The nice thing about right now (not this second but 2023/2024) is that there is a huge variety of inexpensive knives that are of very good quality. What used to be flee-market-or-gas-station-garbage-knife prices will now get you a knife that will last you, if not the rest of your life, for a good long while. It's rather amazing. No need to break the bank for a quality product for sure.
I had one of it closed but it was crap so I didn't post it. I took these at work rather quickly (hence the yellow note pad) and didn't want to risk someone walking by and seeing me and then immediately call HR. ๐
This is the way.
Today should be that day! ๐
This is the truth!
The Chevalier is great. I agree with all the reasons you give there. I wanted the non-coated blade so I went with the G10 but I feel like I should have purchased the micarta version too and swapped the blades.
The Civivi Conspirator is the same knife body but different blade shape, FYI, if you ever get the urge to buy another knife. :)
I'm curious if you can front-flip these. It seems like you might be able to if the action is just right?
If the hero of the movie that plays in my mind busts into the house and says "I can't save all of humanity without a working Iomega ZIP drive!!!" well friends, we are indeed saved because I have 2.
Made an edit to the post because I just remembered that I have 3 more frame locks that I didn't think about... So this day is starting off as a bit of a head scratcher.
There are some who curate their collections which...is probably what I should be doing but it's not in my nature. Knife Swap on the other place is full of guys essentially leasing knives as they go from one to the next.
I am a pack rat for a lot of things that make no sense so this is par for the course. (If you want some early to mid-2000's computer hardware I've got you covered!)
The only other really active community I've found in the Lemmyverse (for just knives and not overall EDC) is here: https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
I cross-posted it there and hopefully members of that group will also post here on lemmy.world.
What a great thing to do for the community here! Is this for lemmy.world only or can this be cross-posted?
I am going to be posting but I don't need to be in the drawing as my friend is already printing parts from those awesome STL files. ๐
