No it's not sticking through the g10 on the left scale. I like to pull my knives apart and clean them as needed so I don't want to force it together. I can open it up a thousandth to make it right. The action is perfect and it would probably be just fine until the end of days if I never did anything to it but I love to mess with things so I'll play with it
Partially true. Both the Manix and the Native 5 are lighter in S110v (the Blurple Native 5 is 1 ounce lighter than the S30v G10 version). On the other hand, my regular S30v and S110v PM2s weigh exactly the same. Same with the Para 3s. So it seems that half the Blurples are the same weight as their S30v counterparts and half are lighter. For some reason, I could have sworn all the Blurples were lighter. Psychology at work here
This would make an interesting thread topic !
My wife usually just tolerates my accumulating .
But very rarely , she will disappear one of them !
Most, I notice in one of her work areas ...eventually .
Some few , I've never seen again .
I especially wonder about that Cold Steel , fully serrated , Tiger Claw karambit . Not normally a knife she would covet , or even want to handle .
I was shocked, initially , when she grabbed it ,out of the blue . Thought she might actually carry it . Hoped she would .
Heck ...maybe she does CC it ? I'm hesitant to ask .
Are they hard or very tough ?
No Latina , but about half German !
This time it was green, so not that tough. I think it was just suffering from an over-heated tip.Are they hard or very tough ?
I've opened the regular ripe kind ...with a hammer !
The blurple Native is not 1oz lighter than the S30V G10 version. They weigh the same. The only weight variation between Native 5 G10 models is if you're comparing an older linered G10 example and a post-2017 linerless G10 model. The linered version is significantly heavier than the linerless equivalent. It would be physically impossible for two Natives of identical construction to have a 1oz weight difference based on the G10 color. That's a huge weight difference.Partially true.

The differences in weight are so nominal though that it wouldn’t factor in when choosing one model over another. The steel is the real factor here. I haven’t had any problems with S110v but if I had to do it all over again, I’d choose the lower cost plain jane S30v, black G10 versions and call it a day. The Blurple color is pretty cool though
All I recall from Hanks is about life being like a box of candy ...or something ?
I was thinking of the one where he's a FedEx guy that goes down in a plane and talks to a volleyball all movie until he abandons it in the ocean like it was nothing.All I recall from Hanks is about life being like a box of candy ...or something ?
Also the one where he grabbed a dog by the throat with his teeth . Funny but not a good plan .
WILSON!!!!!!!!!
I did enjoy his creative tooth extraction
Yes, you are right. I was comparing the Blurple Native 5 to the older linered version.
