I was browsing some knives as a gift for my dad's birthday and Come across a Knife lighter. Idk anything about button lock knives/auto deploying knives I understand it would be illegal to take out anywhere as it locks but is it Ok to own and keep for use in his house? If it is illegal what kind of punishment would it be?

I'm in the uk

Any help would be great Thanks

Oops, I forgot this piece in my collection 😃

Having issues with these knives, but this is the worst one at the moment. They are about a year old. Just ran it through the dishwasher and it came out like this. It did not sit in moisture aside from the wash. I’ve never seen anything this bad after one wash. Considering contacting the company. Am I not supposed to run it in the dishwasher?

I bought a good looking knife in Barcelona some years ago. Anyone who can give some information on the ingraving on the blade?

I know someone who has had there single action microtech halo for 30 years with the original spring. I’m just curious are they all built like that? Or am I gonna have to keep buying new micro techs because they update the models and void the warranty on the old models?

Can I buy additional springs now ahead of time?

Do you have ? I just got one I used to have again today. The 119.

Beer, comics and knives of course are some of mine. Curious about everyone else’s!

Hi all!

Can I have some suggestions for a small (3-4 inches) fixed blade for edc, with a kydex sheat and able to be carried horizontally (scout carry)??

So far I like the Reiff (F3 and F4) and the Bark River Gunny LT (but it has a horrible leather sheat)

What is everyone else carrying today ?

• Kizer Genie
• Civivi Propugnator

Idk why im bothering Im probably gonna end up buying both in the end lol.

I just bought this bad boy last week and I was wondering how long will this etching last on the blade as I really love the details and the design of it and it would be a bummer for it to fade quickly

The North Arm "Mallard" bird and trout that is .06" thickness but it's produced in Canada. Cool that it's magnacut.

Someone recommend Half Face Blades, for their suede lined kydex sheath to better retain the edge while sheathed with s45vn, but they are out of my price range.

So im looking for:

-$100-$200

-USA made

-under .09" thickness

-full tang, 2.5-4" length

-suede/felt lined kydex or leather with ulticlip attachment possibility

So I’ve had a few cheap kershaws, then jumped to a Bugout and some USA/Taiwan Spydercos, then recently picked up a Berg Iron pup, Mini Sweeney, and a Spiro Asher.

Obviously the $40-60 kershaw knives feel much lower quality and the blades are cheaper material compared to any of the others, but my ~$150 taiwan and US spydercos feel identical to me.

The $130 Asher looks and feels next level. From first flick I was in love. My Bergs were picked up on the swap. They are beautiful and the action is butter. My mini sweeney is still my favorite knife but I can’t help but wonder if I would have been as happy with them paying full msrp when sub $150 knives can be this good.

So I’ve been lusting over a Kunwu Compadre, QC drift, or TRM Neutron as my next purchase, but I’m wondering - does it actually get much better than this Asher? What am I hoping to get with my next knife that I don’t get for half that price?

So 2 questions:

What other knives have you picked up where you’ve been shocked by how good they are for sub $200?

When you spend $300+ on a knife what sets them apart from other knives in your collection and makes you feel like the cost is justifiable? Typically I am a pretty frugal guy but it’s been a lot of fun getting into this hobby.

Any recommendations for more Kershaw’s? I’m new to the brand and usually pocket a spyderco. This is kind of my “knife when I forget my knife”. I got my fiancé one as well because the prices were very respectable.
