Knives Views

Intro
I somehow got into an in-depth discussion of pocket knives over at another forum (where we usually discuss lasers, not knives). One member posted a short YT video of his Microtech Scarab and boy, was I blown away... . This is not your father's pocket knife...lol. Then comes the next one, posting pics of his MT Lightfoot LCC D/A... omg! So I was thinking I had to get a closer look at this hobby and these "works of technical art". I ran down to a local knife (& cutlery) store and picked up my very first D/A, the Böker Plus V&D Express.

I just got the Stag Kiwi 3 earlier this week and it will be going out on a passaround soon (the sign up is open over at the passing lane forum), and thought I would post a quick review/initial impressions.

I just got the CRKT K.I.S.S. Assist from GPKnives.com. The box is a nice cardboard with the CRKT logo neatly prin... Just kidding. Here's my $0.02...

My initial impression is that it is clean and smooth like other CRKT knives I have had. Fit and finish is what I have come to expect with no burrs or rough edges and the blade has no play in it. Notice that the bottom corner of the blade is not sharpened which I noticed would probably snag or cut my thumb on closing the blade. The matte body coating is exactly like my Snap Lock but the blade is more polished and a little thicker. It is obviously flat on one side to sit flush on the body. 

After much reading over specs and looking at knife reviews on line, I decided to buy a Zero Tolerance 0200 for my heavy duty folder/edc/survival slot in my knife collection. If your looking for a survival folder you can count your life on,..the ZT 0200 is your knife. The knife came sharp but not wicked sharp as I prefer so a couple of strokes on the ceramic rods and the 154cm blade was good to go. 

SO I am on the 10th day of using the Spyderco Street Beat & I really like this knife! I am lucky enough to get to use it courtesy of the KF & spyderco Passaround! The SB came in razor sharp! The VG10 blade held a good edge as I mainly used it for boxes, letters. I did try the blade against some wood sticks in the yard & it didn't do as good as a convexed blade but that's okay, not all knives need to be for woods or survival. No damage was done but I didn't want to try to hard on the passaround knives. I did do some minor kithcen work with this. 

These is more my initial impressions than a review of the new C81GP2 Spyderco Para Military 2 that Rocky National ( http://www.rockynational.com/ ) has been kind enough to provide us for a passaround in the Passing Lane forum.

I’m writing a review of the AKC Large Tactical Leverletto.

Section 1 (as per the suggested format) 

Brand: AKC Automatic Knives Company. AKC is a brand that supposedly makes their knives in Italy, and makes mostly, mid quality range replicas of traditional Italian knives, such as stilettos.

Hey everybody, I've read so much from this website it's time that I give a little bit back.

I recently purchased a Benchmade 943 Osborne folder from LApolicegear. It was really a birthday present, I just got to pick out what I wanted. I think I may have my grandmothers name engraved on it as a reminder of where it came from.I'll steal most of the text and a couple of pictures from my blog. I'm also planning on touching on this knife again after I have carried it for a while.
