Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

[Seul]

Fucking love the Ti-Lock… It's my family dinner carrier... You want something classy but also something you might have to stab a car's tire with if they don't stop for you at a pedestrian crossing on the way over...

I’ve found shining a Surefire into their eyeballs is a lot more effective and less likely to land me in jail.

I CONSTANTLY have to deal with that horseshit walking my dogs at night

I did of course meant the word "tyre"… Bit tyred, entyrely my fault, do apologise...

[DougNg]

Seriously the flashlight thing is fun

Also fun for shitty kids that are taunting your dog

@Seul you'll find it's very light.  The interior of the titanium was milled out to reduce the weight and it's noticeable.  It disappears in the pocket.  The 393 is much heavier.  The angles on the 470 are gorgeous though in my opinion, it feels substantial while also being very light.  It's the 14 oz of knives.

Also, the one in your photo looks like it's from the first run.  Subsequent runs have milling on the exterior to add some grip and character.  It's not as smooth and looks nicer to me.

Received it today… What a wee fucking beauty... Very discrete li'l thing... Pockets like crazy... Doesn't pull or rip on my pocket... Weight is about perfect... Substantial but not heavy... Slim... Beautiful curves... Oh and it's me first flipper so I had great fun with it at work today...

Thanks @Matt !..

Fantastic.  Enjoy!

Fitted my Small Sebenza with a deep carry clip from MXG Gear. Love it!

Oh I like that, I’ll need to look it up.

It's great. Nice, thick Ti stock and available in a few different colors–I like that the blue matches the fading blue on some of the hardware.

This clip mitigates the only thing that keeps the Sebenza from being flawless, a really crappy clip made of thin stock. Mine got bent out of usefulness almost immediately.

[Anesthetist]

I’ve never bent a seb clip but it does make the knife ride higher than I like. I’ve had one of mine almost work its way out of my pocket…

FWIW, CRK also makes an improved clip, @Anesthetist  –would post a link but I'm behind a VPN that blocks his Web site.

[Anesthetist]

Why sell an improved clip for your $400 knife. Just put the bloody thing on it in the first place. Cmon CRK…

Yeah, it's $50 to this one's $30 for the privilege too. Not sure that it's deep carry either, which is my preference. It does look cool though.

New Zero Tolerance in the stable. Deep carry clip.

Flipper family portrait

Curtiss F3 large
Spyderco Southard with desert ironwood scales. This one has kind of a sloppy detente and is not a satisfying flip action but otherwise great
ZT Sinkevich
ZT 0022

The ZTs have the best detente and flip of the bunch, at least in part due to ball bearings on the framelock. The Sinkevich would benefit from gimping continuing a bit on the handle. The gimping on the 0022 is CRK level and I wish all blades were as good.

On the non-flipping front, a $20 Chinese liner lock knife that has great feel and action

Just ordered an Impinda last night and cant wait for another CRK to join my small flock. Let’s see some CRKs [emoji7]

I had a few dollars left to burn on a gift card. Picked this up. Opens boxes and beers.

Kershaw makes some cool stuff, nice pickup.
