[thelion1856]

that manix 2 looks sick as hell

[branespload]

Yeah, I had no idea that was a no no, their site says it's ok

alkaline batteries if left sitting in anything for a long time can eventually leak. stick to low self discharge rechargable NiMH batteries.

pleaaaaaaase

no.

XM18 w/o flipper will be super easy to open. I like my flipper, but it's definitely not needed. CTS-XHP is NICE and blade finish is beautiful. I'll take some pictures tomorrow.

I'm set on knives, now I need to step up my lumens and gunz game.

[kenthenoob]

didn't someone post a DPx HEST folder in this thread somewhere? have been thinking about it... or a new crk.

[35percent]

DO NOT GET A HEST FOLDER!!!!

HORRIBLE quality control, rushed production, and HORRIBLE customer service. The tip of the blade was exposed, and there fix was to send you 3 spacers to fix it yourself.

You got your shit fast!

Such a shame. That knife looked really awesome. Was actually asking about it a few months back cuz I was interested. Good to know I didn't impulse buy.

[kenthenoob]

but i heard they fixed that in the newer productions? oh well.

[tylerdurden]

id say carry a folder for edc type jobs. and rather than spending money on overbuilt folders just buy a decent fixed blade to handle the other tasks. often times i can get most things any normal person would use a edc blade for done with a well sharpened sak. appropriate tools for the task at hand.

[35percent]

Fuck all that shit i wanna swag out with my 5 ounce, titanium lockside, carpenter steel blade that can go through body armor.

[tylerdurden]

people that use word swag = swaggots?? idk

should have used #sarcasm in my last post...

[tylerdurden]

oh my bad man.

[detonacija]

what are your opinions on Maxpedition Vulture II - 3 Day VS Mystery Ranch - 3 Day

[35percent]

Can't speak to the Maxpedition pack, although I know they make great stuff, but I have 3 Dane Design Packs (Mystery Ranch's old company) and they're amazing. My friend has the MR assault and he loves it. I'll probably be picking one up this summer.

really, for an EDC knife, all you need is a case peanut

an awesome set-up would be a case peanut

a craftsman 4-way keychain screwdriver

and a photon

oh my bad man.

Ha it's cool man. And yeah, most people can get away with a SAK, or even a basic 2-3 inch folder in the $40-50 price range, but I just like tactical overbuilt stuff because I think it's cool.

EDC related story - My Dad and I were unloading some 2x4s yesterday and he got a sliver that was about a half inch big, pulled that sucker out with my juice s2.

True. My in-the-pockets set-up lately has been a GEC Northfield #56 (spear point + small pen blade), Quark MiNi 123 and a Leatherman Micra. Light, easy, and non-threatening, but everything I need for 99% of the daily grind.

The traditional slipjoint approach is way less obtrusive in the workplace/day to day world than whipping out even something as tame as a UKPK - which still screams "knife" to many people.

[PQRS7]

why are you so nervous? is it the scars?

the little boy said: no, it's the goddamn knife.

[kenthenoob]

how do you carry the baton anyway?

[PQRS7]

how do you carry the baton anyway?

briefcase or just slip it in the car door

it will do until cold steel finishes R&D on my tactical umbrella baton idea

besides this really monotonous tone when he talks, that makes me want to fall asleep, the video is just wow. i hope it gets thousands of hits.

[pepper davies]

I'm sure they've already lost thousands of dollars from that video. He should have asked them what they consider a defect.

[mufid]

any recommendations for a nice small pencil case/wrap that can still hold a lot of stuff?
