    In the spirit of sharing, I’ve been going through my knife box and pulled out these two little cutters by Fred Perrin. I am a big fan of his knives because of their performance, simplicity, and value. His knives are a bargain in the world of customs and he is a generally nice guy to deal with. That being said, I’d be pretty scared if he ever got pissed off [emoji15]



    If you cant even see the edge you know it’s sharp!

      I've been browsing knife webshops & forums a lot the last few days…. I don't really expect civil unrest, but then again nobody ever expect it until it rushes a you... Getting a few pieces in the next couple weeks...

        @neph93:

        Maybe of interest to followers if this thread. My wife’s cousin lives outside of Alesund in the south west of Norway and taught himself knife-making three years ago. He’s making some interesting stuff…

        Very nice!

          I’d bet a case of beer there will be civil unrest…

          I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

            Cant remember if I shared this one but here it is again. The Gambler’s Vest Bowie by Craig Camerer with a coffin handle, damascus fittings, and a W2 blade with hamon.

              Got my first spyderco recently, UKPK. Also featured is a black fox bean and A Wright. UK legal carry requires slip joint, under 3 inch cutting blade, non threatening appearance, and a police officer that interprets the law liberally!

                    Going through some spring cleaning over the weekend and got reacquainted with this beauty. For background, Jimmy Lile was a US-based knifemaker who was asked by Sylvester Stallone to make the knives for the first two Rambo films. This is the 1st version from the movie First Blood.

                      Very nice. Is that a custom version?

                          Jimmy made 13 of the original and half of those went to Stallone. The remainder are in private collections and run about $50k each. This version is Jimmy's design but made in partnership with custom knifemaker Vince Ford in a 100-piece run.

                                  I'm going to reverse my stance when it comes to automatic knives, specifically OTF knives.
                                  The conversation here spurred me to bring up while catching up with some friends that have either worked or work in law enforcement if an auto knife is good for self defense.
                                  They brought up a good point, when you're getting pounded on or trying to retain your weapon, pulling out a pocketknife, putting your thumb on a thumbstud or index finger on a flipper, flipping out the knife and THEN having to readjust your grip is tough. According to them, there's a pretty high chance of dropping the knife. Having an auto you wouldn't have to adjust your grip.With that being said, they say a fixed blade is best.
                                  Giving the Microtech Dirac a try after those conversations.

                                    @DougNg crikey I find it so sad that that's the perspective of a police officer. For me a kinfe is for opening packages and other such tasks. I really hope we can all get to a point where it doesn't feel necessary to pre-empt the use of lethal force just to keep safe  😞

                                      Why? He has a family and a right to defend himself both personally and professionally. I’m not defending the egregious attacks that officers have perpetrated but there are legit reasons for drawing a weapon.

                                      I dont know Doug personally, but after reading him on the forums for the last 10 years, he seems to know his shit.

                                      If I’m misunderstanding your perspective and you are making more of a social commentary then I apologize for calling you out. It’s easy to misconstrue opinions in the world that we live in today.

                                        @Manticore that Lile designed bowie is just plain badass. Definitely a collector piece!
