Everyone's latest acquisitions!

Just got a NMFSH from a very good friend of mine. Been wanting one of these for a while!

That almost looks like the demko shark lock. Is it similar?

Yep, see Barman1 response

The little videos you make are great.

Thanks!

I'm assuming they have permission with this paragraph copied from their site.

"Pull up a stool and go for the highscore! The Arcade® is here to bring you all the fidgety fun you could want out of a bomber EDC. Endless customization and patented Shark-Lock™ Technology, direct from the brilliant minds at Demko Knives, bring you a folder that doesn't compromise on looks or function."

Thanks for the quote!

Dammit. You had me at shark-lock

I was intrigued but they lost me on blade length.
Push it up to 3.5ish and color me a couple hundo poorer.

Case Trapper. Buffalo Horn. Case really did a great job on this knife. Absolutely flawless. No gaps. Both blades centered. No proud pins. Bolster transitions are smooth. Sharp. Excellent W&T. I hope they continue producing knives this well made.

Yeah, the length is just under what I like too, but I like the design better than the ad20.5. And I have a coupon.

AEBL at ~62 HRC, mosaic pin, maple slabs, thick leather sheath

Mike at Blasted Hill Knives got this done for me. Finished in 8 days and in my hands in 10. Amazing.

This RMJ Lady Death might be a bit too ridiculous for me.

With it being so easy to conceal ... it would make a perfect EDC.

Since finding this forum ... I have several in that category. Each time I get mail call - the wife just shakes her head saying "That isn't even practical. WTF are you going to use that for?" She just doesn't understand ...

Sounds like my D7 tomahawk!

New clip day!
Casey Lynch does good work!
I haven't picked up one of his clips since he first started here and I picked up enough of them to last a lifetime I think.
Didn't realize he's expanded his portfolio so much till I started searching around, wow.

I had doubts as to whether the SwissQlip would fit on my Camper with the aftermarket scales.
Was a little tight but no problems.
This will keep this heavy little pocket anchor from rattling around on the bottom.

I’m sticking my toes in the Demko waters for the first time. These two showed up in the mail yesterday and I’m looking forward to using and getting to know them.

Just in today from the maker, Knives by Nuge Wicket in Nitro-V at ~61 hrc.

Just received this Gen 2 VG10 SE Spyderco Police "no bug" on the blade variation:

Didn't really need it but I got it for cheap & it matches a Gen 2 VG10 PE Spyderco Police "no bug" on the blade variation that I already owned & they make a nice looking pair:

The only problem (for me) is that I now need to find a Gen 2 VG10 PS to make a complete 3 knife set of this variation, like the Gen 2 VG10 PE/PS/SE "bug on the blade" variation that I already owned. LOL!

Anyway . . . so, here's what my Spyderco Police collection looks like now:

From top to bottom:

1) Gen 2 VG10 PE - No Bug
2) Gen 2 VG10 SE - No Bug
3) Gen 2 VG10 PE - With Bug
4) Gen 2 VG10 PS - With Bug
5) Gen 2 VG10 SE - With Bug
6) Gen 3 VG10 PE G10
7) Gen 4 K390 PE G10

BTW: There may be others but, in terms of branding on the blade, there are at least 4 variations in the Gen 2 Police that I know of: 1) Blank with no branding at all; 2) the "Police Model"; 3) "Police" only and 4) "Police" w/Bug Logo.

There are also variations of the Gen 2 with and w/o the Boye dent on the back lock but I've only collected Gen 2's w/the dent because I'm still hoping to collect a set of the Gen 1 variation that only comes w/o the dent.

But note that there's no dent on the Gen 4.

If you're curious why Spyderco decided to adopt the dent in the 1st place, read this: What is a Boye Dent?

That Kwaiken looks awesome with that clip! I gotta pick up a couple to put on my EKIs! That and a couple more monster discs, they are game changers for the Emerson's!

The Kwaiken really needs a monster disc, the blade rests low enough in the handle the disc is a little fiddly to access.
Also, now that I've got the clip I think a similar colored ti disc would be the beans.
