Knife Chat: Slicing to the meat of all things sharp

[12_Gauge_Chimp]

I vote we just take a collection to sponsor one of those Ukranian drone genades inscribed with the message:

"Best regards to you and yours, Comrade Putin.  Love and kisses, UFOZS."

Yeah, but the knives would be cheaper and be useful more than once.

Well I did my part to fight Russian aggression. My  BPS Knives Bs1FTS arrived yesterday

Picked up a Gerber Suspension NXT multi-tool today at Walmart.

The pivot pins are a bit tight and the tools feel a bit gritty when you open them, but I figure they'll break in over time. Or I'll try to clean it and see if that helps.

One thing that I dislike is the pocket clip. It just feels like it'll snap pretty easily, so I'll probably end removing it at some point.

There's also some sharp edges on the handles, but I can always hit them with a fine file or some fine grit sandpaper to smooth them down.

Overall, it's a decent tool, but I doubt it'll replace my Leatherman Wingman as my EDC tool.

I have both the original Gerber Suspension and the Suspension NXT.  I think the original Suspension is a better tool although I'd have to dig them both out to remember exactly why I have that impression.

And I agree, neither can hold a candle to a Leatherman Wingman; a seriously underrated value-priced multi-tool.

Seems like the only differences between the NXT and original Suspension is the handle construction and that the original Suspension comes with a belt pouch instead of a pocket clip like the NXT.

Speaking of which, I took the pocket clip off mine and it feels a lot better in my hands. The clip now sits in the box and I'm probably never going to put it back on my NXT.

If the clip was better constructed, I'd probably have left it on instead of removing it.

I bought a thing because I saw it and thought it was cute and silly.





Forgive my dirty thumbnail, I just did a deep clean of the dryer vent and some stubborn bits are going to need a toothbrush to get off. 

This little knife is 1 1/8" long closed with a 1" blade.  😂

I got it for a laugh, but the blade is actually sharp and looks like it might be decent for use.

That's got to be the cutest knife ever!

Cuter than my pink Kershaw Chive?  Never!

Smallest knife I own is a small Kershaw I got in one of those multi packs Walmart sells around the holidays.

The whole thing is maybe a couple inches long. Blade length is about an inch I'd guess.

The Chive is like half an inch or so bigger than this thing.  This is like the Chive's baby cousin.  😂

But I wear it on my suspenders.  Top that!

Not as cute, but best little knife I've ever owned. Gerber zipper fob knife. Cut the zipper tag off, thread into keychain. Perfection.You cannot view this attachment.

Found the smallest knives I own. I was wrong about the dimensions, though. The blades are the 2 inches and the overall length is 5 inches.

One on the left is the Kershaw I mentioned in my previous post and the one on the right is a Gerber Mini Paraframe I got in a two pack from Walmart with a Gerber Air Ranger folder.

Look what I got in the mail today.

My Swiss-Tech 'Gerundet' folding knife came in and it is awesome.

ETA: I've also got one of their 'Wurdig' folders headed my way as well. That one will probably be here tomorrow if the delivery estimate is correct.

Unless you want one even smaller that comes with a phallus and testicles?



Make sure you select the right version

And yet despite the really small size, it'd still probably be confiscated by the TSA as a "prohibited weapon".

And I've noticed that a lot of these super tiny knives are slip joints. I'd love to see a tiny liner lock or frame lock knife.

If it's one hand opening that would make it illegal to carry here.

The Bestech Tulip is along those lines.

Most of my knives would be illegal in Europe then.
