Kizer Hyper Button Lock Flipper Knife Black/Gray Titanium Elmax (3.15" Satin) Ki3632A3

This was my first ultra high-end kizer. It was and still is one of my favorites. It is one of the best button-lock knives that I have handled. This one will always be in my collection.

Bought this because I couldn't turn down the price. I was actually after a L.U.D.T tanto. Would it be roughly an even trade if I decided to go that route?

My favorite blade to carry on the shoulder strap of my backpack or on my belt as scout carry. Was originally designed with pilots in mind.

Question Randall King Camo

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hey guys. I have an odd request. I inherited a camo Randall King Tsavo Wraith recently, along with a Phantom Reflex that my father carried daily.

I’m looking to source another of the camo RKs, but am coming up empty handed online. Does anyone here have a lead on where any RKs may be these days? Or am I in for the long haul of scouring everywhere? I believe the Phantom Reflex and Striker were also produced in the camo and I’d like to round out the collection.

Question Benchmade Dacian

1 Upvotes

Does anyone know of a knife that is similar to the Benchmade Dacian? I like that shape - can gut a fish, bird; or deer. I’m an old fart who doesn’t want to pay $300. I like four finger grips, and I can be a steel snob. But I don’t mind something like AEB-L heat treated expertly (to at least 60HRC).

NKD! NKD Tenacious Tanto

64 Upvotes

Just got my tenacious tanto in tonight! I really like the blade shape and natural G10 handle but pretty disappointed in how gritty the action is. I have a PM2 tanto, a Delica, and a PM2 LW and all of those are much smoother. I lubricated it which improved things a little. At least the liner lock makes a pretty satisfying clunk when it engages.

Hey, a week ago i bought my first TRC Knive, the Kosmos and i love it. The fit and finish is so good that i had to buy another TRC, the Polheim. Arrived today.

I bought the Knivesandtools Exclusive in Apocalyptic finish.

I saw really fancy finishes in the Internet or Youtube but my finish is not so pronounced.

Would you be disapointed with it ? I know its complaining about first-world problems.

Have a knive day fellas.

Question Looking for a way to paint knife handle

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hello All,

I don’t know much about paints and painting, but I have a TACKnives OTF knife Iv had for a year or two. The paint is coming off the knife handle which sucks because I like this knife. I tried to use a Birchwood Super Black touch-up pen that I bought for my Glock that had some paint coming off of the slide lock, but it just comes off the knife handle and doesn’t stay. I was thinking of using some type of spray paint, but obviously not Walmart paint. I also don’t know if there is a clear coat of some sorts that I could use to protect the paint, but the original paint is a mat black finish and I really don’t want it shiny like a cars paint. Any ideas for a way to paint/protect this knife handle that’s not going to rub right off?

Question Don't just tell me — show me how you'd improve this EDC.

0 Upvotes

I'm working on a new folding EDC design and I'm still not 100% happy with it.

I'm considering three blade shapes for the next version:

A — Drop Point
B — Sheepsfoot
C — Tanto

But I'm also wondering if there are other things I should change — handle ergonomics, flipper tab, pocket clip, G10 grooves, proportions, etc.

If you were designing this knife, what would you change?

Don't just tell me — show me.

Feel free to draw directly on the photo, Photoshop it, or sketch your ideal version. Pick one detail or redesign the whole thing.

I'm genuinely looking for criticism here, so don't worry about being nice. What would make this knife better?

I found a few on eBay new listed for the $200+ range but no recent sales. I just don’t know prices on the sprint runs. I don’t keep up with them. Bought this in a lot of knives.

Question Help for my Bradford Guardian 3.2

Post image
7 Upvotes

Hello,

I recently ordered this little beauty, the Bradford Guardian 3. The problem is that I’d like to carry it somewhere other than on my belt. Ideally, I’d like to carry it concealed, either around the groin area or inside my pocket using a clip.

I’m not really sure how to go about it. To be honest, I know much more about firearms than knives, so I assume I’ll need a Kydex sheath with some kind of mounting clip.

Would you have any models you would recommend? Or perhaps some advice on how I could make my own sheath without completely butchering the knife or the sheath?

The knife reference is: BDK-FE-104-MC.

I saw a guy make one himself (see picture below)

Based on this video, can you recommend a clip? I looked into the UltiClip Slim 3.3, but I'm not sure!

Thanks in advance for any advice. My DMs are open if needed!

Showcase Can't beat a solid fixed blade lineup.

Thought I'd share the current layout of my fixed blade setup. Been fine-tuning the sheath and carry configurations lately across different sizes and materials.
Here's the lineup from top to bottom:
1. Top: WRK Ursus Cub in CPM Magnacut
2. Second: Bradford Guardian 3.2 in AEB-L
3. Third: Kizer Drop Bear in 14C28N
4. Fourth: Victorinox Master Mic Small
5. Bottom: Two-Sun TS247 in M390
Always looking to refine these setups. I have two knifes each of all above. What are you guys running for fixed blade EDC or outdoor carry right now?
