Re: Post Your Tactical Folders
I haven't paid much attention to this thread because I'm not really into "Tactical" knives.
As a matter of fact these are the selected few in my collection. I have one other that
says POLICE on it, but at the moment I don't know where it is.

Re: Post Your Tactical Folders
Most "mini" knives are too small to be functional, in my opinion, but this Tops Mini Scandi Folder (MSF) is not in that group. Coming in at 4 1/4" closed with a 3 1/4" blade made out of Bohler N690Co and handled in Brown (they say Tan but it doesn't look Tan to me) Canvas Micarta, this knife is up for bigger jobs than you might expect. I would say it's pretty much regular sized for a tactical folder, maybe Tops has plans for a larger framed version? I just received it but I really like how it looks and functions. Looking at the spine, I think the Micarta resembles wood grain a little.
These are USA made too!

Re: Post Your Tactical Folders
Anyone else ever buy a knife on impulse and then when you get it in hand you wonder what on earth you were thinking?
Well, I did.
It's not a bad knife just not something I think I'll ever use. Probably end up giving it away eventually.

Re: Post Your Tactical Folders
Q,
I think I have one like that, what's not to like about it?

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

Re: Post Your Tactical Folders
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.1967redrider wrote: ↑Sat Aug 08, 2020 1:39 am Q,

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.

Re: Post Your Tactical Folders
A rather early production Emerson Mini CQC-7B. It is really beat up, and I don't know what has happened to it (especially in that the 154CM seemed soft), but Emerson confirmed it is a real knife. I am thinking about having it refurbished. But, between shipping (they want UPS, and it's expensive), the spa treatment fee ($45), and return shipping ($15, about the same as what UPS will charge me), it's a little expensive. Close to $100 between the $30 something I have in the knife, and all the fees. The knife will be cleaned, sharpened, and all hardware replaced, but still, the banged-up blade. Yet, Buck and Victorinox charge peanuts for major repairs (including blade/implement replacements and full-on restorations), and I bet each probably repairs 100X the knives Emerson does in a year.
Re: Post Your Tactical Folders
That's a serious looking knife! Too bad about the issues, but you're correct. I not a big time Buck collector, but you can't beat the way they treat their customers, and I've found that Spyderco is pretty good too, I've never dealt with Emmerson.cody6268 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 08, 2020 2:17 am A rather early production Emerson Mini CQC-7B.

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