Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

Damn, I never would have thought there was a market for this kind of thing (yes… I am literally from PODUNK massachusetts)... some of them look really nice and for the regular combs the price isn't that bad. Is there any actual difference between this and a regular comb? I think I've had the same "unbreakable" comb since I was like 8... I don't usually comb my hair but I think its real handy thing to have when you're traveling. I like to comb my hair in the morning if I don't have time or don't feel like taking a shower.
- Read up on this a tiny bit and now I feel like my head has been missing out.....

I EDC a Strider SnG. I have for years in one configuration or another. I found for me its a near-perfect EDC.

The SNG is a great knife. I have had many striders over the years but the SnG CC was by far the best to EDC. Just sold one recently and miss it.

What knife are you going to get next?

Got myself a Boker Speedlock recently. Frighteningly quick spring! But fabulous feel and quintessentially German.
Here is a link to their site

Only knife I would ever consider using as a pry bar is a Hinderer, knives are for cutting…just sayin.

^agreed

Yeah - guess you're right… Although I've opened lotsa crates and bent nails and such with my Sebenza... But good to hear it's serving you well, mate!..
You might want to send your knife in for servicing. Even if the blade isn't bent yet, you've probably done damage to the pivot or the stop pin. Eventually, the lock will fail, if that hasn't also suffered damage already
I've never understood why people pry with their knives. Prying with a Sebenza is like opening the door to a BMW and then sitting on top of it. The hinge just isn't made for that stress

And if I were to use a Hinderer for that, it would be because my family is on the other side of a door in a room that's on fire
Using the Applegate for prying was unwise as well. It's only full stock down that narrow strip down the middle. The knife is a dagger. Strong for stabbing, about as weak as a knife can get for prying
If you really want a stout folder, I would also look into the Zero Tolerance line. I have a 0560 and it's as stout as my XM-18 at half the price
