What’s worse?

[Krooked Willow]

A wire clip on a $500 knife, or a secure ex sheath on a $600 kukri?

I think we need a bit more context....

 

[Angus McGunnigle]

1 cup honey

Zest of 2 lemons

4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

4 tablespoons olive oil

4 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary

2 clove garlic minced

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper



Mix all this in small saucepan. Carefully bring to a simmer and let it simmer until it’s reduced by one third.

Lasts in the fridge a couple weeks.

I remember holding hands and walking on the beach with my girlfriend until the Ketamine wore off and I realized I was dragging a stolen Walmart mannequin through a 7-11 parking lot.

The clip is always worse. In on one.

Married a yuppie
Took him for all he was worth

Now she's a swinger
Dating a singer
I can't decide which is worse

Both are equally bad regardless of the knife's retail value. A clip on a $5 Mil Tec knife shaped object is just as bad as a clip on any Spiderco, or Benchmade, for example.
Cold Steel's Secure Ex sheaths dull whatever knife is put into them, no matter what the alleged blade steel is.

 

[DangerZone98]

Yeah, the Secure-Ex dulling issue is still bugging us over in Cold Steel land. It seems to be hit and miss. Some users report dulling, some users can’t notice any considerable deterioration. I wouldn’t mind an increase in $20 if it means we get a decent kydex sheath. If you don’t mind getting a non-Cold Steel kukri, I recommend Kailash Blades. Their kuks have excellent craftsmanship. $600 is kinda steep, even for 3V steel.

A milled clip that’s too stiff or is poorly placed is infinitely worse than a wire clip. On a related note, an overly thick blade in the latest de rigueur super steel is worse than a thin blade in 440C.

No, that's just for the poor people.

Baby aspirin is just one shot of whisky instead of 2.

It’s not that difficult to procure a sheath or make your own, so I guess I’d say the clip would bother me more. But I wouldn’t purchase either without knowing the specs. If the pocket clip or sheath are deal breakers just move on and find something that meets your needs/wants.

Looks like salad dressing.

 

[gazz98]

I don't mind the Spyderco wire pocket clip so if it's a Ti wire clip, meh, I'd be ok.

I'll vote Secure ex sheath.

 

[Hackenslash]

I agree. The Internal Revenue Service is worse.

What is wrong with wire clips?
