Pay It Forward Number 9... Number 9... Number 9

[Pete3]

Hello all, glad to see the thread has started up again!

Yep just looking at the Cryo II, I really like the ergonomics of it! There's something magical when blade and handle flow together so well.

I PIF'd my Cryo 2 because it was a bear to disengage the lock with my left hand. I'm so bloody left-handed, though, that it isn't funny. That's why I like the Axis lock so much. The only liner lock I have is my lefty Benchmade mini-AFCK.

I just paid forward a mini AFCK off the books so to speak, found it in a dark corner of my collection practically unused. Went to a deserving member though. I have another that i abused, am going to try to coax it back to a presentable condition. Great design

I've always liked the afck, never owned one though. I was really tempted by the M390 run not too long ago but I couldn't gather the funds.

Wish i would have grabbed one of those too. These are the two I "found":

I think benchmade should have kept the oval hole, or done something different. I like it better!

I'm a lefty myself loony, but if I ever get a Cryo II, I hope I can use it okay.

Those look a lot like my Benchmade Pika II that I have floating around somewhere.

You and I both...excruciatingly so...Hated rangetime in boot camp because my 16 used to launch every 3rd shell right at my eye (had a few welts for a while). I can operate the linerlocks on my ZT's, my Buck and a few no-names...but some, no matter how much I like their design, wil ever wind up in my pocket

I bought the one on top in the 90's i think, and am slightly ashamed of what i put that knife through. My restoration of it may bring a modicum of redemption for that abuse though. It was my introduction to 154cm, perhaps an under appreciated steel now but a great choice for a daily user

Wow 90 posts in the new thread!

 

[grownstar]

That sir, is just too cool :thumbup:

Thanks, bro! The Cryo is such an awesome knife but just screams to be pimped out

PiF'ing a LNIB Opinel No. 10, Beechwood handles, carbon steel blade.

If you've never held or used an Opinel you're in for a real treat.

I love Opinels.

Hey guys got a "what to get next" question but I value you guy's oppinion more than a bunch of random people I'd get if I started a new thread...

The two choices are a spyderco Caly 3.5 (VG-10) which would be another knife in my EDC rotation (and im guessing get lots of pocket time) or a Matriarch 2 wave which would be carried in a [secondary, behind my pistol] SD roll (so carried every day but not really used much). What to do...?

I know it won't get used much for you, but that Matriarch 2 looks amazing, just looked it up. Let's just say I'm glad I have curbed my impulse buying tendencies.

I'm calling the COUNTERFEIT Strider. I figured more people would be interested in a mod knife with a titanium lock. Oh well. It will he taking upnew residence with spydercobenchmadekai. Remember to pay it forward!

Hey red - I'd love to claim that opinel unless someone who hasn't tried one calls it. Thanks for the generous offer.

I have never tried an opinel and have been wanting to. I would like to use it to work on my modding ability. I would drop the spine to bring it under 3.5" and thin the butt of the handle.

I have a Rough Rider Toothpick still to be claimed by someone and some other stuff I'm thinking of paying forward.

ALLHSD should get the opinel. You're gonna love it especy once you put some loving mods into it. Email if you need any recs on ways to play/tune em to your liking. I recommend Boiled linseed oil soap after sanding down to 600.

Thanks man, are you sure you don't want it? I was ready to buy one (the 10 actually) so it's cool either way. I appreciate your offer of knowledge, it is what I really need more of! I will definitely keep it in mind. Do you use a belt sander on the blade?
