      MSG3: Meeting Regularly Now

      I have an internship commitment at 18:30 Wednesday, otherwise I'd join y'all.

      I am torn on which blade to get

      If you're buying I won't turn down a free one, or giving you a common coin for one. ;-)

      I am torn on which blade to get

      I wouldn't get dead set on anything until you see Brad. I thought I wanted a ZT - Hinderer collaboration, but I waited until I went to Blade last year (I was still living in GA at the time) and handled tons of knives. I ended up buying the ZT0801 Rexford collaboration, and I'm still happy with...

      Is Surefire out of touch?

      I've now been carrying a FourSevens Quark Tactical QTL on my keyring everyday for a year. A little less than midway through that time (June 2014) it was switched to a AA body, but the switch, and the LED, lens, and driver are the same. So far it's holding up as well as the Surefire E1e...

      Mimi Barrage or Mini Stryker...

      Right in the middle of the two price wise is the Mini RSK Mk1 - Doug Ritter Mini RSK MK1 Stone Washed M390 Blade (Knifeworks Exclusive) - with similar dimensions and an even better M390 blade. I'd get that or the 903 (spear point mini) Styker over the Barrage.

      Is Surefire out of touch?

      Surefire makes some extremely rugged lights. But so do Malkoff, and ElZetta here in the USA. ArmyTEK of Canada makes equal quality lights to Surefire, IMO, and their circuitry can use 2xCR123 or a single 65-70mm length 4.2V rechargeable equally well. However, the light you're asking about has...

      Offerings comparable to the Strider PT CC?

      That's one guy, doing non scientific testing on single samples. It's about as reliable as a Cold Steel hype video. I've spoken to the manufacturers at Blade. When they put several examples of each knife on destructive testing equipment that actually measures lock strength the Axis lock comes out...

      Offerings comparable to the Strider PT CC?

      It's actually more of a large depression in the blade. It's functionally the same as the hole Strider uses. Your worries are unfounded. The Axis lock is far stronger than any frame lock, and those solid carbon fiber slabs surrounding the lock's steel subframe are incredibly strong. The S90V...

      Offerings comparable to the Strider PT CC?

      I've also owned Emersons and I wasn't impressed with them either. Liner locks are some of the weakest lock mechanisms out there. Frame locks are significantly stronger. Chris Reeve invented the frame lock, and his company has dominated the knife industry in quality. He was also one of the...

      Offerings comparable to the Strider PT CC?

      Phylo, do you want a frame lock or are you open to other lock types? How much larger or smaller can the knife be and still be similar enough for you? Are you open to something prettier since this sounds (err reads) like it might be more of a gentleman's knife? Are you okay with removing a pocket...

      MSG3: Meeting Regularly Now

      Worst service and worst management response I've ever had in my life. That kinda hooey.

      Kershaw antique store find? (pics)

      Actually it's not. The amount of chromium in the alloy that determines if a steel is stainless, not the carbon content. Bohler M390 and Uddeholm Elmax both have more carbon than AISI M4 / CPM M4. CPM S110V and S125V both have more carbon CPM 10V (itself a PM version of AISI A11).

      Rechargeable small batteries

      Here are a few quick things on batteries and chargers: Rechargeable lithium batteries (like RCR123) come in three chemistries. These are Lithium Cobalt (abbreviated IC or LiCo), Lithium Manganese (abbreviated IMR or LiMN), and Lithium Iron Phosphate (abbreviated LFP or LiFePo). IC and IMR...

      Most versatile handgun I know of

      The 10mm and .45 ACP Glocks can be converted to each other's caliber, 9x25 Dillon, .38 Super, .400 Corbon, .40 Super, .357 SIG, .40 S&W, and 9x19. That's just with Lone Wolf bbls. There's also .50 GI and .460 Rowland from their respective manufacturers. A ramped bbl cut frame 1911 can handle...
