All About Pocket Knives

Nice one Garddog!

I have got to get a BM one day

They are a smooth knife Cutty BUT with the new pricing I would rather have the Kershaw line especially the ZT like Bug has and I'll tell ya at work the Kershaws hold up much better

Today it was the Delica 4 again. It was a good thing too, I had to defend myself against a bully that's been picking on me for a couple of years now........a 1" diameter may haw limb! So I thought, let's see what this VG-10 steel is all about.

I scored all around it, it cut pretty deep too. I broke it off an the whittled the nub down smooth. It barely took the fine edge off, it was still shaving sharp. I was impressed.

Never know when one of those will sneek up on ya!! John

Thanks for that info garddogg. I guess i'll just stick with my Kershaws/ZT's

ZT knives are sweet no doubt. But I usually carry the poor cousin....

Handy & Quick, Protech Auto****

Auto knives are kinda like ZT Knives or some customs in that they are quite outside my pay grade!
Carrying my SOG Twitch XL. The last one hand opener I would ever let go of!

Was gifted a Kershaw Speedsafe 1830. I have been carrying it. Chinese steel, sharp, light and quick and certainly not safe. I love the thing. I hope it don't bite me.

My current EDC is a Spyderco Dragonfly. In the rotation with a Spyderco Persistence, Pingo, and a SOG trident. I bought myself a ZT 0560 Blackwash for Christmas but have'nt decided if I will carry it or not......

For awhile my super reliable Bench made Striker.Any one know if Mr Elishewitz is still designingg knives?I wish he made slippies.

After a little ""tradin' & swappin'"" deal,with my fellow AAPK member,""Robert"" ----I came away with this Protech TR-3 Auto, as a ""new to me"" EDC___we actually swapped our EDC's ______________only us ""knife junkies"" would understand ---thanks for tradin',Robert !!!!!!!

Youse guys is just plain wierd. I love it. Must be the mid-winter blahs taking over.


Edit: Monkey Man, ya just struck me with an idea. We may have the start of something here. Does anyone want to swap EDCs with me. Do ya have a nothing knife you want to swap for my nothin' knife? Mine is a shell Imperial. Good mechanical condition, just the handles wraps are gone.

Looks great Monk and jerry I got his protech Newport too lazy and too many beers to take photo at moment

go ahead an send her off ta OL' ROBERT V.

I LOVE the blade steel in them Imperials! Let me see if I have any decent trading fodder!

How about a Prov. Cut Co. Prov. R.I. USA Shell Barlow with a Wharny secondary blade? I have just never taken a shine to it.

no one knows thanx anyway

garddog: I think your question is about Elishewitz designing in collaboration with production companies. I do not know the answer to that although I suspect he is not currently doing so. (Only because I haven't come across any company promoting such a collaboration recently. But I may have overlooked that.) He continues to be highly active in the realm of designing and creating custom knives and other objects (watches/pens etc.)

Yea QS thats what I was thinking He sure puts alot into little thing like jimping and ergo's.

I'm still packing the Endura 4. How'd I ever live without it?

He sure puts alot into little thing like jimping and ergo's.

Right. He is definitely on the A list of custom makers.

^^ Mr. Elishewitz designed the Hogue EX-04 currently available. A knife on my "want list". Also the EX-03.....

Thanx RS-SS MAN I'll check it out.
