Q,

I think I have one like that, what's not to like about it?

John

I got a deal on this Kizer Gunhammer in S35VN with textured Titanium handles. Paid half of what most dealers are selling this for.

Nice looking knife for sure!

I'm not familiar with that brand. What is it? What's the size on that one?

CJRB Agave Nature Jade (also available in other handle colors)
3.72" D2 steel blade with a G10 Handle (8.25 OAL) Made in China
$38.84 @ Atlantic Knife

Nothing wrong with it at all. It's just not one that I would carry (too big/heavy for my EDC needs) and not the type of knife I collect. So, I'm not quite sure why I got it other than it appealed to me at the moment and wasn't expensive.

On further thought, I am thinking it might make a decent folding knife for the kitchen because I can store it in a drawer without damaging/dulling the edge (which is D2 and razor sharp). That's probably what I'll end up using it for.

Nice Kizer, BTW...a handful of a knife but I'm guessing the Titanium keeps it fairly light weight.

Sounds like a good plan for the CJRB, Q, and thanks!

Just posted these on the Kershaw thread.

Those are some nice ones!

[1967redrider]

Quick Steel, is that last one a Damascus Al Mar? Very sweet looking knives.

Redrider, the last knife was designed by the late Bob Lum and executed by Haru of Seki-City Japan.

John, that pile makes my mouth water. Is the bottom one with the flag on it also Speedsafe®. I do love me some Speedsafe®.

Jerry, they're all 3 SpeedSafe. I like the assisted opening but some guys take the torsion bars out and make them flippers. Personally I don't know why.

That's just crazy talk right there. They must be tetched in the head.

I don't get it either, Jerry, but it happens.

A new pickup, the First Tactical Sidewinder Safety Knife. The blade is of a good size and profile, and very thick. The web cutter is very sharp, which is rare, even on more well-known knives from companies like Kershaw.

It is 5" closed, with a 3.52" blade. Really weird why they didn't make it just a smidge smaller, as to stay within many states' sub 3.5" blade laws.


Deep carry clip:

The problem is that the knife is too thick and heavy for pocket carry, and I have to use a sheath. This was to some Normark knife, but I don't know which, since I bought it cheap, but brand new without a knife. Probably an EKA lockback. I used to use it for a Leatherman, but it fits this knife great.

And a question--has Mike Vellekamp designed anything for an actual knife company? I know of two Italian-made "Bladetech" brand knives; but I've mostly seen his designs on knives from clothing companies like First Tactical, 5.11 Tactical, and Noble Equine.

[1967redrider]

Cool knife, Cody! But I know nothing about Vellekamp, might have to look into his designs.


Jerry, if you happen to see this, I have another Kershaw on the way but it's not a SpeedSafe® and SMKW wouldn't sell it to me, but BladeHQ did.

Well guys, I just pimped out my ZT 0350TS with some Black/Gray Stipple G-10 scales from VZ Grips. Found them on KnifeCenter and thought they might look cool. This thing reminds me of a Panzer Tank.

Pretty pleased with the end result, I have an anodized pivot pin coming too, but I wish it was red, I think that would really set it off. The texture is very grippy, not like run of the mill G-10 isn't, but this really feels good in hand. Not a bad project if you have the right tools. Plus I always keep my "assisted" knives assisted.

[Quick Steel]

Just looking at your knife makes me want to surrender. Formidable.

[1967redrider]

Ha!!! Thank you, Sir!

[TPK]

Looking good John!

[1967redrider]

This knife has been traveling with me a lot over my Bachelor's party weekend! Added a Bronze pivot screw and I really like how it turned out.

You really get a lot of grip off of them.

Thanks!
