BlackRockBigfoot Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 1 hour ago, Kiwakwe said: I've a CRKT that I posted on the 1st page I think. It has a liner lock with a knob (in the "serrated" detent for thumb) that rotates to keep the liner from slipping out of position. It seems like a good design--at least a step above standard liner. I was impressed but I'm not that knowledgeable about locking systems. I just use fixed when I want uber reliability. I'll have to give the CS folders a look before they may be corrupted/compromised. That's called the Auto-Lawks or something like that... I had one for awhile. Much better than a normal liner lock. Fixed blades on my waist get in the way of pack belts...so sometimes I will go with a large Triad lock folder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWind Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I have had my Benchmade for over 25 years now. The Axis lock locks up solid every time. And I use it hard daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWind Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 And my latest addition to the collection is this Fox Knives 479 folding Karambit, strictly because it's cool. The Emerson Wave feature opens the blade as it is drawn from the pocket making it faster to deploy than a switchblade. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthWind Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 It wouldn't be the first time. But mainly I just wanted one for the collection, not the field. I do enjoy kali though, and the flow of it. It's good for flexibility, timing, and getting the blood flowing a little, and it's not as silly looking as yoga.

Madison5716 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Found this guy on a bushcraft channel I browse. So pretty! And the sweaters and birch bark containers are gorgeous, too.

Madison5716 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) Found this the other night while walking my dog before bed. Some homeless dude is undoubtedly missing this (lots of homeless use the walking path near my home). Mine now. Need to buy a sheath, then it'll go with the camping gear in my truck. Blade is about 10 inches, and sharp. Nice. Edited December 28, 2020 by Madison5716 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC witness Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Hey, Madison, I'm glad you found it on the ground, and not in some nut jobs hand, being brandished at you! There are some real out of control cases out there, we have them here in my relatively small city of Abbotsford. It's a nice addition to the camping gear. I have a brush hook in my truck, about half again as large as that, and it can handle some fair size branches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madison5716 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) Well, yeah, but that's where I live. So. Better that I have it than whomever owned it previously! FWIW I always carry mace and I walk a big black dog. No one's bothered me. And old doggo is NOT doing well. Might not have to walk late at night for too long now. He's had trouble keeping his back legs under him lately and he's had five accidents over the last four days :( He's deaf and going blind and nearly 13. I just hope he makes it til I get my tax return so I can have him cremated and he can go on the shelf with the other two pets :( Edited December 28, 2020 by Madison5716 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madison5716 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Yeah, this part sucks. I put my old cat down last year on January 17; now it looks like old dog's time :( I'm sorry for your loss, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwakwe Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 Sorry to hear about the ol' boy Madison, never easy. That knife you've found looks to have been customized with red nail polish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
