Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By doubleplusgood: thank you for the feedback, I appreciate it Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By doubleplusgood: Originally Posted By MaxxII: Originally Posted By doubleplusgood: This is a prototype EDC fighter that I'm working on. what do you guys think? It's 9-1/2" oal with a 4" blade compound grind, hollow with a flat tip area https://i.imgur.com/GdiDFsZ.jpg?1 here you can see the compound grind: https://i.imgur.com/zEjsmPP.jpg Handle looks good for gripping, with a protruding end (unless you have Archie Hand's) for reverse strikes/heel strikes. The finger groove up front looks like it protects the hand but allows dexterity for handling and working the grip while moving. The jimping on the back looks good but without being sharp or annoying. Blade shape and length are good. The compound grind is a flex move for you IMO, as it's subtle, but adds to the cost to make, with no benefit that I can see other than aesthetics (which is a good part of the artistry involved in your profession). My only suggestion would be to ditch the compound grind and pass the savings onto the buyer and sell as many as you can. Maybe offer a compound grind as an optional upgrade to reduce the initial cost. Otherwise, looks very good IMO. thank you for the feedback, I appreciate it You're quite welcome. As I dont make knives and have not handled yours, I can only offer an opinion based on the photo. It looks like it would be fun in the hand. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MaxxII: My parents owned a couple of the Datusn 210B's... Dad had a green one 2 door, 2-seater, and sold it off to buy a 2 door, 4-seater once they had my brother and I. His was blue. Mom had a red Datsun 210 wagon that was red. Mom's red wagon got smoked in a traffic accident, and Dad kept the blue 210 for a number of years. It had 310k miles on it when dad sold it for $350. He had changed the oil, and replaced two starters, a single alternator, and the clutch twice, (think he did the brakes 2-3 times can't remember). He sold it when we were stationed in Hawaii and got orders to come back to the mainland in 1990. It would have cost more to ship the car back from Hawaii than it was worth. The car had developed a surface rust pattern on the driver's side door about the size and shape as a manhole cover when dad sold it. I saw the car when I went through Hickam again in 1996 as Marine. It was driving by the MAC Terminal... Those cars didnt handle corrosion from salt, (ocean salt air or midwest salt on winter roads) real well, but they ran like tops and were easy to work on. If they still sold them, I'd buy one happily. My grandpa had a brown one when I was really little, then a light blue one which is the car I learned on. Manual (five speed I think, maybe four). Started out in the passenger seat and he'd have me shift as he drove around town. Out in a county park he'd put me on his lap and have me steer and shift while he ran the pedals. As I got older, then I'd drive with him in the passenger seat, then eventually just drive around the park on my own. I'm guessing this is probably starting around age 10 or so, maybe. He called that car "baby blue" but by the time he replaced it it was three different colors from his rust repairs (still light blue from the roof to the middle of the doors, medium blue there, then dark blue on the rockers). |

Might just be one of those things that some chucklehead on youtube did and then everyone else started doing it too because people are lemmings. I liked the look, action and grind but I kept catching shit on the choil and it drove me nuts. I've never had any issues with the 2nd detent (other than almost losing it the first time I disassembled it). Mine flies out smooth as butter. Same here. Mine feels very smooth on deployment.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MaxxII: IIRC, those are the ARX design and they are supposed to do really well. Light for caliber weights appears to be standard on those, (like 90 gr for 9mm). If they feed reliably in the P365, (due to short barrel length and bullet shape), I'd say go for it. Interesting. May need some in 357Sig |
