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

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DFARM: Thanks. This one is fine. It's lucky number 13(14 if you count the prototype in 1084, but it never got handles) of this knife, so I've got the handles figured out pretty well. The bigger Santoku looking one has the wrong angle on the handle. It's the same profile as that orange handled chopper I made a while back. The more I handle it, the less I like it. It might live out it's days as a garage knife. Here's an old pic of it.(the bottom one) Remember the hump in the spine? Lol https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/78442/KIMG1302_JPG-1599221.JPG Oh yes, but looking more subdued. Weren't you contemplating doing some work to the blade for food release? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By rbb2: As thin as it is, I like the CF to accentuate the lighter nature of the knife. I should do one up to match my Spartan shemagh and practice my aiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiai battle cry. I know I'd said that I liked the kwaiken - I like the hattin more (at first blush) for the same reasons. It's like the kwaiken's big brother. Not sure why you think they'd be good pig stickers, but you do you I guess. The lanyard itself is fine, it's just the way they apparently intend it to be attached that is silly. Wild boars ambush you. You should know that living in Iowa. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By it20: I am a micarta virgin. I may need to try an inexpensive something with micarta scales!Micarta is great because you get so much variation from one material and it is really tough. Want a rough worn look? sand it. use it. It picks up oils and other stuff and darkens, takes on character. Want to start over? wash it. want a polished look? Wax and polish. very versatile and so many patterns and looks. With that being said, one might not be enough. You might need to try a number of different ones. I started with micarta on my BRKs and never appreciated it because it was all smooth and polished. In retrospect I should have roughed them up with sand paper to open them up. Probably would have liked them even more. More warmth and character. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WICOUNSEL: The Hattin is supposed to be reminiscent of a scimitar. A fighting blade. You have the pommel of a sword there. Needs to be big enough to give you a positive secure grip. Different purpose than the Hati. And Shiro is really good about blade ratio. The F series is excellent in that regard. Oh, which reminds me, you mentioned something about the guy selling it saying it was an F95, but clearly it was a Hati, so why would he say that, or something like that. Meant to respond. As far as I know, the Hati is an F series knife. It is built the same as an F95 but has a non ti show scale. Only difference I believe. Correct |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Justabulletaway: Speaking of hard use knives... If any knife needs a lanyard (or better description being a "pull") then it's this one. That wire clip it comes with is not like a Spyderco wire clip. It really clamps down hard. I always try to capture the detail of the milling. The machining and fit and finish on this one is superb. https://i.imgur.com/BWnGmgc.jpg I keep meaning to try one of their fixed blades. I think olive wood scales would be cool, especially considering my exclusive use of olive oil the last few years. I like that scale texture. I'm a fan of companies that go that extra mile. Lionsteel really flies under the radar with the extra stuff they do |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By smokie: I haven't put my xm-24's through any use yet, but I will say that the contoured handles on the zt is a much more comfortable grip, vs the flat sides on the 24's handle. Yes..I see... I was comparing to the XM-18 in my mind, but just found an article saying the 0560 is just a hair shorter than a 24. But ZT claims it is based on an 18. Regardless, I had looked more at 24s than 18s just for the OAL, so that would certainly go to why I like the 0560. Article also talked about the use of blade stops that look like thumb studs and the difficulty of balancing the detent to do both. |
