***Knife Thread***

I'm very disappointed with my sheath for my CRKT neck knife. This sheath is not ideal for neck carry. the knife has fallen out on me twice in the two hours i had it on. Once when running up some stairs and once when i was sitting down and i BENT OVER. i could have very easily stabbed myself...

Good thing you don't carry it in your pants, then!

Sad news, had to cancel the manix 2 order b/c they were sold out.. However the karambit arrived today -what a crazy azz knife - until I learn to use it, every time i start twirling it around I feel the impending doom of the knife shooting straight into my arm

**shaheenjamal** · 03-03-2010, 10:10 PM

what model and brand is that karambit? cant seem to find it on ebay.

**aznefxSteveo** · 03-04-2010, 03:31 AM

it's a 5.11 CUB Journeyman, made of 154CM and has FRN handles, vice the more expensive model which is S30V w/ G10 handles.

Buy some good small rare earth magnets, and modify your sheath.

I just bought a Benchmade 2550.

What should I buy to sharpen it when the time comes?

**aznefxSteveo** · 03-04-2010, 08:13 AM

looks good. reviews says it's pretty easy

what is your experience with it?

**aznefxSteveo** · 03-04-2010, 09:04 AM

very user friendly and comes with a DVD. The whole principle behind using it is keeping the blade straight up and down while using a pulling motion to sharpen. Im sure there's youtube videos of it.

So far I've sharpened several knives with my sharpmaker. Works fantastically, better than any stone I've used b/c of the consistency with the angels.

sharpmaker is the only way to go imo. i have one too.

i emailed crkt and they're sending me a new sheath but i dont know if it will help. i think the design is just weak.

how could i fix it with rare earth magnets?

Well I suppose it depends on the type of sheath... I had a fabric wrapped sheath with only one magnet on either side for a neck knife I had in High School. I pulled the stitching loose, added 2 more magnets to either side, and had a professional sow it all back up. Held the knife MUCH more securely.

Looked at a S.O.G. Seal Pup yesterday. Didn't like it. The assisted opening was nice, and the blade was awesome, but I think the handle is just too light. I guess I could get used to it, though.......

**Hartski** · 03-19-2010, 02:58 AM

^^^WTF? Other than assurring to stab yourself in the nuts, what is the point of that??

**Advil** · 03-19-2010, 03:04 AM

the lulz. obviously.

**Hartski** · 03-19-2010, 03:15 AM

Wal Mart has some good Kershaw and Gerber knives for under $50. Some are even assisted openers.

Honestly, I'm surprised someone hasn't tried to put Crimson Trace grips on a knife yet........

**Advil** · 03-21-2010, 12:36 AM

Hey guys. I need a knife thats 5.5" or less, fixed blade, full tang and eligible for amazon prime.

I'm looking at the ka-bar short version right now but am open to other options. it has to be 5.5" or less because thats the legal limit in Texas for carrying around (this will be in my edc/bob). and i want this for an emergency/survival situation.

http://www.amazon.com/Ka-Bar-Short-F...9156835&sr=1-6

i have an amazon prime acct so i'd like to take advantage of that

first thing that came to mind

http://www.coldsteel.com/kobun.html

A very sweet blade that slips very easily into a boot, I have an older version thats battle worn (as at was) and still performs like a champ.

Also there very reasonably priced, especially if you shop around, and they also come with a terrific sheath

^^Can't say enough good things about Cold Steel.

I have very mixed opinions on Cold Steel, based specifically on which product I'm talking about at the time.

I can't say I love their marketing. That along with my hit or miss experience in the past has led me to stay away in general, but there are no bad feelings. On the other hand, certain companies have yet to really let me down with a product. I am a pretty big fan of Spyderco, Kershaw, and Benchmade.
