Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

[tmg]

Thanks for the vid Seul, now I want a Ti-lock! Had never paid that much attention to them previously, which is a shame because I think that's a great design, and clever use of innate material properties.

I'm tempted to order direct, but I think there's a dealer here in the UK whose prices aren't far off what I'd pay if I factor on shipping and duty.

Know what the best thing is of that vid?.. If you play it @720p, you can see how fucked up the guy's thumb is from playing with the Ti-Lock

I used to be able to do the same with my Ti-Lock I loved that video. Opening was always easy closing took a lot of practice to close that fast. Out of all the knives I bought and sold that is the only one I miss not having.

The action he is putting on his open looks extremely violent to me.  If it's designed for that, well and good, but that would definitely be a terrible way to open a Sebbie.

[Seul]

Yeah it's probably not designed for that… It is great fun though 

[mclaincausey]

Hopefully the same warranty applies.  You may pay for it, but no matter how you abuse a Sebbie opening it he will fix it.  Somehow people misinterpret that warranty as "zOMGz Chris Reeve tries to tell you how to open your knife, you'll void your warranty if you flick it open!!!"

[Seul]

CHRIS REEVE IS A DOUCHEBAG AND HE ONCE TOUCHED MY TIP IN A TURKISH BATH ASKING ME WHETHER I FLICK OR FOLD

[Seul]

Cuddling

[Seul]

(And I can now flick it open and close with my left hand… Ambidextrous?.. I'm not, but this knife sure is!..)

Has exclusivity to the Ohta 20th Century friction folder I own. It's my favorite knife by my favorite designer by my favorite distributor. Vince is such a great guy and their customer service will be what you are accustomed to.

This came today with another addition to my Krein collection. This thing is great, don't know why I slept on it for so long…

[mclaincausey]

My Ohta was spOhta arrive today. What am I paying you UPS assholes for anyway?

[Grumpy Mike]

That sucks… The knives I received today were 2 days late and I have another order from a different dealer I'm still waiting on. I'm just chalking it up to the uber amount of Black Friday orders... hope it shows up soon... cheers

[mclaincausey]

Thanks. I suspect the blizzard up here may be partially to blame as well.

[Grumpy Mike]

Very nice Ohta available…

This thing is great. Really enjoying the Aogami steel, holds a killer edge. The grind on the thing is beautiful too.

Perfect ergonomic slope on the blade and handle. Despite it's tiny size, great and secure in the hand.

Notched backspacer and scales to secure the tang when the blade is deployed.

As I hope is evident in the pictures, immaculate fit and finish.

I am tickled pink with this blade in every way. Well worth the asking price.
