How the fuck do you have so many CS knives but no Espada?

>>30400424
Is the Espada good? Do I want the large or xl?
Why do some guys consider it the meme knife? Cuz it's size?
>>30400713
Large is honestly the best size in terms of balance and carry. What exactly is "meme" about the Espada
>>30400713
You want the XL for sure.
>>30399873
Love it. Slim, cheap, easily sharpened and a classic.
>>30400713
The Large is best in terms of size and balance. The XL is the meme because of how ridiculously large it is. It's a fairly large well built folder and it looks badass. People like to shitpost with the XL.
Does anyone have any auto knife recommendations? (otf or ots)

Is this your own bird or just a random pic?
Also I need auto knife recommendations too
>>30401353
random pic. I was looking into either the new microtech or something made by piranha.
>>30401486
I've never owned a microtech but I've heard almost nothing but bad rep about them, mostly quality control and shit. Never heard of piranha, I just want an automatic knife that's good quality and won't break the bank.
>glares at Benchmade
Also the reason I asked about the bird is because I have 2 birds, was wondering if a fellow /k/ommando had an avian battle-buddy

Can anyone tell me about the Cold Steel Tuff Lite? I realize it is only 25-35 Burgerbucks but this will be my first Cold Steel product and I don't want to be put off the brand if it is trash.
>>30402073
>Cold Steel product and I don't want to be put off the brand if it is trash.
Prepare to be confused since Cold Steel offers a mix of trash and good quality products.
Knives up to around $150:
Decent to good
Knives greater than $150
Wildly overpriced
Swords:
Durable, at the cost of being terribly balanced and heavy and just way off from historical proportions. Only worth it for a few select models or if you get them on sale
Everything else they make:
depends on the product but most of them are just gimmicky and not great
>>30402073
I've heard nothing but good things about it but it's definitely not my thing
Now something like the broken skull though
>>30402333
I'm with this guy. They're pretty hit and miss. I've got a CS shovel and I love it, and their push knives are nice. I decided /k/ was full of shit with all the CS hate, so I bought one of their sanmai III kukri knives. ran me $400 and it's a mediocre blade that chips easily and wasn't even correctly polished.
I would not buy anything from CS that was more than 100-150
>>30401576
They also sell a "titan" which looks even more like a microtech knockoff . Glass breaker included
>940<
>>30403731
All of the functionality of a micro tech but with none of the cocksucking faggotry
I like it
>>30401576
I have a lightning and it is just a novelty. The blade is so flimsy in the track, and the locking mechanism won't always lock open.
If you just want a neat toy, go for it. If you actually want a knife, invest in a better otf
>>30404261
is it strong enough to stab a guy? I'm not looking to hammer it through wood, split logs or pry open car doors.
I just want an affordable OTF that I can cut basic shit with, and slam into some assholes throat if I can't get to my gun.
>>30404766
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UHrdlUEhk7I
Probably ? He hits it pretty hard for a while before the lock fails.
Hit something nice and fleshy and I don't think the lock would fail, hit any bone with some force though and you stand a chance of losing your knife.
>>30404766
I won't trust the lightning to do more than open packages. I carry a fixed blade for that sort of thing.

What? The only ZT hate I've seen on these threads is the occasional shitposter. It seems like they're usually well-accepted.
>>30405301
I've heard that people got good results sharpening their 0350's with a Spyderco Sharpmaker. I don't own any recurve blades though, so don't take my input as fact
>>30405314
Loving mine, had a Knockout seized by customs too, might have to get used to it being my only assisted knife.

Have somebody cut your head off after you slit your belly as was traditional and to not prolong your suffering. Then leave a secret note to frame the head cutter so your family can sue him for damages.
Have your will state "all according to keikaku".

I'd say it's more than strong enough to stab a guy. I've stabbed logs and shit with it before. Go on youtube and there's a vid of a guy beating the shit out of it with a hammer till the locking mechanism finally breaks.
I'd say the lightning is a great deal for the price, considering everything else is like 200 fucking dollars.

I love the black blades on the 940. I don't treat myself to knives often but I am going to buy myself one for a celebration of being able to walk again (i had a tib/fib spiral fracture). I cannot wait! Has he used it much yet?

>>30405773
Thanks for the suggestion anons
>baby knife being born
>shhh!
>>30405880
I have a carbon fiber one and it's actually one of the knives I carry most. Lots of cutting edge in a very sleek and light package. Apparently early ones had a problem with the flipper being too small but they fixed that because mine flips like a mother fucker.
It does have two flaws, though. The pocket clip is kinda flimsy. And on mine, the blade actually rubs on the liner the tiniest bit. It's centered and functions perfectly fine, none the less.
I'm looking into buying the titanium version as well, which looks like it has a better clip for some reason.
Not sure why anyone would shell out big bucks for a knife.
I bought a Gerber knife at REI and it was only $40 and that thing is sturdy as fuck
>>30405983

Steel wool will scratch it, scour pad might a little too, wd40 is fine, just don't put it on right before using it for food etc

Alright, getting post related, any good self defense tips/vids/techniques? Am gril, carry pepper spray already, I bike/walk home late at night from work to Uni. Knife is obviously a last ditch weapon, but I want to be prepared.
>>30410205
If what you were looking for was a shank you should've said so in the first post. There are better knives for that.
Go here: http://www.knifeup.com/knife-laws/
Post your state so people can make sure their recommendations suit state law. Be aware that your city or school may have extra laws, but the authorities generally don't care about those unless you're doing something stupid.
See if your school has any form of self defense classes. Nobody can teach you jack shit on the internet, you need exercise and muscle memory.
>>30410367
State is Virginia
Tl;dr seen site before basically all knives are legal, just some not legal concealed. No limits on blade length or anything.
City doesn’t have any specific laws that I can find.
School is stupid and bans everything, the only thing they allow is pepper spray, not even a stun gun or brass knuckles. You aren't allowed to keep a knife in your dorm even if you need it for a class. Regardless I'd rather not get raped/killed than avoid pissing off school. I do know plenty of people who break these rules on a daily basis though.
Luckily commute isn't on campus except for the last few minutes though.
>>30410442
>I do know plenty of people who break these rules on a daily basis though.
Like I said, the authorities don't really care unless they catch you doing something stupid. If you're minding your own business then nobody gives a damn, my pocket knife was too large for the school I attended and is (was, rather) illegal in all of San Antonio but I never got shit about it.
>>30409807
Bottom one is the Benchmade 14460. After having many knives over the years it is my absolute favorite. Carry not an issue in the UK, police have blacker fish to fry.
>>30409937
I think I'm going to have to order one.
>>30411481
Fair enough. Been thinking of picking up a folding knife for just general use but worried the po po will think my deadly 3.5 inch knife will bring down the government.
>>30411603
Not hi. I would play it safe and buy a sak instead. You can do any edc task with a sak and the police won't nick you for having it on you. It's better to be safe than sorry
How good are Schrade OTF knives?
>>30412058
I handled a couple at an army surplus store shortly after they were legalized here and I was not impressed. I walked in planning on buying an otf and walked out with nothing. But that's just like, my opinion. They all seemed pretty likely to would open in your pocket
>>30410205
>>30410442
I'd recommend getting a good flashlight. They're legal everywhere. Unless you get the ultra tacticool skull crusher dna collector model, you shouldn't run into any trouble.
In addition to just being handy to have, a super bright light shining into an attacker's night-adjusted eyes will buy you a second or two.
Carry your self-defense implements somewhere easily accessible. If it's in your purse or your keychain and you have to fumble around to get it, you're going to have a bad time. It's preferable to just walk around with it already in your hand to save you that whole step. You obviously can't walk around with a knife in your hand, but it makes sense if you've got a flashlight at night.
>>30410367
>See if your school has any form of self defense classes. Nobody can teach you jack shit on the internet, you need exercise and muscle memory.
This is important. You're probably going to need a few PE classes anyways so you might as well kill to birds with one stone.
I'd recommend taking something like judo or boxing over a women's self-defense class, since many women's self-defense classes unfortunately lean towards feel-good self confidence stuff instead of seriously preparing you. At least with the other classes, you'll deal with some resistance.
At my school at least, you could call campus security and have them escort you to your car. Going from work to uni, that option won't be available, but if you're going to your bike or your dorm or whatever, it's good to have backup. See if your school lets you do that.

I bought one of those £5 sanrenmu 710 frame locking knives to try something other than my victorinox because the tiny one on my keychain does everything except have a decent large knife and the larger victorinox I have's knife is only okay.
Anyway the lock is illegal but I'm thinking of removing it in some fashion - has that been done before that anyone knows of?

What handle is that on the Grip?
>>30409681
>>30409532
Yesterday I used a heavy duty scour pad + WD40 on a badly rusted garden tool and it worked really good, it had minimal scratching. I saw that the endura was made from VG10, but I think it's still softer than most tool steels. You can always try a kitchen sponge and work your way up. Soaking it in distilled vinegar works too but don't let it stay in too much.
>>30409532
Look up "Post-Apocalyptic Inventor" on YouTube, find the rust removal experiments videos. I'm sure the anti-rust cream is better for the knife than >>30409582 >>30409737 >>30417116 these suggestions.
>>30407290
It's just yawning. Why do people anthropomorphise animals so much?
>>30415429
Why not just buy an opinel and remove the locking ring and attach a thumb stud ? Or a sodbuster or something. Useable length blade, good steel, and it's a slipjoint
And you could always trim the locking mechanism on the sanrenmu so it doesn't engage, but I feel like it wouldn't stay open well enough to be usable. Or you could modify the shape of the top of it so that it is just as long but a different shape that would cause it to fail with moderate pressure like a slipjoont.
>>30412560
>>30414405
Not sure who this asshole is, but they're not the person who you were actually talking to.
Flashlight is definitely a good idea, I'll get on that, I already walk around with my hand on my pepper spray and thumb on the button.

I got this in the mail today and it looks and feels great!
I've allways liked the looks of the 940 but was really put off by the handle so I was really happy to see a G10 version.
I'm also waiting for some custom scales for my mini grip so we'll see if this 940-2 will take it's place in my pocket or not.
>>30405880
i have the titanium one. it's an awesome knife, stays sharp, light as fuck, and opens so smooth.
BUT
the pocket clip is flimsy as fuck and i've cut myself twice because it opens in my pocket. the tolerances are so tight that the tip of the blade gets caught on stuff and opens.
i love the knife but i have to figure out a solution to it opening in my pocket before i carry it anymore.

For regular old folders, go with Knife King Baby Blue (pic related).
But if you want something truly beautiful yet functional and fun, look into high end balisongs. Benchmade 42A, FlyTanium 51's, HOM Specter EVO or Basilisk-R. If you really want you could get the "lol $600 supa custom made to order" GDOK EX10/EX11, but good luck with that. All great looking knives, some harder to find than others. You can always get the titanium ones anodized to your liking. Or get a Replicant and have someone mod it, the black handles are awesome. Yes yes, memesongs. They're fun to play with and some look real pretty
>>30422426
Forgot to mention my personal favorite, the HOM Tempest (pic related), most beautiful bali ever. But those run $1,000+ and are harder to find than EX10's.

>>30423902
So do they make anything that's not cheap chink shit? I understand the decline of a company's quality (looking at you gerber), but besides ebay, how exactly do you find a used or old knife from a now shit company?
>>30423951
Just look for their old designs. The new Camillus isn't actually Camillus, they just have the name and AFAIK they don't make many (if any) of the same designs.
Here are my hot meme-knives.
>>30423951
Honestly I find eBay the easiest way to find vintage out of production knives. Etsy has some too, but eBay turns up the most consistent results if you know the model and or name of the knife you want.

I really like mine. Even though I got it for stupid cheap, knowing what I do now, I probably would have paid the full price if this one hadn't turned up for sale.

Alright guys, Mini Griptilian, Mini Barrage, or 940 Osborne?
>>30425764
dont mini shit. 4 inches or greater.
>>30425752
It does look nice, and it would be perfectly functional for all cutting / slicing with the nice belly.
The tip angle on clip points/ curving knives is extremely brittle, and so it isn't good for heavy duty tasks, can roll if dropped on the point and will snap if attempting to pry (which isn't really achievable with a curved blade anyway)
But they are great for everything else, but if ever used as a stop-gap for survival, take great care.
It looks pretty as far as knives go.
>>30425958
Yeah I wouldn't use it for prying or anything like that, I just have it for gutting and skinning. It kind of sucks when I have to use it for anything else because I don't want to dull it and I am really not sure how to sharpen.
I can always send it back to sharpen

Late reply but:
Yes he has used it extensively and he loves it. This is his upgrade from a mini-grip tanto. He loved the mini-grip but didn't like the tanto blade shape. He uses it on and off all day at work and he's very impressed with how well the edge is holding. Only thing that bugs him is that the finish on the anodized aluminum scales are scuffing, but with how he uses his knives it's inevitable.
Congrats on the recovery.

Just pay the extra 3 dollars or so to get a Byrd Meadowlark 2.
You pay chink prices but also get American design and quality control while supporting the actual maker. There's also no mystery over whether it'll work or if it just looks like it'll work.

Thanks anon, I didn't see the meadowlark 2 for below $30-25.
How's the shipping speed on Knifeworks?

I know Kai owns ZT and kershaw, but are they regarded as higher quality than ZT?
>>30426490
ZT is the good shit. Kershaw is budget and mostly chinese.
>>30426505
i meant kai, not kershaw.
>>30426338
It's been awhile since I last ordered from them, but I don't remember it being good or bad, just average.
Knifecenter and BladeHQ are selling it for the same price (assuming you're looking at the FRN version) if you prefer one of those retailers.
>>30426529
KAI makes Shun, kershaw, ZT and kai housewares, its the brand behind the brands.
>>30426597
yeah i knew they made kershaw and zt but i was confused because >>30426422 only has kai on it and no ZT mark
>>30426532
What the fuck is the point of these? I see some variation of this at every hardware store but don't get why

If you actually worked a job where you frequently opened things with a bladed object you would know. They're incredibly useful, moreso than most knives I'd say. The blades are disposable and super fucking cheap so once it gets dull on both ends you throw away the blade and replace it. Plus the short blade length means you can drag it across the cutting surface without fear of damaging whatever is inside what you're cutting, which you couldn't do with a long ass knife. I like cool knives too but face it, you only use yours to open hot pockets and trim your fingernails, you could probably get by just as fine with a blade 2" shorter than what you have. By insulting the box cutter you reveal your inexperience.
>>30426790
>By insulting the box cutter you reveal your inexperience.
Oh the fucking irony
If I wanted to carry a giant ass hunk of shit at that size I may as well carry an actual fucking knife. Which can do just as much shit and more than some shitty disposable blade while also justifying the amount of pocket space it takes up.
>>30426790
>>30405983
moron
>>30426827
Not gonna lie, I work in construction and I use these because I have to use it so often and I am frequently cutting against concrete and gravel and things that would fuck a blade up.
I would rather a disposable blade then trashing the blade on a nice knife.
anyone else have this knife ? its under rated tbqh
>>30426852
The folding liner lock and back lock ones are beyond me though. I did the tiling and hardwood flooring in my house as well as most of the other work I've put into it and friend's places. I did it all with a Delica and one of these. Not one of those faggot ass bricks
>>30426901
Oh yeah, I didn't mean the uber tactical ones, I just have a tiny one with a quick release to change blades.
>>30426827
>>pocket space
>thinking people carry box cutters with them every day in their pocket 24/7
Desk job detected.
Box cutters don't ride around in your pocket like your $250 piece of man jewelry.
Not to mention there is a multitude of options for much smaller box cutters that take the same disposable blades.
>>30426790
You sound like one of those kids that takes an intro to psych class and then starts psychoanalyzing everyone and everything they meet
>>30426881
it is not underrated, it is recognized as the least shit gerber fixed blade there is
>>30426944
>angry blue collarfag triggered that his folding faggot cutter got called what it rightfully is and is now backpedalling to include other box cutters than the one he posted
Naw fuck your glamorized tacticool box cutter. Had you actually completed your high school education you might've realized I was talking about the folding faggot ones
>>30426995
>folding faggot cutter
please make the next /ktg/ the folding faggot cutter edition
>>30426944
Literally what is the point of those being folders, having locks and clips and everything other proper knives have to just dump away in some toolbox? Admit that you're just the kind of tryhard tacticool moron that this shit's marketed to
>>30427016

>>30426849
This nigger pretty much nailed this whole exchange going on. Just like pottery
>>30426995
>Had you actually completed your highschool education you might have read my mind a little better
There is hardly any such thing as a "tacticool" box cutter, most of them are made far bigger than necessary but I believe that's largely so that uncoordinated people don't slip on their grip and cut themselves and cause a workers comp/lawsuit/OSHA headache for the company that provided the box cutter that the employee was using.
I carry pic related when I'm not working. At work I just use the box cutters they provide which are usually the ones with the blade that slides out the front.
>>30427031
You probably own some $100+ knife that fits the tacticool bill much better than any given box cutter, which are pretty much made exclusively for men who actually work and will use their knives for more than opening their newest anime DVDs.
>>30427079

Bright blue and satin stainless is tacticool now? Awesome!
Care to post any pictures of some actually "tacticool" box cutters? Certainly not this one >>30426532 which is bright yellow and has a bunch of safety features all over it.
Is "tacticool" the new buzzword for "I don't like it"? Similar to "fudd"?
>>30427188
Depends if you're in the Chink military or not I guess.
>>30427188
Unnecessary safety features are pretty tacticool desu
It's funny you say it's for "REAL MEN™" but in reality it's pointless for it fold and pointless to have all those extra "safety features". Just fucking slide the blade back into the grip like with any other box cutter and you'll be good. But it sounds to me like you can't even use such a simple tool
Also
>hurr u don't carry a box cutter on you all the time
>i carry this tacticool box cutter all the time
Are you an aspie to boot?
>>30427188
literally the moron that video was talking about. And here I thought people couldn't be this stupid. Especially if they "work" "for a living"
>>30402073
I had one, think I got it for $22 on Amazon. Came very sharp like most of what CS makes. Used it as a work knife cutting everything from rope to drywall (which dulls blades fast), still kept a good usable edge throughout abuse.
I did end up chipping the very tip, closest to the edge of the blade (the thinnest point) but was able to use a whetstone to get it back to something that I thought was acceptable.
It is good for the price and was perfect for the size regulations I had working on a military base. I did end up not using it anymore and ended up replacing it with a fold-able, replaceable blade box cutter.
I'm a huge fan of the newer CS Finn Wolf. One of my favorite knives that I carry with me all the time.
>>30427188
>does the box cutter fold?
>yes
>it's tacticool
Literally no reason for it to do so
>>30427250
what is up with sog? i have that exact same knife and its assisted opening is fine but i finger fucked an aegis the other day because it was on sale and it was the cheapest feeling, worst deploying assisted knife ive ever touched
>>30427271
He probably carries his extra blades on a special safety blade holster that's painted yellow with orange arrows pointing down so you know not to put the cutting edge on the top
Probably kobalt or makita brand
>>30427250
>the gerber EAB is tacticool now
It's official, the meaning of the word tacticool has been completely ground into dust. And when I said people don't carry around box cutters all the time, I was referring to the ones you were bitching about. Nobody carries the big ones in their pocket all the time, they leave them in a belt pocket or scattered around the shop floor.
>>30427271
>if something folds, it is tacticool
Almost every knife posted in this thread is tacticool by that definition.
>>30427307
nah its a dewalt. wheres that faggot who was going on and on about his tactical dewalt knife from home depot
>>30427307
I have my own spares on my dresser at home and if I need some for work they are in a drawer.
I'm not proud of being blue collar and I don't look down on people with desk jobs, but people with desk jobs should not critique the tools that they don't use on the job, while singing the praises of their $200 piece of man jewelry that they use to cut something maybe once every other day.
>>30427310
You're a special kind of retard aren't you? Don't you have tits to put on a hog?
Just picked up a Buck Rosewood Reaper because it was cheap and didn't have access to my other knifes. Seems to be a decent knife though.
Anyone else have experience with it?
>>30427353
>skinned hog and deer
>carved a spoon while /out/
>cut carpet
>opened several concrete bags
>took it on deployment
>hasn't failed me once
Sorry you can't afford a nice knife you underaged faggot.
>>30427306
I know exactly what you mean. They've become utterly shit tier now. I wanted one of these as a beater knife but even that seems kinda iffy
Anybody else have a griptilian 551-1? I fucking love mine, the only gripe is that the cmp-20cv is a bitch to resharp
>>30427359
Don't you have a bridge to buy, and a $250 knife to sharpen? It probably got really dull yesterday when you were using it to scrape the cum off your wall so your mom wouldn't see.
>>30427353
Oh. So people with desk jobs don't know anything about tools, generally? You really are a fucking moron. You realize tool usage extends beyond your occupation, right. I have a desk job yet I used tools this weekend to install a new water heater in my elderly neighbor's home. I do handyman work every weekend.
>>30427310
Gerber is one of the most tacticool brands out there. Just fuck off already. Why are you even here bitching like a whiney cunt because nobody likes your tacticool trash when this is very clearly a thread for knives, and knives will be posted.
Christ, I'm starting to think maybe trigger warnings aren't a bad idea if it means avoiding hellbent redneck faggots like you from crying about everything
>>30427429
WHEN WILL THEY LEARN
>>30427441
That's all it is. They're pissed because people can afford to pay 250$ for a knife and they can't. Or, they could, but then they couldn't afford the rent on their section 8.
>>30427432
>I used tools this weekend
Wow good job! You get a sticker! I'm gonna print your post out and stick it on the fridge I'm so proud of you.
Think to yourself, how often do you actually use your expensive knife? You can lie to me, but in your heart you know that you had to lie because the honest answer would have embarassed you.
>>30427441
My collection of Case folders alone is $1000+. However I do not use them for work because they are not as optimal as a simple box cutter.
Have fun with your money spending, dick measuring contest though
mods are asleep post meme knives
>>30427506

>"hurr hurr just dick measuring contest"
How can you even post here with all those dicks you've got shoved in yourself?
>>30427506
Nigga, do you even read? I never said shit about the knives I own/use and my point just went way over your head. I can reiterate if you would like: people use tools outside of their occupation. There, it's as simple as that. You claimed that if you don't use tools in your daily profession, then you don't have the right(lel) to critique said tools. You're just stumbling all over yourself now.
