^^^^^

Thanks for the embed, I picked it up while training in the Blackwater EPS north Div program in MT Carroll Illinois years ago. Used as an everyday utility knife these days, but it's razor sharp.

kershaw skyline. nothin fancy, it gets the job done. Eventually ill get a good benchmade. Right now im kind of in search mode for a camping/survival kind of blade. Kind of torn between a tomahawk, machete, or a KA-BAR style knife.

i like my kershaw just as much as my benchmade to be honest. the benchmade has an edge over the kershaw, but its also much more expensive.

i have the kershaw r.a.m

and its IMO, just as good as my mini griptallian, just cheaper
http://www.amazon.com/Benchmade-Mini...0294403&sr=1-4

holds a nice edge, very robust construction, etc. if price weren't an issue i'd probably still take the benchmade as i like the axis lock better

I've thought a lot about the RAM, but I've gotten into smaller knives (right now EDCing a Spyderco Cricket), and unfortunately don't prefer Kershaw's smaller offerings.

Sog Twich II


Picked it up, dusted it off and it was good to go. Ran it down my arm and popped a few hairs!

Did you do the paracord wrap yourself on that one? If so, good job!

[SemperParatus]

yeah I did. Thanks.

[Advil]

god damn it i want an izula!

[AlphaBrass01]

Me too! Each time I think about an Izula or Becker Necker or something similar, I end up not getting one just because I don't really have a way to carry one effectively most days. I work as a paralegal, so neck carry with a dress shirt would be impractical and belt carry wouldn't exactly be office-appropriate.

As such, smaller folders have been my go-to, with my all-time favorite currently being the Spyderco Cricket. A stainless, serrated Cricket is my current edc, though the new Spyderco Balance looks really interesting. I might think about it once they finish the carbon fiber sprint run and release the stainless version (much more affordable).

If anyone has any suggestions for good small folders that carry low, I would be interested in hearing them. I do prefer liner/frame locks as well - easy to use and strong enough for the lighter use I put them through.

Get one brahs, it's easily worth the $40 (rockynational.com)

Alphabrass, The Izula is small enough that you can put it into your pocket and it doesn't leave a print or stick out. I've been carrying it in my pocket since I got it and it has been comfortable that way, don't even notice it.

Honestly, it may be the perfect EDC knife. Not only is it easy to carry, but it's tough as hell and would do just fine in the woods.

So, do you generally just carry it in the sheath loose in pocket?

yep, exactly. The sheath is very secure. You definitely don't have to worry about it accidentally coming loose.

[PancakeOfDoom]

i really like the izula, now i just need to buy one, thinking i'll grab one on tuesday as i found a dealer in-town that carries ESEE, need to stock up on p-cord anyways.

[AlphaBrass01]

This may have to be the next blade purchase I make.

[TheLBM]

just ordered one.

Whats the point of knife collecting? I don't mean it in a bad way, but do you guy's just collect them? Do you use them for something in specific? Or is it like coin collecting?

ART collecting is more like it.

some of them are bought for specific purposes. some are just upgrading. and some are bought because they are high quality and attractive.

[RatherBeLifting]

OK so im lazy and am going to get flamed for this but....... Are there any good electric knife sharpeners out there?

[SemperParatus]

just ordered one.

Awesome!

I just ordered the ESEE-4 not sure how I convinced the wife but I need to remember. Lulz.


Now I need to decide on the ESEE 5 or 6 next.




To the guy asking about collecting, there are many different reasons. For me, I use them for different things. The Izula is taking over as my EDC knife from my Gerber Freeman folder, the ESEE-4 will be used for cleaning game and finer camp work and the ESEE-5 or 6 will replace my Gerber LMF II for the heavy duty camp work.

[SemperParatus]

Adding a pic of the one I bought. Got the Orange G-10 handle slabs since it will be used for camping/hunting and I can just imagine setting it down and not being able to find it if it's too camouflaged.
