Performance Reviews:
CAPTAIN:
a unique 2 edge blade, the tip excelled at skinning tasks and flat surface cutting (like stencils). The 2nd curved edge made fuzzsticks with ease, cut cordage quickly (the curved edge feeds the material into the cutting edge). Easy steel to sharpen. Grippy scales.
ENDURA (clipit):
have had this one for years, one of my first good folders. Plain edge, easy to sharpen, wicked sharp. made plenty of fuzzsticks & shelters over the years. A strong, inexpensive folder. Scales a bit slippery but not an issue.
CHINOOK:
big & beefy! , wicked humped (over the thumb hole) upswept blade, ending in a piercing point. Solid lockback, grippy scales. Hefty, solid, beefy knife. Has been used for cutting twigs, fuzzsticks, food, boxes and some knife training.
POLIWOG:
Very Unique looking knife! ball lock is really neat to look at, smooth action. Hefty feel to the knife, can choke up on the blade for delicate work. A light "snick" can heard as the blade is opened fully, feels like a bank vault door - smooth. A working "metal sculpture" knife
CRICKET:
a wee little blade, clipped to my keys. Makes quick work of boxes,parcels, string, stencil cutting, leather cutting. I customized the steel scales on mine with a dremel and a little rubber wheel, gives it a unique etched look that changes patterns when tilted in the light.
late entry:
RESCUE ASSIST:
a well thought out rescue knife. Blunt sheepsfoot tip to prevent stip stabs while cutting close to the skin, scary sharp serrated blade that snicks thru seatbelts, clothes and rope, A carbide glass breaker is exposed when you squeeze the blade, (it works well on car glass), loud built in whistle, bright orange FRN scales. I sliced thru several layers of jean fabric, clean cut the whole way. One can open the blade to the first detent and put rope in, then squeeze the blade to snip the rope. every hiker, SAR, LEO, Fire and others should have one. I clip mine to my seatbelt when in the truck, and its in my jump bag (pack) when i volunteer for SAR.
the collection grows!
pics soon!
