I truly do not understand why anyone would pay the Benchmade tax for anything with an axis lock when the Kershaw Bel Air exists.

The Bel Air just outshines the Bugout/Bailout/etc. in every way, and costs less to boot. Opinions?

The MG Gramps (The Origin) was*almost* a perfect kit...

... if it weren't for those atrocious hands. Whoever at Bandai thought those hands' design was a good idea needs a pay cut.

Last pic is the MG next to the RG 2.0 I just recently built. That kit is flawless. I'm channeling my inner Snow White while awaiting the day we get RG-level of detail in MG kits. *Soooooome dayyyyyy my kitssssss will cooooooome*

[NKD] Scored a ZT 0044 for $275 at my local outdoor shop

This makes 3 awesome ZTs I've gotten for steep discounts at DNW Outdoors. The obsession continues...

Anybody have an Emerson Seax they'd be willing to sell, or know where I could find one?

I would love to get my hands on one of these bad boys...

[NKD] Ooops... I did it again

Zero Tolerance 0850CF. CPM 20CV blade, beautiful black and blue carbon fiber. Saw it yesterday at the same local outdoor store, and when I went home and researched it, found it was also a $300 knife that they had priced at $150.99

​

Couldn't help myself, so I went back today and snagged it. That's 2 awesome discontinued ZT knives for half price in 2 days. I'm on 🔥😎

[NKD] Over the moon right now... just scored this beauty for $150 brand new

Local outdoor store had it marked $150.99 in the display case, and I didn't ask questions. I just said "I want that one." Couldn't find the box, so they looked it up, and found it normally retailed for twice the amount, but they honored the price they had it marked under. Probably the best deal I'll ever find.

[NKD] Saw someone else post one of these the other day, so I had to check one out for myself

Harbor Freight special, Icon pocket knife. I have to say, for $40, this is a pretty impressive knife. D2 blade, G-10 scales, ceramic ball bearing pivot with a smooth action, and fit and finish is unexpectedly good. It's also pretty good-looking knife, to top it all off.

Still just doesn't *feel* quite as good as my Spydercos or American-made Kershaws, but for the money, it's pretty impressive and well worth the $40.

Can anybody else look at the holes in their knife drawers and know exactly which knives they want to fill them with?

My BladeHQ wish list has literally 7 knives to fill the 7 spaces in my Harbor Freight U.S. General mini toolbox that I turned into my knife box. The real question is, will I stop once its full, or will I just buy another U.S. General Mini Toolbox in a different color and start over?

Not If I want to stay married, I think...

HELP!!! Scraped over 16k titles taking hours on Brick, and still don't have all cover art and metadata...

I used the Scrape function in Knulli and it scraped for several hours, but then the system either crashed or froze. This happened several times before I finally somehow got it to finish. Problem is, I'm still missing tons of cover art and metadata. What could be the problem?

[NKD] Spyderco Military 2 Salt (CPM Magnacut; G-10)

Visited Nashville Tactical Lounge at a redditor's suggestion, and was not disappointed. Great store, great guys.

Probably worry-warting over nothing but...

Anybody ever get a Spyderco with a very faint maker mark? The Eric Glesser mark in particular on my Manix 2 XL is very faint/not deeply etched. Attached is a pic of my PM3 for comparison. I bought them both from my local outdoor store, so surely the Manix 2 XL isn't a fake or anything... just a weak etch on this knife?

Wife found some glow-in-the-dark paracord at Hobby Lobby, so I made some cool lanyards

Added them to my PM3 and Manix 2 XL. Thought they turned out pretty cool and functional.

My new Spyderco Manix 2 XL. Really made the scales pop, plus adds an extra layer of protection. I just used mineral oil, same as what I lube all of my blades with.

A month ago, I wasn't sold on Spyderco. Now I'm on my second one. I've officially been bitten by the Spyder 🕷
