I've been looking around on SpyderCo, but their site drives me crazy.

I loathe Cold Steel.

Check out BladeHQ and look at the spyderco knives on there, easier to navigate

See the problem is...the knife has ZERO practical use. I think that video poster is HIGHLY mistaken if he thinks that is a good self defense knife. Flailing around a 17 OAL folder is not a good idea. I also consider it highly unconcealable and 1 pound for a knife is A LOT.

Also want to point out there aren't very many states with a ZERO limit for blade length, which is what you would need.

yeah im wolfgang everywhere lol

I like the lion steel stuff but they are way to heavy for me.

I think im going to pick up the ZT Talon for work Its the perfect shape for score and snapping acrylic.

emopunker2004 · 06-23-2012, 04:17 PM

i think i found you on BF but if it's you then you havent been on in a good while eh?

That's a nice one, not my style but it looks sweet.

emopunker2004 · 06-23-2012, 04:30 PM

get a Zero Tolerance 0300 Greg

Wolfgang · 06-23-2012, 04:30 PM

emopunker2004 · 06-23-2012, 05:51 PM

I've heard nothing but positive things about Zero Tolerance.

I'm a big fan of that, and the Zing. The Zing is like sub $40, and it's worth it for sure.

In other news, ever since looking at this thread, I've been toying around with getting into knives again. I still have a couple. I've been in love with this.

emopunker2004 · 06-23-2012, 06:17 PM

The only thing about that Benchmade customizer is that it makes the knife soooo expensive in comparison to buying one premade.

Still looking for another knife though. Thinking Spyderco Para2:

Black/Black

or

Black/Camo

I love mine. Carry it every day, use it about every day. BTW, mine is the half serrated model.

I thought you had the military not the paramilitary2? which of those colors I posted do you prefer?

longknocker · 06-23-2012, 07:00 PM

I Like The Black/ Black. Not Much Of A Camo Person.

Aha, I did not know it didn't hold an edge. I need a blade that is rust resistant, I'll probably always be living around the ocean, for the foreseeable future anyways. I need to do some research now because I didn't ever hear that about the Spyderco. Damn it.

Oops, you're correct. My FOG eyes didn't read the "para" in military

Mine is the Military, black on black.

They use to send me catalogs all the time, dvds, of the annoying company owner doing a bunch of "tests" with his knives. None of them were very valid IMHO.

Also most of their knives use Aus-8 which is NOT a premium steel. Pretty much the very basic or intro steel, just like 440C.

I don't care if they found Unicorn horns and it somehow was the toughest object on earth that never went dull, I still wouldn't want anything from them. I used to watch their YouTube channel for hours lol

Found this on WalMart. Not sure on the blade length though.
