Knife Picture Thread

I saw the picture. I figured you were prying with it. Interesting.

This may be a surprise to you, but you're not the first person to think that... Prying with a folder is no bueno. The whole possibility of death by airborne blade has me shying away from that.

 

[lawrra]

that feeling when you look down and realize: this is football bat status.

Yep. I'm working on a shipping label to send it back to ZT.

It's actually broken a lot farther back than any of the knives I've handed to my wife before I realized she wanted it to pry something open.

I also found it odd that it broke through the hole for the thumb stud.

Ask me about how I learned this lesson sometime, When learning this I also learned what it feels like to stick a knife through ones own hand. Sometimes stupid does hurt, and common sense is discovered.

Mailman was nice today...I was so impressed by this knife at the Chop In that I picked one up....so far, IMO, its my best bang for your buck in folders....very neat and clean, no big gaudy names everywhere.

It's a Hogue EX-01 with OD aluminum handles in the 4" variant designed by Allan Elishewitz

It's darker in person

Size compared to the ESEE 5

Stone wash finish is as good as I have ever seen. Also, I can't explain to you how nice the action is, amazing!

Lock up is perfect, and blade is pretty close to perfect on alignment

Yup, that cleaver is definitely Gangs of New York meets Kung Fu Hustle meets Attila the Hun.

Can't wait to use it

Why did you stop halfway? Couldn't finish?

Well you know it was early in the morning and I was kind of just going through the motions


Truthfully though, that tree snapped back in April and got hung up in some other trees. I figured it would be good to chop on, but when I stopped to look at the damage, I noticed that I was a little over half way through and didn't feel like running through the woods from a falling tree wearing shoes that are falling apart carrying a giant piece of 5160 that's .258" thick with over a 14" blade

I could have easily made it through though, the thing is a beast.
