New to frame locks. What is an acceptable amount of contact? Brand new knife.

Made a post the other day about what's the point of paracord and after many comments I decided to give it a shot. Was in the Dollar Tree and noticed 20ft of "paracord" (i understand that it probably isn't quality stuff). I bought it to practice and it's a little ugly but after trying it out....I really dig it! Might even buy a fixed blade and a small knife just to get the full feel!

The Tacray Folding Chef Knife is a surprisingly practical and well built knife that combines the convenience of a folding knife with the cutting performance of a compact chef knife. The blade comes extremely sharp and slices through vegetables, meat, and other food with ease, making it great for camping, travel, or outdoor cooking. Its G10 handle feels comfortable and secure in hand, while the button lock keeps the blade solid during use. The folding design makes it easy to carry and store safely, though it can feel a little bulkier than a traditional kitchen knife. Overall, it offers excellent build quality, smooth action, and impressive cutting performance for anyone looking for a portable cooking knife.

What a fun gentleman’s knife. Aluminum scales. 154CM steel. Sub 3” blade. And surprisingly fidgety action with the thumbstud. Front flipper option as well. I wish the scales had a little more grip to them but that’s just personal preference as I explore the knife world. Great office option for something slim and a little larger than going compact.

The Remette Camel is damn near perfect in my humble opinion. If it wasn’t for the pivot screw always backing out, I would’ve crowned this baby EDC King!!!

Local Walmart had this bad Larry and the compact tuna for $15 each, passed up on the tuna

First knife I've ever bought. I'd say its feels pretty good for a clone. Just a misprint on the Ultratech on the blade. Been using it for a week now, and I love it.

Just bought the Ozark Trail Valor cause why not. $20, super sharp 14C28N, right out the package, the crossbar is pretty stiff but nothing some fidgeting won't fix, and the matte finish on the aluminum scales offers a bit of grip. Also im a sucker for the blue and bronze

Lightweight, really nice texture on the scales, feels good in the hand, well worth the $35.

Got my Kizer nice guy a couple of weeks ago. On sale on Amazon’s for sub $30. I’m kind of surprised this knife doesn’t get mentioned more. Smooth flipper action. Sharp D2 drop point blade. Grippy handle without feeling like sandpaper. Just a fun, affordable, well made knife. It’s the all around middle of the road not flashy but does everything well knife.
