EVERYONE COP THIS!!!!

many of you may not know...but the steel on this is the ULTIMATE steel right now!!

and this is MAD CHEAP.

wtf where'd my post go. im cool tho.

so my EZ cr2 only turns on in high mode...

it occasionally turns on in low, but you have to play with it a little. it might be out of batteries as i've been playing with it a lot. but it's only been a week.

=\

i had a flash. it was just too lightweight and cheapy-feeling. nice flat grind though. might get the flash 2 in the future.

sog makes good knives for the price.

Anyone have classy knives w/ maybe a wood handle or some nice design, or is everyone just off on this tech stuff...?

sup tho.

Benchmade 440, 690 have wood handles. gentleman's folder for sure.

or are you talking about slip joint knives? like this :

i don't know too much about slip joints.

but for "classy" knives, look up gentlemen's folders. that's what they are generally classified as.

yeah i could have warned you that cr2s cost $$$ at retail stores. i got 4 duracell CR2s shipped from batteryjunction.com for 11 bucks, but it might be way cheaper for you since you're on the east coast like them.

oh and wut? i'm in OC.

any knife people out there know anything about the Boker Urban Survival? I'm looking to get a more discrete knife for school carry, something with a small blade to use for really lame light tasks. It's only $25 shipped and it looks like a pen and has super deep carry so I don't think anyone can spot it on me, unlike my shiny ass Spyderco clip.

sorry it's not a benchmade. /noob

shit LOOKS dumb. tanto blade (made for piercing) the "recurve"(usually made to enhance slicing), if you can call it that, looks very non-practical. handles might be uncomfy to hold.

440c blade=good for price

aluminum handles=better than plastic

linerlock=better than lockback, imo

looks VERY difficult to sharpen too, and 440c is a soft steel compared to others, so it'll dull quicker, but is supposed to be easier to sharpen.

for 20 bucks, just go for it if you want that size and whatnot.

even though i still say fish up another 30 bucks and go for a mini-grip.

oh and the threads were really crappily lubed. (too much) so i cleaned it out and lubed it myself. it's much better now.

btw. THIS THING IS SO SMALL. WTF

just got a cr2. 20 bucks. good deal. bought a battery at radio shack. stupid thing was 8 bucks.

ok so i have a surefire 6p (i think that's what it's called). and this little thing blows it away in brightness. the beams are the same size and whatnot. the build of the surefire is better though.

when i press down on the top part of the EZ cr2, the light turns on. which is understandable because it's a twist. but it gets me paranoid that it'll turn on in my pocket and drain the battery.

so the bad part about EDCs...

i don't know where i put my benchmade... it's either in san diego or the trunk of my car....

??? what model?

man, people be tryna flip the frikin atwood rulers for 100 bucks on the forums im on. wth is that.

benchmade pens?!

doubles as a kubaton/ stabbing people device.

personally, i thought it was too heavy. as i tend to do twirl my pen around and whatnot. but super cool. they questioned me when i went to the airport about it, but let me keep it.

got this for sale benchmade 527. for 42 bucks. used

That's pretty sexy, can you put a clip on it? I'm sans man bag most days.

yeah, it comes with a clip. tip down right hand carry if i remember correctly.

i had one of these. REALLY light knife. perfect size for a gentleman's knife.

awesome blade steel too. these go for around 115

Sup Tho!!!

wut's good homies

hey ken, is that a kubaton????

any small , durable knives you guys recommend?? i was looking at a spiderco c109bkp.

how much you willing to spend? like i've said before, benchmade's mini-grip is a GREAT place to start with knives. there's the 555 and the 556. one with a hole and one with a thumb stud. these can be around 50-70 depending on where you shop. i have little experience with spyderco, but that knife you mentioned doesn't look too good. it's expensive for what you get. and the blade is 3.5. this is considered medium in the folding knife world. (i think)

if you're looking to spend more, look up benchmade 943 or 940. the best edc knives in the price range IMO.

i know..i'm kinda biased, but i love benchmades and the axis lock!

oh and i got a benchmade 527 that i can sell you for cheap if you want.

any non-smokers carry lighters? i wanna start carrying a zippo just for the hell of it, but i don't smoke.

oh and i carried a handkerchief today because of that link. haha. used it to wipe off sweat!

how do you guys carry paracord? just bunch it up and stuff it in your pocket? i've found having paracord can be VERY useful in my edc, but i don't know how to carry it. except in small plastic bag. i carry about 6 feet.

Your data suggest a strong automatic preference for European American compared to African American.

i really need a new flashlight....

in the meantime, i just picked this up on of these!

the plain edge one. woohoo. it's a 806bk-901. limited to 250 for plain edge and 250 for combo edge. this is my 2nd one, one to use and one to keep NIB.

^ would rather just blind him w/ 200 lumens and run :]

or flash(on and off) it in his eyes while running towards him with your knife.

yeah, i never was much of a fan for the hollowgrind edge. i was cutting cardboard all day and knife is still sharp.

i'm going to try and give it a convex edge.

i have titanium wilkins grips with red spacer if you're ever interested.

you the guy trying to sell them on the benchmade forums?

yo branespload. i got a surefire 6p LED from plaza cutlery not too long ago. i like it, but it's a nuisance to carry without a clip. would also want something brighter. got any suggestions?
