Let's keep it simple...

Would you buy a Ti framelock Packrat XL with an exotic blade steel or not?

I'd love to hear your steel recommendations...especially those that consider steel choices across various price points...

 

[Jon Leflar]

Ti?

You know, I'd have to see it...

 

[Flashpoint]

How about some good ole 420J

Flashpoint, less flappin at the gums, more voting! 420J...sheesh, do you have a mullet?!

 

[J_Curd]

I would nominate a 154CM blade.

Alright alright, but you did say keep it simple.


Depends on the price point were trying to hit. Either a VG-10 or ZDP-189.

I voted no, and here is why:

1. I'm poor, and even if I thought the knife was frickin' awesome, my wife would banish me if I spent the money on it.:grumpy:

2. If I did have the scratch, I don't think I'd be interested in an XL version. 3.5 inches is pushing it for EDC for me, so I'm liking my blades closer to 3 inches.

Split the difference on cost vs function. I could actually live with an XL Packrat in the upcoming 14-series Sandvik, with a clad steel framelock ala the Groove.

I'd go no as well. If someone offered the knife to me, I wouldn't turn it down, but funds are limited, and Kershaw has other products that I'd prefer.

Not that it wouldn't be great, though

+1 ...I think this is a GREAT IDEA !!! Besides I need to add to my "RAT PACK" ...What I call my collection of Packrats . Take Good Care All and Be Safe Always.

God Bless

I almost hate to say it but . . . this would be another good candidate for a Kershaw forum knife.

Even though a Ti S110V ZT0200 is my current dream knife, that probably isn't going to happen. The Pack Rat is a sweet design, and with a 4" S110V blade it would be really nice, so that sounds good to me.
The only way I'd agree to the Pack Rat is with a 4" S110V blade. Otherwise it just isn't enough to catch my dollar.

Isn't it about time for some CPM 154cm? Solid or composite, both are good. Joe

I have to agree, I have a Burke with CPM 154 and it is a great all around steel for edc uses.

 

[J_Curd]

CPM154CM....oooooohhh....solid Joe.

 

[Tony8179]

Would I buy it? Only if it came in the steel I want... SG2!!!!

 

[hwpaintballer]

How about Infi .
