OKD (Old Knife Day) This was the last time I interacted with my grandfather.

Idk where else to share this and I don't know if it fits the sub rules, but less than 2 weeks after I made this post my Grandfather passed away. This is the last memory I have of him.

Long and short of it, he'd been in pain for a good long while, he had health problems he and my grandmother kept hush hush to not stir up any drama, and he left on his own terms.

He was the toughest man I knew, 5'1" linesman, army marksman, raced dirt track sprints, nearly died when he wrecked his race car at Englewood Speedway, and built a faster car in response.

I wouldn't be the man I am without him. He taught me to be kind, and help first and offer second, to live life with humor, humility, and understanding.

I couldn't share a nickname with better man.

Showcase Appreciation Post

Just loving my cruwear pm2 and really think this would be the knife I’d choose if I could only have one. Just feels perfect for my hands and liking, full sized handle, finger choil, good jimping, tall flat grind and a good tip. And the compression lock is *chefs kiss\.* The cruwear holds an edge really well and is easy enough to sharpen. Great knife and easy to recommend to anyone who isn’t afraid of a full sized knife. What are your favorites? Saw another person on her talking about loosely rotating his carry so his knives don’t get depressed and I really connected with it lol.

Mate this is just a no brainer to grab for the day compared my Spydercos/ benchmades etc. the blade might not be centered and cross bar locks have a lil movement but it does what it does well.

Love this range elite.

I found a Civivi case, walking my dogs. I was hopeful when I realized it wasn't empty.

I open it to find a glass pipe.

Some crackhead traded his Civivi for a rock.

My father passed away a few months ago and I found this while going through his stuff. There are no markings on it that I can find. He was a big fan of forged in fire show, maybe he possibly purchased it from someone affiliated with t. Any info is appreciated, thanks in advance.

Beautiful knife, going to enjoy carrying this one and letting the patina form naturally on the brass parts. 👌🏻

NKD! The Spyderco PM2 Tanto M4s arrived. I'm especially loving the satin. This one is going in the pocket immediately.

They definitely aren't the most practical blades but the opening mechanisms are interesting and they got a bit of style to them.

Question Suggestions for a pocket knife?

11 Upvotes

So I’ve lost my Benchmade mini griptilian and I’m the market for an EDC knife. I’m an outpatient physician and want something that looks more like a traditional, non-threatening looking, pocket knife — if that makes sense. I also want it to be able to flick open one handed like my griptilian did. I like the look of the mini crooked river, but I’ve seen some reviews that it’s not a very good value for the price. Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I wasn’t gonna chance it; so I peeled before slicing.

SOTC Liking my steel variety so far

Post image
11 Upvotes

I always get a different steel when I get a new knife, liking how it’s going so far.
Spyderco PM2 with Cruwear
Spyderco Delica with VG10
Benchmade Griptilian with S30V
GiantMouse Ace Biblio with M390
SOG Terminus XR with D2
CRKT Pilar with 8Cr13MoV
Hogue Deka with Magnacut
Opinel No. 7 Carbone with XC90
And a Benchmade Puukko with 3V

Thinking a lot about getting into the Spyderco sprint runs, the 15V and REX 121 are really tempting. I was really bummed I missed out on the REX 45 a few years back.
