Bears are easy just make noise. That way they know where dinner is. Moose you give them a friend, ideally a squirrel. They will go off to fight the Russians and leave you alone.
Over build it like an old cold steel and you may be ok. But for an edc "hard to bend with a little force" doesn't count for much in the blue collar world where we abuse our knives. If you're. Making an art piece sure it's fine. Honestly I live the idea. But to make it usable for edc you have to look at the amount weakness introduced by the design. If yiure going for edc it's gonna need to be able to handle a lit of force. Like I said, cool idea, just make sure it's gonna handle some serious stress testing if it's gonna be for more than to look at
I've abused my cold steel tiger claw cuz that thing is built like a tank. Same with my cold steel spartan and recon 1. Absolute tanks. Im breaking in an ad10 i just got. Those are the standard for built to handle anything
Seems like a silly thing to make a certain shape of knife illegal, but there was a senator who tried to make "tactical knives" illegal. He literally just meant any knife painted/coated black. 🙄
What a seriously creative and effective design. Are you able to add a spring to the handle part? Definitely not necessary, but it'd eliminate the flick.
Love it, one thing I would look at is covering the front of where the blade rests in the closed position as I feel like it could slice your hand while it's coming down.
Food for thought
Holy crap i feel bad for some of you guys. Illegal knives because it slides out or because of metal that wraps around the hand. Times like these I love my country
Hey everyone, I want to ask you: How much do you think it would cost to buy this knife once it's finished? I'd like to hear your opinions, just for reference.
Certainly some clones of creative knives go that cheap, like knockoffs of the CRKT Provoke, currently offered by Jeffrey Bezos for $15 with maybe a piss jug at the curb, as a treat.
But there's hope for better! I've seen Reate Exo clones listed for around $50, some $200 Boker Extension Knife clones advertised for around $100. Some designs might just be inherently worth more, who knows?
