Should I get a Skyline?

[MattyLav]

Hey guys, I'm looking to get a new knife and for some reason, I can't pull the trigger on a skyline, until now that is. I'm looking at the orange skyline. What do you guys think about the skyline? And to be more specific the orange skyline? What are the pros and cons? Thanks everyone I appreciate it

Well....

Pros:
)decent steel
)thin grind
)smooth action
)ergonomic
)easy to take apart for cleaning
)light weigh
)cheap

Cons:
)it doesn't carry really deep in the pocket in a tip up configuration......Carry's nice and deep tip down though!

It's a great knife! Also get it from kershawguy

Thanks 9blades.
And i prefer tip down so that should be good. And i really want to order from Kershawguy. He seems like a great guy.

 

[Tbaggin]

Yes, get one. Too inexpensive to be upset about..

 

[sticktodrum]

He's fantastic. I actually recommend a regular black Skyline. They wear a bit better after some real use. However in general, the Skyline is a great all-around pocket knife and I recommend it.

Should I get a Skyline? Ha, what kind of question is that? Of course you should get. I'm just busting your chops. They're awesome! Lightweight, ergonomic, sheeple friendly, manual flipper, smooth, great pocketclip, affordable, great steel, etc.

go ahead and get one, it was the single best knife purchase i ever made

 

[MattyLav]

Thanks guys

 

[KnottyEagle]

So what did you decide on?

 

[MattyLav]

I think im gonna get the Orange Skyline. I asked here just to see if it was a good descision

 

[TX180SX]

The orange looks good but as was mentioned, they show dirt quickly. Still a great knife. If they carried deeper in the pocket i would edc mine.

 

[KnottyEagle]

Definitely a good decision. :thumbup:

Agreed. The orange looks awesome, but mine has a few black spots on it from NOTHING! Snag one now!

 

[KnottyEagle]

Yeah, the Orange will show some dirt, but I get over it pretty quickly.

 

[jkwithawave]

Get a brown one too!

 

[Pocket Blade]

Absolutely. The best knife I've ever owned and held in my hand.

I have fixed blade Skyline that I keep in backpack when I go to work - in addition to my edc's (sometimes a Skyline flipper). Also have the orange and black G10 flipper versions. Great little flipper for the money.

Just do it, it is the sweetest small edc knife I have ever handled. Scale color is just your personal preference. I liked mine so much that I went on to collect all of the different ones I could get my hands on.

Careful, you won't stop at one
