Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!

:) :D :cool: :) :p

Far exceeded my expectation.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want more, and more, and I said I wasn't going to buy anymore knives.

I think I have that virus - knifusmoregetus.
 
Don't hold back Practical Use,

Tell us how you really feel:D I know you will enjoy your new EDC, especially the TALONITE blade.

COBALT RULZ!
 
I have 4 versions of the Camillus EDC(talonite, 154cm,anniversery,D2) and the old glory version on the way. It is a great design by Darrell Ralph and very well produced by Camillus.
I think the next step is a custom version. :D
 
I have been doing the new knife thing (I hope I am not the only one) -cutting stuff up, digging paper and cardboard out of the trash to slash, wandering through the house finding reasons to cut things.

What I find most interesting:

Cutting the same medium, paper or cardboard, with the EDC and my AFCK in M2 - the EDC just glides through. The AFCK is not dull by any means - hair popping sharp.

The knife looks good - if the gold starts to wear I would consider hard chrome next time I do a gun.

The way the Talonite cuts is really nice - my next thought is Talonite kitchen knives.

Thinking about hard chrome, what about hard chroming a blade, except for the edge - much like a black coating????

Can Talonite be sandwiched between two layers of stainless, much like several kitchen knives I have?

The ultimate???? - how about a mini AFCK axis lock in Talonite.

I suffer from lust and greed!!!!!
 
I just got mine yesterday. It is great. I touched it up last night on the white ceraminc sticks of my SharpMaker - Scary Sharp! It now matches my Talonite Talon. What a pair. This EDC is going to be with me for a long time. Thanks Camillus for a really fine EDC.

EDC-schmeedeecee. That's a fowlllding knife. :p

The D-2 ARCLITE, now that's a little cutting wonder. How excited can you get over a $40 knife with no handle? Way excited! Those things are so cool!
 
I gotta ask, Steve: Where'd ya find it? I've checked the AG Russell site and only come up with the standard model?
 
I think A.G. Russell sold out of the D2 Arclite's before they even had a chance to put them on their web site. They should have another shipment in before Christmas, though. I hope...

A.G.Russell is also selling the Talonite EDC's at a resonable price, they will be $184.00 in their catalog, but can be had cheaper if you are a member of their Knife Collectors Club, which you can join for free from their web site. I wish I had extra cash this Christmas, but we've got to save up for our little one on the way.

Daniel:

Thanks for the info. AFAIK I can do somewhat better on the EDC price than the AG Russell price quoted, either through 1SKS or KPMO. Glad to know I may still have a shot at a D2 Arclite, though!
 
Just got my Talonite EDC. Razor sharp out the box. Great QC. Now searching for some things to cut.:cool:
 
Trim all plants.
Open all boxes (if they need it or not).
Remove all threads from all items of clothing in closet.
Shave your cat.
"Even-up" all pencil erasers.
Sharpen all pencils.
Edge the lawn.
Slice any and all cheese.
I need help - new knives unleash something strange.
