Comfort Knives!

[Madmarco]

Marco is BACK!! He is the "Dog" at the "Top" of this thread TopDog ... hehe
These two are a daily carry CK and CC (comfort cup)...

That's a solid looking folder, Tony, very cool. I love the thought on your cup, too, walk around all day think'n 'bout Hawaii. I browsed your store today after somewhat of an absence, and you sure have some gorgeous models in stock. You're stocking some McCusta's now I see, good for you, buddy. All the best, bro!

Interesting info about axe's, Dogg, and they certainly have caught your attention. I hope we don't need to start calling you Norman Bates???
And your geography is pretty good, too, except, Hull and Gatineau are CDN CITIES located in the PROVINCE of Quebec, whereas Quebec is a PROVINCE not a CITY, that has Hull and Gatineau as 2 of it's CITIES. Same thing as Los Angles, the CITY, in the STATE of California. Get it, buddy?::hmm:: Please give Zeus a good rub-down for me, and maybe a treat for being such a good boy!

.... Uhhh .... Thanks for the geography lesson Marco... ... I think I found a way to simplify things as far as that goes ... I am familiar (as most people are thanks to "The X Files") with Area 52* ... Well now, there appears to be a new "Area" of mystery and wonder on the horizon.... .... I will now refer to the G.W.N (Canada) as "Area 51" ( 51 as in the 51st.... ... well, you know the rest..... ).......



*The Tonopah Test Range (TTR, also designated as Area 52) is a highly classified, restricted military installation of the United States Department of Defense, and United States Department of Energy

PLEASE, don't encourage Donny-Boy and his ramblings, my friend, he seems to be calming down now that his butt-buddy took his bat and ball and went home, and we don't want to risk upsetting that vulnerable mood he's in.

I broke out my CRKT "Redemption" cross-lock for today, and this cool knife is 9 1/4" with a stonewash CPM Magnacut spear-point blade, SS bolsters, G-10 covers, cross-lock open/closing, and ambi pocket clip. Weighs nearly 5 oz.'s.
Designed by Ken Onion after the all-black Aces and Eights "Deadman's Hand" held by Wild Bill Hickock when he was bushwhacked by the coward Robert Ford, as he played poker.
This large but really cool knife can only be opened or closed using the cross-lock system, no nail-nick or pinch-pull is available. Not cheap for a CRKT knife, but worth it, IMO.

I'm curious about three things, all of which could be looked up but it's more fun asking. First, Los Angles, the city, along with other cities, is in Las Angles County which is in California. Are provinces divided into the equivelent of counties? Second, how does a cross lock opening system work, and third are both sides of that blade sharp?

Many and Mark!
The specs check my boxes and made by Hogue ... love a Big heavy cross bar spear point knife. Cons: I don't have one

Thanks Mark... that Kershaw is well suited for most of my daily tasks ... big enough with some belly, but small enough at the same time.

Marco, your knife looks quite formidable. Glad your back and will continue to feel better.

Sweet, M&M!!! I like the blade profile and G-10 is about indestructible too boot! I also like cross-lock open/closing, one of my main EDCs has a cross-lock for open/closing... as do a fair number of my Benchmades.....

OK, M&M We'll keep Area 51 on the D.L. (Not Dogg-Legg, but "The Down-Low") for now, so to speak......

That’s a big ‘un, Mark - and a good looking one, too!

I'll do my best answering your questions, buddy, and to start I can tell you that what you call "counties" we call "communities" which is any area people live in within a city.
It would be difficult to verbalize how the cross-lock system works, so suffice to say check YouTube for the video, I've watched it and it's excellent and self explanatory.
Lastly, this knife has a single-edged blade.
Hope this helps!

I don't know what you mean about Hogue, Tony, this knife comes from CRKT, but thanks for your comments anyway. You would like this knife, A LOT!

Much thanks, Garry, I always appreciate hearing from you with your kind words.

Many thanks, Dog, the c/l system is fun to fidget with. I can honestly say that, that blade profile is my favorite, and G-10 is also a long time favorite.

Thanks a bunch, Tim, you have been posting some very nice models yourself lately.
This CTKT knife I'd designate as my "Mama Bear" knife, not too big, not too little, it's just right.

A Marbles with some Bangers.

Made in China, but it's a pretty nice knife. I don't love the blade redundancy though. Why not just have a coping blade

Thanks for the correction, Tony, I had overlooked that information when I visited their site.
