Are these new designs for real, are any of you guys taking this junk seariously?
I am looking at the prices of these horrific designs, spray painted, clumsey, clunky, chunky, hammers and axe type devises that marginally qualify as a modern custom knife, i am stunned, dd d ooodes, guess these creative slick guys have a following, they are getting huge dollars for some really pretty useless devices that have generated some real awesome and amazzzzzing sales. Good job boys, your real marketers indeed.
Blows me away a guy could have a real knife from a top maker, a truly fine instrument and people are buying edged hammers instead, amazzzzing to say the least.
Well ill stick with real makers of real knives used in real work by preffesionals world wide.
Take a look at the great values that Lone Wolf offers, Blade Tech, Bench Made, Spyderco, and others, real knives.
Edged hammers guys, get a clue in a few years no value, complete waste of money.
 
Welcome to the forums, RealDeal.

Why did you put Strider in the list? I own no Strider blades.

S/F,
CEYA!

I own, and have owned striders. The sng cuts well and is a flat ground S30V blade with a titanium framelock and G10 slab. Its a good knive as well as the FNG, the AR version is thicker but still sharp and holds a good edge. Site some specific examples of some of these things you dont like. I edc a DDR gunhammer LTC with a sak soldier, but I used to edc an sng. Give us a link to some of thes "edged hammers" if you mean entry devices and strider Hawks they are meant for specific purposes mainly "entry tools". I am not 100 percent sure of your motives with your post so I will go along with this for now.

People like diff things, some people dislike spyderco, or benchmade, for thier own reasons. I personally like the new designs by Carillo "airkat" being the Kon Dor. I dont see it as a sharpened hammer but a neat design and I dont give a rats ass what its worth in a couple of years. I am going to use that knife and the way its built my kid will use it too. yeah its a lil big but I like big knives including my "Lone wolf T2, Benchmade 710, 610(cant forget that), Military, Chinook, Recon1 etc, etc" I god willing will own a carillo knife because he has a diff style, that I happen to like. I dont necessariy like some designs such as "spyderco kriss, Lonewolf paul models" but people like diff things and I wouldnt knock it. Are you knocking hinderer too? How do you feel about busse? The are thick knives but they'll do darn near anything you want them too "my FSH got me scotch and brought me a cigar last night:D ". Have you ever owned any of these knives? if so which ones and why did you not like them? Welcome to bladeforums and I look forward to your response.
 
I guess i should have put it a bit differently, Art knives vs real every day user knives, i can think of allot things for entry tools vs a folder that i would and have used, i use my folders to cut food more often than anything else, other tasks require other tools.
The restof the knives yo named are more classic designs and consequently are all fine by me, i like my Reeve PRoject knife, been around a long time nice and stout, but not rad, classci design and makes sense.
 
I agree with you i use my folder to well cut things and mostly to slice and almost never to pry and certainly not to use something I would use a screwdriver for. Some people really like the tactical look, I like it to a point on diff things but i am not big on the entry tools. Art knives are more like damascus with silver or Gold inlays. your probably thinking Tactica vs EDC? or maybe Futuristic vs EDC? I agree some stuff looks pretty out there and I would not own them or find a use for it like the strider Tiger.
 
RealDeal,

Diversity in design is part of what makes the knife world what it is. There is something for everyone.
 
There are many knife designs I don't like, but just because I don't like them doesn't mean that those designs aren't perfect for someone else. As much as you might not understand why, the knives you aren't too enamored with are likely to remain popular. They have built a big following, not just with collectors, but with people that use the knives as well.

if you were a real preffessional you wouldn't have to ask that question - you'd already know what credibiblity was.

Ha!

I wonder if you handled some of the knives mentioned. Here is what I can tell. Based on pics, I had quite a bad impression about the Airkat, I mean il looked big and heavy and crude. Then I got to play with one a few weeks ago. It's very well made, I mean that frame is thick as hell but the action is very smooth, the blade is dead on the center. It still isn't the style of knife I like, but it definitely isn't "junk".
 
I love the on line life, you guys are so easy.
So i need to go do some one eyed, one armed chores now, all these one eyed and 3 legged animals want thier grub.
 
one of the more illiterate threads of late... :rolleyes:
