      Been wanting to pick up one of the minis to try out for awhile now might have to place an order... Also now that your looking into cheap/affordable knives what do you think of the Le Duck fixed blade? Or are you just not a fan of fixed blades in general?

      Wranglerstar as a sailing instructor, I carry a leatherman wingman with some fishing twine around some of the holes, and that is then attached to an emergency release old lanyard clip, so it doesn't fall in the water when on the boat, but if some one is in trouble it's easily accessible.

    I've been collecting and using knives since I was a kid. Have recently acquired an Opinel, and have been using a Mora for my camp knife for a few years. This is next on my list of inexpensive quality knives. I'm not sure how Sweden, France, and New Zealand manage to make such good stuff at an affordable price, even after being imported, but I wish that American manufacturers would figure it out. I can't find a Chinese-made Kershaw branded knife for less than 30 bucks, much less 12 to 15. I'm an artist, craftsman, and outdoorsman, and I actually use my knives on a daily basis. I'm not taking a $100 knife on a kayak trip only to give it away to the fishes.

    • @TheOfficialCaseMade
      @TheOfficialCaseMade 2 роки тому +2

      I fell down the rabbit hole; I started looking at Ganzo, for a cheap, high quality pocket folder, ended up picking up a Mora and falling in love with it. I wanted a folding Mora, turns out the French have me covered. Now I'm looking at Opinel, MAM, Svord, even a Victorinox to round out the group.

    Cody, so glad you found your favorite pocket knife. I can relate, I am a spyderco fan personally, and for a time, I had misplaced my original endura 4, with VG10 blade. Even though I have since upgraded to a "super steel" zdp189 version for EDC, misplacing my original was painful. Luckily, as with you, I eventually found it... or more to the point, went back to my remote cottage where I suspected I had left it. I would like to offer a personal opinion if you don't mind... I know the last time you lost your benchmade, you went through numerous knives, trying to find a suitable replacement. In the end, you settled back to what you know, love and have come to rely on... I am not telling you what to do, but I would suggest there are certain things in life that we just can not replace... for me, it is having a spyderco in my pocket, ready to go at a moments notice... for you, I believe, your benchmade 940 is the same. Thankfully you do not have to replace it this time, but if you ever do, for what ever reason, my advice would be to just go ahead and do what you know is going to make you happy. Just a thought from a fan...

    Cody, that's not how you one hand open them easy.
    Put the bit with the hole in the middle of your palm with the blade facing you and pointing upwards. Slide the handle away from you and down.. you will figure it out the movements from there. Means you can grab from pocket and open in one easy swift movement... Also keeps the blade facing away from you.
    Great knife. I own the same knife in the same colour... just so i don't lose it!

      I have one ,the steel is such good quality. Holds a perfect edge and nearly forever. Rust is a problem, but with a little oil on it it will be fine. I love it. And its a really small knife for the length of the blade, a perfect little edc knife made in Japan.

      Yeah, and the laminated blade is razor sharp, ine time i missed my finger, but really close, it was so close the first layer of my skin was shaved away. I was not bleeding, but it was a terrifying close call, a quarter inch deeper and i would have hit the bone probably.

    I have used this Svord knife for two seasons exclusively for edible mushroom hunting and foraging. It is fantastic. Orange color is easy(er) to find if lost on the forest floor. The single handed open is great for field cleaning mushrooms. And the HCS blade is great. I would like to see how it works for bushcraft, like splitting wrist sized firewood.

      Problem is that with the friction lock a wood handle is more likely to swell if you get it wet and clamp your knife shut, you can bash the tang open but up to you. I have a wooden handle for mine and it’s fine for me but not sure I’d main a wooden one as a edc or a fishing knife or something. Mines just a beater

    Bought one through your affiliate link! The mini looks PERFECT for what I use my knife most for... castrating bull calves. When you're doing hundreds of them you need it to keep an edge and it truly needs to be a one hand opener.

      @yogibro6442 3 роки тому

      I have one, the plastic of the handle isn't slippery, it gives a little resistance to opening along with tightness from adjusting the 2 screws. It won't open by accident. I put a string on the hole in the "lever" and leave it hanging out of the pocket to grab, then push the lever against my leg to open. The blade seems more robust than the opinel, which I have with a screw on thumb stud installed on it.

    My son bought me a zero tolerance hinderer knife for my birthday last year. I had been covering that knife for a year. Within a week I had lost it. I was heart broken. We would walk to a shopping center for lunch that was on the other side of some railroad tracks every day. To get there we had to cut through some brush and a hole in the fence to cross the tracks. So. A week later I decided to bring a machete to clear the brush so we wouldn’t get wet from the over hanging leaves. While I was hacking away at the the Brush my friend spotted a knife hanging from a vine right next to the fence opening. Lol. I was so happy. I found my knife dangling there. So I got pick pocketed by a flowering vine. You are right about those pocket clips. My retribution on that vine was swift. The machete raised some eye brows from the waitress though. 😊

I'm on a farmstead so when i go outside i just throw it in my leg pocket, doesn't seem to get in the way too much. I'm funny with things, once i find something i like, i tend to stick to it. Peasant mini in blue next, then possibly a large and small in wood trim with the belt pouches as a birthday treat. Svord do some wicked looking fixed blades and if they hold up anything like these folders do, then i may look at them as well. One of my favourite ever knives is my mora companion (without the fancy firelighter built in).... simple, sturdy, cost nothing to buy, and keeps a nice workable edge to it.

It's also to sight easier in low light and down in a pack or what-not. One that can be found with an ultraviolet light at night is also a plus.

    I just got one of these and, when you take it apart, there is a second pair of holes for the brass stop pin. This allows you to move the pin so that the tang/opening lever will be completely hidden inside the handle when fully opened. This would eliminate a hotspot when you use the knife for a long time.

Mainly in fear of loosing an expensive knife. In all time using them I have been pretty well satisfied with my knife needs but wondered what other options there were. I think you answered that! These are brilliant little knives, it might be neat to remove the blade from the hand it comes with and make a wood handle.
