Knife Chat: Slicing to the meat of all things sharp

[NT2C]

I guess that makes sense why the spine on the Ontario Rat II is sharp like that.

ETA: And the 3" and under blade length limit does help me a bit should I ever want to send you a knife, NT2C.

Just to show how much that scalpel blade holder resembles my CRKT LCK+ Large, I took pics of them side-by-side:

The similarities between the CRKT LCK+ and the Amazon scalpel knife remind me of the Buck 877 Maverick and CRKT Fossil knives I've got.

Either the Buck Maverick looks like a small fixed blade version of the CRKT Fossil or the Fossil is a larger folding version of the Maverick.

Here's what I was talking about.

Critical Dimensions:
Less than three inches is the maximum length of a folding pocket knife which may be lawfully possessed on school grounds.

This is surprising to me.

Same here.

Here in Texas, it's illegal to carry a knife on school grounds no matter what size.

What jurisdiction? In California its even more restrictive. And possibly even more restrictive in LA. 

Its literally like you need a knife law gps system with alarms in your phone.

NT2C The folding scalpel i had the same one in my cart for a while. I also have the S13 from same maker in the cart to. I aint guessed yet which one would feel better in the hands yet. The S13 more resembles your CRKT the more straighty handle. How's it feel in your hands?

We are allowed to wear knifes with a fixed blade up to 12cm. On the other hand one hand opening knifes with locking mechanisms are only allowed to be carried in a secure container regardless of the blade length.
So I'm allowed to openly carry my scandi with a 4 inch blade, but not my box cutter as it locks.

Schools can forbid knifes in their house laws; mine didn't. They did however rule out shoulder free tops and walking barefoot.

My school had a zero tolerance policy for weapons, but the dress code was fairly lax.

I went to high school around the time dressing like Britney Spears in her "Hit Me Baby, One More Time" video was popular and I knew a few girls that would constantly be testing how short they could make their skirts before getting dinged for a dress code violation.

Apparently at my school, the dress code violations for skirts only kick in once you're seeing visible butt cheeks.

So you could wear a skirt that was basically a glorified belt and show off the bottom half of your ass, but having anything considered a weapon (which the definition of changed damn near every day) by the administration was a no no.

That's Virginia state law. Federal law is 2"

Feels nice, comfortable.

[12_Gauge_Chimp]

So federal law is you can carry a knife with a 2" blade on school grounds ?

I'm probably misunderstanding that, which wouldn't be surprising knowing how my brain works.

Cool, I have a banana tree cutting sword.

I think between this guy, Beez Blades and Zac in the Wild's videos in the past couple months, my wallet is going to hate me for all the knives I'm wanting.

And with a little digging over on Knife Center's site, I found out that Boker makes a leather EDC multitool/pen/flashlight sheath like what was posted in the Aliexpress thread Moab started.

The Boker one is like 50 bucks, though.

Sent in my Kershaw 1680 for warranty service (blade is not centered and drags opening) and sharpening.  We'll see how fast the turn around is on this.  I'm thinking I may get it back the end of April.

Something tells me you have plenty of backups to tide you over until then, NT2C.

I've had a few Kershaws that have blade centering issues and I always figured it was because they were the budget models from Walmart.

I was able to fix most of them myself by tightening the pivot pin a little and centering the blade that way. The ones that I wasnt able to center no matter what usually ended up getting sold or given away.

I also stopped buying Kershaw knives since it seemed like I was always getting one with some issue. Not sure if Kershaw had problems between 2011 to 2016, but it seemed like it to me.

Why do you say that?  Just because I got an Ontario Rat II in bone color (black blade) and an Ontario Rat I in all black just in today's mail?   

Edit: And the little bone bastard bit me!  Sliced the ball of the thumb trying to flick it open.
