Everyone's latest acquisitions!

An almost impulse buy of a CRK Pacific. I'd been wanting one, didn't want to wait years for it, or pay the high price on the secondary market (it's a user, not a wall hanger), and everytime one that wasn't overpriced was listed anywhere it was gone in hours. Walked into my local shop and they had like ten in stock. So I bought one. Now I have to figure out which I like better, the Pacific or the Difensa. Each has something I like better than the other.

They are both awful. Send them to me so I can end your internal conflict!

🙃

CRK and a Spartan? Wear both. Use both. Keep both. Enjoy both.

[Don't send them to norcalAF. We're still trying to convince him to stop running with scissors!]

You should probably start a thread in the Razors, Scissors & Personal Grooming subforum.

Call your thread 'Flock of Seagulls'.

[Back on topic now!]

The Pacific caught my eye about the same time the Difensa did. I like the latter's direct reference to WWII history and that battle.

Id buy both. Other blades are higher on my list. However, my purchases have to wait awhile.

I recently acquired this Gen 2 Police PS with only the word "Police" engraved on the VG10 blade . . .

This completes this 3 knife set of similarly engraved Police2 models:

Which corresponds to this 3 knife set of Police 2 VG10 knives with blades that are imprinted with the word Police & the Spyderbug logo on it:

I also believe there is a set of Police 2 VG10 knives with NOTHING engraved or imprinted on the blades. I've come across a couple of these but I'm not going to bother to try to collect them too. These are more enough

In fact, I should sell off one of these sets but, as I mentioned, elsewhere, I don't need the $ & I hate the process involved in selling knives. 🤷‍♂️

So, I'm just going to keep them, at least for now. LOL! ;)

That looks amazing! Would love to hear what you think about it on a folder. I am not super active here, but will try to follow along.

I enjoy GripTec- it has that nice rubbery feel, even when wet. It may actually become grippier when wet! Despite rubber’s predilection to go soft, it seems GripTec is quite tough.
I think it’s best suited for fixed blades, choppers and such, but is a nice change of pace on any type of knife.
