I don't suppose you remember where you got that particular type of rainbow paracord? I've looked all over online, but can't seem to find that configuration. Looks killer!

In fact I do remember, and it looks a lot better in person than in the photo! It is named "Dark Stripes", and I got mine from knifeworks.

Btw, after I tie the hangmans/Reeves knot and get the distance where I want it to be, I will coat the knot with superglue. When it dries I hit it with some worn out 2000 grit wet/dry sandpaper, and then polish it with some mothers mag polish to bring out the shine.:thumbup::)

Wow you guys have some nice EDC setups, here is my current setup. Don't laugh one is a Bear Grylls Folder, the other a Kershaw Crown, and a PT 9 Bulb LED Tailcap. Works for me so far just got the Kershaw, owned the BG Folder since August 2011. Before that I carried a Gerber Profile, which I passed on to my son. Going to Bass Bro this Weekend to get a Spyderco, or new Gerber. I am a personal fan of Gerber lol

Welcome to the forums, viper! I've been meaning to pick up a crown for some time; I love the traditional styling and it looks like a great value. I'm please to hear that you might purchase a new Spyderco, and I definitely recommend it. Once you get one in hand, you realize how comfortable and innovative a lot of their designs can be. Be sure to check out the Delica, Endura, and Tenacious if they've got them. And if you're feeling spendy, you'll never regret picking up a Para-Military 2. Good luck on your purchase, whatever you choose. Don't forget to post back here with a photo!

Thanks!

For this kind of edc blade photos I use a lightbox and one or two cheap tungsten lamps with the camera on sturdy tripod. I kinda like the look and feel the soft, diffused light gives to photos.

I've heard of putting a drop of glue at the knot to keep it from wanting to unravel, but it never occurred to me to coat the whole thing. That's a neat idea. Thanks again!

The paramilitary 2 is a sweet knife.

Dankeschön :)
I found a new hobby in knife tinkering.


Thanks!
Talking about silly restrictions:
Usually I EDC this small fixed blade today because fixed blades with a bladelength of less than about 5" are legal to carry and one handed locking folders of whatever size (think Spyderco Dragonfly, I would LOVE that blade) are not.

By the way: FFG and Stonewash on this was done by German master-knifemaker Jürgen Schanz, scales by me. It was a Muela Ibex originally.

I'm in love! How can I get one done like this? :)

Heh, thanks :)

Well, its easy:
1. Get a Muela Ibex
2. Get a Knifemaker of your trust to regrind it to FFG and stonewash it.
3. Get some Custom Scales done.
4. Get a Kydex done.

All in all, should be about 100$
Good luck! ;-)

I've used to carry one of these for EDC while ago, mainly in office environmet ... It surprised me greatly how useful it is, despite the odd looking. Also good ergos.

Glad someone else have it among his EDC... a very underestimated little knife IMO.

Regards.
 
Felt a little old school today; Carried my Alox Pioneer SAK with convexed Edge I recently did by hand down to 2000 grit then strop on leather.

SHARP AS HAILLLL

Going with the Kershaw Skyline today. This particular copy isn't my favorite, since I can't seem to find the spot on the pivot that balances blade play and deployment speed. I've got a copy in red that I much prefer, but I don't have access to it right now. At any rate, it's a great, affordable knife--good steel, good ergonomics, and made in the USA (if that matters). Fantastic value.
