best utility knife I’ve owned. Feels great in the hand, double side by side blades, and easy blade storage in the back.  B side
