Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

Talk me out of buying the ltd. edition, Doug… Royally use the words "idiot", "€uro garbage", and "legally insane and/ or blind"...

You should buy it before I get the last one?

Thanks, didn't know about this one…

Edit: the core is carbon steel. I remember you had issues with rust on carbon steels in the past. Might genuinely want to pass on this one. VG10 really is one of the most easy to care for blade steels after Victorinox steel, so if I were you I'd go with the orange one over this one.

This is my favorite Dragonfly

I don't think you can find them anymore, and I treat mine like it's made out of Unobtanium. 1 because you can't find them anymore, and 2 because it's a pain in the ass to sharpen.

@DougNg:

I didn't see that… Carbon steel and wooden handles... My knives get wet a lot so not the best choice indeed... Will go with orange FRN... Cool wee knife if you're a collector though me thinks... The Howes ltd. edition is sick as well!..

Thanks for your help, Doug.

Prior to the past few years of my life, I didn't give any consideration to edc knives. Changing careers at the beginning of this decade has really changed that, though. Frankly, I don't know how I ever went through life, for so long, without carrying.

Up to this point, I've been carrying a half dozen or so inexpensive Kershaws. While, they've been somewhat serving my purposes, I've gotten the feeling I'm missing out on the usefulness of a better quality build. With a bit of reading(the final enablement coming here), I decided to acquire a Native 5. Most opinions I've read seemed to point to a preference for the lightweight version, and researching steels led me to pick S35VN for my first build. With the code @Manticore provided, I'm definitely happy with the price. Thanks for the push, fellas…

Here it is...

[DougNg]

You can spend a lot more money on a knife than the Native, but the improvement in functionality will only be incremental at best.

If I still carried a locking single bladed knife, it would be either the Native or the Dragonfly.

But for me, a multitool suits my needs better.

What knife is in my pocket?

Thanks @Manticore I picked up a lil something. Which multi, @DougNg ?

[mikebarhoot]

Brobles… Emerson if i had to guess based on Black G10 and clip.

@scooter:

I decided to acquire a Native 5.

Today I used it extensively for the first time… It is a brilliant piece of kit... The sound of the locking mechanism is EPIC... The whole thing feels sturdy as fuck... Light... Handles like a dream... It just confirms that I don't need a knife bigger than 7" (total length, also insert 7" "that's what she said" joke)...

I hope you have the same feelings about this, but I'm almost certain you will... Just remember to apply some WD-40 if it's not opening smooth at first... It almost felt like it was grinding against another bit of metal at first, but it just needed a bit of lube (insert 7" here)...

Grinding always gets better with lube?

[Seul]

I'm just going to point at your avatar. And I'm not telling what I'm pointing with.

[DougNg]

There probably was just a bit of grit in the pivot and the WD40 washed it out.

[mclaincausey]

Pointing with your finger is rude. What @Seul is doing is showing affection.

Well… I may have myself a new addiction. I followed up my first Spyderco purchase by grabbing this...

Looking out for something in M390, next…

[Seul]

Nice!..

[DougNg]

M390 is fun to sharpen

/sarcasm
