Knives you have most fun with

[Shitass55]

If I can't throw it I can't have fun

For me:

Fun while working- probably a khukri
Fun while sitting- probably an OTF
Most fun- throwing knives

Throwing knife hands down but for my folders it's my new Para3. Absolutely love spydie flicking it and the compression lock has become my favorite locking mechanism.

I represent that remark. "Ridiculous" can be both functional, and fun .

I asked a seller of Italian switch blades at the Blade Show what kind of steel was used in the blades. He said it doesn’t matter, we don’t use them for cutting. I bet you haven’t met Vinnie.

I can't stop fiddling with my Spyderco Smock. The action is so smooth and the button style compression lock is an improvement, as far as I'm concerned. I like the fact I can use the flipper or use the Spyder hole. I really enjoy just the fiddle factor. Only gripe is the odd choil, which I know is to clear the button lock. It does have a tendency grab and snag. Oh well. I'm still gonna flip the crap out of it over and over.

For some folks it’s the smooth deployment of a top dollar knife; for others, it’s the great value of a sub-hundred-dollar beater. Which knife or knives do you have most fun with? We won’t restrict the parameters of fun here. Some have fun Spydie flicking while others are happy with simply looking at their collection.

I like all my knives, but for the sake of this discussion, I’ll say it’s the Para 3. The combo of slick deployment and great slicing ability makes for good times.

I am truly surprised at how much I love my Para 3. The only thing is, the Smock is still more fun.

Ha!

The blades I used for my stilettos were produced by a guy who made and sold switchblade parts. The blades were described as 440C, but I have no way of knowing for sure. Although, I suppose if the guy wanted to lie he could have said a higher grade of steel, so who knows.

What I do know is that mine take a shaving sharp edge. And thanks to the hollow grind they are excellent slicers (hence the thin tomato slices). I can't legally carry switchblades in my state with blades over 2" long, so I use mine around the house for whatever I can in order to enhance my enjoyment of them.

I believe the Italians mostly use 440A or 420, which can also take a decent edge. I believe my old Buck 110 is 420, and it cuts like a laser.

I'm partial to stilettos, specifically ones that can also be used as cutting tools (and they certainly can ).

That's a nice collection of Maxx's you have there. I've been kicking myself for years for not buying one of the Camillus Maxx's with the dagger blade. Way to expensive now.
