Bad Blood Blowout =Stocking Stuffers !

[panoz77]

You both said I'm a hypocrite, you panoz including the insult I am a "joke". Where is my raving and drooling?

The point here is it is a $20 knife. Mod it or do whatever you want. Doesn't change what it is. Cheap Chinese import where there are better values to be had out there.

I've had one. Don't try to sell people on it being a $50 knife (because if it were people would have bought it at $50).

I'm not searching your post history, but I'm sure it could be found.

I think some members just like to swoop-in and try to worry at a person just to invite a response that will lock the tread . Seems I've seen this before ? Sorry but I'm just too full of the loving spirit of Xmas .

You took that ALL wrong . I meant that members "rave and drool " over mods in a positive and approving way , when they like the knife brand . But if they don't like the knife , then the mod proves a fault . You're getting all riled up over nothing . Not everything is about you , sir .

You said that all wrong. Maybe choose your wording better to convey what you actually mean.

I'm not swooping in. Nor am I worrying at a person. As an owner of one of the knives this thread is about, I'm giving you and others reading my opinion based on first hand experience.

Accusations with no evidence. Should people believe an opinion without reason?

OK, so I will search your post history. And what do we have here? Looks like you were forced to have to mod the choil on your knife, must be a POS.

I did the same thing on a stone. I did not take off as much as the OP though.

And here you are praising a high dollar knife that had to have a re-grind

And here you had to modify a Sog Seal Pup to make it useable

Heavy wood processing while camping (for fun! Not survival). The Esee 6 and RMD see plenty of lighter tasks while camping as well. The most used and abused is actually the SOG Seal Knife in the first picture. It is my do everything around the house and yard knife. Ice pick, prybar, garden knife, digging, chopping down pesky saplings, plenty of random yard tasks. It is thick and tough. The AUS8 holds up very good and sharpens easily. With a reprofile it actually cuts now even. And if it breaks it is easily replaced. I've bought them here of the exchange for around half what the go for on the street.

I'm sure there many other examples. But you asked, so.......

And back on topic . Some time ago , IIRC it was Charlie Mike who started a thread about the special cutting properties of a real chisel grind . Got me curious and wanting one . Be nice to have CM make one to my specs , but that's not in the budget . So I went looking for my comfort price range . The Bad Blood Raiju was really the only contender . Even has a kinda CM look .

Except you've shared almost no details about your BBK . Back on topic , would be nice !

So do you already have the Raiju? The Drifter Tanto is another Mosier design.

 

[DocJD]

The only BBK I've personally put to any hard use , is the Harbinger folder that came with the asymmetric grind . Real shame because everything else was perfect . Wasn't worth returning . Got it way cheap . It worked fine , so I decided to test hard .

Did all sorts of tough cutting . No baton work , 'cause I just don't use a folder that way . But hard chopping and stabbing into wood . Also used as a throwing knife , which can be very damaging . The throwing did eventually mess up the lock , but nothing I couldn't easily fix . Disassembly is a bit fiddly , with the little screws that fasten the scales to the liners .

So the Harbinger is kinda beat up , but fully functional . Blade centering somewhat off , more due to my limited repair skills .

I conclude that these can be pretty tough knives that could be used and carried .

 

[DocJD]

I've had the Raiju since mid September '17 . The Yokai folder , I haven't ordered yet . Don't have the Drifter . I do have their Persian style fixed blade which I ground to a DE . "Rotorhead" is the name .

I assume you are talking about the Kendrick Rotorhead? I have that one on my EDC bag.

Why are you quoting me on Medford being bad at cutting on a thread about Bad Blood and making it into a discussion about modifying knives? Apples and oranges, buddy.

Also many of the commonly mods are done for preference and aesthetics, not need. My Quartermaster Mr Roper is ground like a brick (Medford) and won't cut anything well even with a razor edge until it gets a regrind, and it's even thinner than a Medford. A pocket knife with or nearly .25" stock will cut like crap compared to something with around .1" stock using anything but a Scandi grind (it's not a grind know for efficient slicing). That's just simple physics.

I'm not the one making this a discussion about modifications. If you don't like to be quoted, then don't post on a public forum, buddy. I didn't change your words.

"Also many of the commonly mods are done for preference and aesthetics, not need." Which is EXACTLY my point.

You are dragging an unrelated conversation into this one. This is about Bad Blood knives, not modifications of knives that otherwise cut like bricks.

Then don't call me buddy, buddy.

Don't feel bad that you had to modify a $1000 knife, I was using it as an example because people in this thread were claiming that modding a knife meant it was junk because it doesn't work right when it came from the manufacturer. I'm just glad my knife is $20 of junk, not $1000 of junk.

You think a G3 and a SOG are high end knives? Also, you prove my point when you call names first and then try to go back and find evidence to justify what you've done. And no where did I say modding a knife means it is a POS. That is your projection. BTW, it was not a Seal PUP. If you are going to dig through my posts at least get the facts correct.

Except you've shared almost no details about your BBK . Back on topic , would be nice !

On topic like you and your buddy insulting those that don't agree with you?

This will be the last post I make in this thread.

With this "blow out" Bad Blood knives are finally priced appropriately. At $20 they are not a "value". They are $20 knives finally priced at $20. They are priced as the should have been from the beginning. Further, I wouldn't trust my fingers to one of their folders.

 

[JPD1998]

Most BB knives can be bought for $20 anywhere. I found a few for $20 with free shipping
So there's no real big savings here. And I agree with a few others ,at $20 they are prices appropriately.

On the other hand, they are high value knives and do perform very well. I find the 8CR steel to be quite adequate.

I buy knives like these, to give friends that use knives, but aren't knife guys. None have ever complained.
But I recently gifted one of my friends a Benchmade Axis Stryker and it kicked the $20 generic knife out of his pocket.
He has no idea what either knife cost.

 

[panoz77]

Plenty of these knives have sold and still sell at the higher prices . They are not new releases .

I don't recall naming anyone personally ? But if the shoe fits .

I'm not really trying to sell anybody anything . Just sharing ! More for me if you don't buy . No skin off me .

I've had the brand. The original price was $40-$50, msrp higher. The damn thing was worth about $20. Sorry if that upsets some folks.

Yeah, craytab is one of them who paid $60-70 for one, I guess that's why he is so salty that they now sell for $20 and he overpaid and sold it for a loss. He must have said 12 times in this thread that it is a $20 knife and it is, that's what I paid for each one of mine or less.

I'm only posting in this thread again to correct the missinformation being spread. As i said earlier, I paid $21 for the bbk I owned.

Please get you facts correct when trying to insult.

Quoted your own words, maybe I'm reading it wrong, but what else would explain why you are so bitter on a $20 knife? Literally, almost every post in this thread, you say it's a $20 knife. It is a $20 knife, that's why this thread was posted in the first place, LOL.

Some think it is a value at $20, and obviously others think it is priced "appropriately" and yet others claim it is junk. These opinions apply to about every knife brand on this website regardless of the price.

 

[DocJD]

AGAIN , back on topic : I just ordered the Kendrick Mosier Yokai . I've wanted to try this one for some time ,but the price drop didn't happen till recently . They seemed to sell out PDQ on some sites , so I decided to go ahead . Very unusual flat grind design for a folder . Unlike most , the flat is on the left side , like seems to me better for right hand use .
