I was mildly disappointed that I got one that doesn't ting, but I noticed it does a little in really absorbent environments, and more when it closes than when it opens. Got me thinking about how the sound comes from blade reverberation, so maybe a little pivot tension would put more energy into it on deployment. Worked like a charm, I'm in love with this thing all over again!

I keep hearing people talk about adhering to knife laws (3” blade and under, no otfs, no gravity, etc.). I’m confounded on what situation someone would encounter where a cop would stop you, make you do a pocket check, take your knife, and fine or arrest you. I’m 53 and have carried a knife for 4 decades. I’ve traveled with knives. I’ve even been pulled over twice and had to show cops concealed knives that I know didn’t comply with the local laws. These were the only times a cop ever asked me to see my knives/weapons, btw, and I didn’t get into any trouble whatsoever(for the knives at least - I probably got a speeding ticket).

Has anyone here gotten in trouble for carrying a knife that didn’t comply with the local or state knife laws (knife confiscated, fined, arrested, etc.)?

Thanks to this sub for all the wonderful info. My first Esee came in the mail and I see what all the fuss is about. What a nice knife. Perfect for what I need it for and I'll definitely be getting another. The sheath fits nicely in the pocket with the clip adapter. More Esee please.

This is for a large animal/livestock dissection over the lab portion of an anatomy course, so basically a throwaway knife.

My program specific a 5” semiflexible curved blade. This came in a flimsy cardboard sheath that did not protect it or me at all. I tried a 6”x2” guard as recommended by a size chart and the curved tip pops out and attempts to skewer me through the palm no matter which direction I put it on.

I don’t want to spend twice the price of the knife for an actual scabbard/leather sheath that will get super gross anyway. Send help. Something makeshift would be fine too, I just don’t know what to use that would be safe to toss in a backpack or locker.

I’m looking to buy the Helle Utvaer knife as a bushcraft knife that I will have for a long time. I am definitely set on the idea of wood handle and I wondered if anyone had experience with Helle knives or that one in particular?

I saw Strider is not continuing the colab with Protech. Well FOMO kicked in and I went over to White Mountain Knives and picked this one up before I couldn't. I really like the Smokey Grey DLC on the blade.

This knife is a clone of a Strider SNG by the Evil Eyes company, it is in fact an integral knife and is probably my favorite in my collection. I’d say it’s almost custom level.

Hi all,

Have a special request and hope to find the answer here.

Thinking about pulling the trigger on a Quiet Carry Drift or Drift large but am a bit torn between the two sizes.

Does anyone have both by chance and could post a few pics comparing them to a Caly 3.5 (which I own)?

That would be fabulous!

Brian Nadeau Arch Nemesis. This is my favorite knife of my entire collection. I have a few higher dollar pieces but this just hits me different. It's magical to hold and open. I searched pretty far and wide for one and if they ever popped up on the secondary, they were gone quick. I happen to score this bad boy from him and it's become my most favorite to hold. I know daggers have a very niche use, but I love them, and this is one of the ultimate grails for me.

I'm looking to buy either the liner or button lock version of the Civivi Praxis and am wondering if there's any advantage to the liner or button lock. Is one stronger or more ergonomic than the other? Thanks
