Any suggestions? I don't want to buy Chinese anything. Thanks
AND an Auto 112They do. The Buck 110.
Very cool, I had no idea.
severalDoes Buck make an auto?
The Chinese decided to throw their fake buck conversions into the mix as well. The easiest way to quickly tell a fake Buck 110 or 112 from a factory model is the back spring pin. If it is brass move on. On every legitimate 110 or 112 auto the back spring pin is stainless.So many third-party outfits were converting 110s , Buck decided to get their share a few years ago .
I ordered a scallion from him for $25. Steal of the century. ThanksKershawguy.com
Oh, hell yes. Great buy.I ordered a scallion from him for $25. Steal of the century. Thanks
Any recommendations in that vein?Assisted opening is often times a crutch for a crappy action. A nice smooth action on bearings or PB bushings with a decent tuned just right will fly open, and is much easier to close.
usually have to top $100 to get steel that is noticeably better than the basic budget steels everyone uses, $200 can get some really good stuff, especially the ton of "carried once never cut" knives people sell on Facebook knife groups and knife forums. Most of the sub $100 kershaw speedsafe knives have slippery and heavy stainless steel scales, and the weird hard to sharpen recurve edges Ken Onion loved. You can usually get a Spyderco Para 2/3 in S30V or better for just over $100, TONS of different models to choose from. There are a few low end ZTs in that have their excellent KVT bearing setup in that range, 0450s, but sometimes the mid-higher models can be found used for a deal. Benchmade tends to use bushings, but the Axis lock is a wonderful lock that can also be used to take pressure off and deploy a blade. Now that the patent has expired some other companies, mainly Hogue use the lock. The Ritter knives can be found around $150-ish and the Deka is cheaper than that. They have massive upgrades in design and materials. Some Hogue models use the newest supersteel Magnacut in very reasonably priced knives.Any recommendations in that vein?
I don't think I know any man who hasn't carried one of those Kershaws at some point in their lives.
*****Come here to MoCo. Tons of "Men" have never carried a Kershaw, but know how to accessorize an outfit properly as well as use safety scissors to make Origami and also to arrange a proper flower centerpiece for a Fondue party with their friends.
If they shoot guns, we all know what caliber pistol they are shooting and have holstered in their prison pockets..
