Guns & Outdoors Forum

Thought I made this here, guess it was at Guns and Ammo Forum. (<for the bing and Google bots)

Anyway,
Does anyone carry one? I do, and love it. Light and thin, too damn handy to ever be without. Some are fat and clunky, this one ain’t.

His preorder is open for another day.

Not cheap, also not hecho in China, made here in the USA by a guy with a CNC machine in his garage.

I have one that looks similar but I 3D printed it. Definitely not as sturdy as that one but still handy to have around the office.

The guy who makes these printed some parts for me on his Bambu printer, from carbon fiber PLA.
It makes a REAL part. Not just a printed trinket. I was beyond impressed.

I have a couple of the bulky folders that I keep in the feed pickup and tractor. Much better than dulling my knife on net wrap. I was using it the other day trying to get a seal out on a hydraulic cylinder and I broke the tip off. If I had done that to my knife I would have been unhappy but as it was nah. I will have to check out those thinner ones.

Not a fan of razor blade knifes. They are sharp and then they aren’t. And there’s no strength to them.

I used to carry the little Gerber one when I was traveling to and setting up trade shows a lot. If I wasn’t checking a bag on the flight, I just threw away the blade before I got into the airport, then would buy a blade when I landed (usually where ever I was stopping to get a six-pack) and was driving to the show. That way I could open the boxes and envelopes when I got there to set up the booth. It then became even more important as rental cars stopped coming with real keys you could mis-use to open things.

Then I lost it on some trip. Never replaced it because I just started checking a bag so I wasn’t hauling big bags in airports. So I’d just bring a couple of “real” knives in the checked bags.

The razor knives do really well on opening things. All other knife things, they are sub-optimal

For my limited uses of a razor knife, it would be hard for me to justify paying that price. I don't really need one for pocket carry, normally, and where I would use them at work, they'd be attached to a lanyard or wrist loop because if I drop it in a lake... it ain't coming back.
