On clearance where?  I want one of those, but not paying $150+ for anything SOG.  The fixed blade version looks cool too, but again $150-$250 for SOG is crazy to me.  For $60 I'm in.

Tojiro DP Nakiri should be here soon. Looked at fancier Nakiri options, but the basic Tojiro DP knives we have are functionally perfect.

Picked this up at a local Christmas craft fair.  There was a young man (10-12) there selling his hand forged knives, and after chatting with him for a while I couldn't leave empty handed .  It was good to see a young man banging on steel and learning a skill.  I later found out from another exibhitor that his father had passed and that he was being taught by a smith that had been on Forged in Fire.

Theres nothing wrong with them…just topical arfism..

A judge had ordered firearms destroyed that a police station had in inventory. The police station is right next to benchmade. They asked if they could hire them to cut the guns up. Yes, benchmade let them use the chopsaw for firearms that were going to the dump regardless.
I still buy benchmade. People here are so dumb with boxing themselves in it’s embarrassing, plus ALL the other stuff.

That was just the start. Then came the information that the owners were repeated donors to gun grabbers, followed by a video of Les de Asis basically saying if you don't like it fuck off. So we have.

I love the stuff, I make my own, super easy.

I have a garbage bag full of black denim jeans I bought at a 2nd hand store when they had a sale on for .50 cents to a dollar on them. Going to do a set of AK furniture with it, but boy it's gonna be a lot of work, easy to make the micarta, harder to work it.

I wouldn't be upset if Buck brought the 532 line back into normal production.

Bradley Mayhem about a decade ago when I got back from AFG.  I'd lost a Benchmade 51 while over there that had a dodgy pocketclip... it got caught and mangled on some C130 jumpseat webbing and never had good retention after that.  Must've fallen off sometime while I was doing something.  I was planning on returning it to BM for service when I got back stateside but never got the opportunity.

Yeah, I haven't had to buy a knife in about 10 years. I think I've got a pair of kershaws leeks and a this Bradley, but how many do you really need?  Ironically, Benchmade was is the actual OEM on this Bradley knife model.  The grip and blade shape make it a really good daily-use butterfly knife and it's a decent flipper once you get used to the curved handles.

CPM S30V Blade
Titanium handles and clip
Zen Pin Stops
Spring loaded squeeze latch

Insingo means razor, Inkosi means Chieftain, Chieftains razor. It’s not only razor sharp but I have never seen a knife with this perfect of grind lines.
