Let's Talk Knives

Microtech makes some w/o the glass breaker:
Microtech 702-10 Hera OTF AUTO Knife 3.125" Stonewashed Double Edge Dagger Blade, Black Aluminum Handles - KnifeCenter

I have a Heretic, and love it.
Heretic Knives Manticore S OTF AUTO Knife 2.55" Elmax Battle Worn Two-Tone Double Edge Dagger Blade, Black Aluminum Handles - KnifeCenter - H024-8A
That one's 2.55" (the 'S' model), but they make a 3" (the 'E' model, which I have) and 3.7" (X). They have a glass breaker, but it's a small ball bearing. The maker is the son of Anthony Marfione.

If you can get past the glass breaker on their Ultratech and other $300-ish knives, though, you can't really go wrong with a Microtech. I dislike their current practice of not defining the steel they'll ship, but I called Knife Center and they said they'd confirm which steel before you purchase, if you like.

 

I’m not sure, are you assuming “anyone could sleep with your fathers wife”?

 

A good friend is worth exactly what you pay for him

 

That’s the kind of friends I usually end up with. I’m kinda used to just not drinking the cool aid

 

I mean, anyone who would sleep with my father has pretty low standards.

 

Why would I need to hire the hooker after I fuck?

 

I like the first link, but at that price I’m back at the benchmade infidel.

 

What fun is arriving at any destination if you don't also enjoy the meandering journey to get there. Plenty of talk about knives, and the various tangents and rabbit holes we go down while thinking and talking about knives.

If you think this thread useless, then you probably want to avoid the Toyomafia thread. It's about stickers. Sometimes. But right now, pants are optional.

 

If you have your heart pointed at the Infidel - and why wouldn't you - I'd urge you forego purchasing your 2nd choice and wait until you can get the shiny gem you really want. Most especially if you aren't a person who collects knives, and this one will be your EDC.

It might not matter to you, and if you intend on carrying in the sheath it won't matter period; but the top-mounted trigger will be against your thigh when it's in your pocket. I carry in pocket, and that element helped sway me toward a side-mounted trigger over a top-mounted trigger.

But the Infidel sure is a sexy knife.

 

Send him straight to the wolves

 

You’re so damn tactful and polite

 

To leave

 

I sort of feel like most of the recent stuff in this thread would be better suited for the juvenile interactions we’ve become accustomed to in that “0th3R” thread. And I can’t shake the feeling that somehow, it’s all my fault….

 

I agree we have better places to deal with such chaos.

 

Can we keep this to let’s talk knives please thanks

 

Sure. Do you have one of @gosolo 's knives yet?

 

I actually sold my entire inventory before Christmas except for this one:

There you go @War Machine , that's yours.

 

@ToyoMafia 's is bigger.

 

That’s the kind of comment I’m used to seeing on that “0th3R” thread, lol

 

So is mine.

 

Like Toyotas, I make up for it with quantity.

 

Quality > Quantity.

 

Says the guy living in weather that leaves your junk looking like a short stack of dimes

 

It’s not how big it is that matters, but it’s how you use it.

 

At least it's a wide stack of dimes...

You have a point.

 

All my Toyotas are quality, and at least half my knives are.
