Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

[Anesthetist]

I'm also a Dragonfly nut, nice collection.

[Blackheart]

Nice set there Doug

[DougNg]

They're surprisingly useful for a small knife, and they all get used in different ways. Love my DF2

[Anesthetist]

I wish I could have gotten that limited edition white Dragonfly…

[DougNg]

The NASA one? Don't like molded clips.

[Blackheart]

Last Spyderco I picked up was the Para 2 which is my EDC. Dragonfly looks very useful though, I'll have to
add it to my never ending list.

@DougNg:

Yup. I have the NASA Ladybug, but no Dragonfly. But if my memory serves me, it had a wire clip.

That's just straight porn

[DougNg]

Give it a shot, they're only $45 on Amazon for the base model

Maybe this has already been asked, but…
What is the best assisted knife (essentially a US legal switchblade)?

[DougNg]

You didn't give any specs…sooo...

Ken Onion Full Custom. Will run you between 2-8k

[Giles]

I'll take 8….

[4c]

Wow, those knifes look nice! Yea, I should have mentioned a price range… I sometimes forget how insanely nice (and expensive) the stuff people buy hear is.

Price: about $100-$600
Size: pocket knife somewhere from Medium to small to micro
Use: general pocket knife purposes (paper, plastic, wood, string, food, etc.)

[Blackheart]

Benchmade, Pro-Tech and Microtech all make autos in your price range 4c, legally speaking none of them are
legal to carry here in LA but the laws maybe more relaxed in your area. Check those makers and see what
they have.

[DougNg]

Assisted openers is mostly old news. Kershaw and Zero Tolerance still make the best ones though.

Flippers with ball bearing pivots is all the rage now. Spyderco and Zero Tolerance make some nice ones

For assisted opener I would check out the ZT566 and for a ball bearing flipper I like the Spyderco Domino

[4c]

Thanks very much DougNg and Blackheart. 

[Blackheart]

You're very welcome 4c, hope you find the perfect knife.

[Anesthetist]

Put one of my favorite Spydies in the pocket today, the Yojimbo 2. Made in the USA, opens like a rocket, and secure as a bank vault.

Anyone know of a good knife that's legal to carry in Japan? I'm guessing pretty much nothing.
