What knives do you absolutely not like or not understand the hype? I'll go first.

Has anybody mentioned the Puuko design yet?

 

[Terry M.]

Hmmmm…. Cold Steel knives, Hinderer, Zero Tolerance

 

[Mk-211]

I agree 100% with your take on Hinderer. HOWEVER, my 1982 two-tone yellow/white 318ci D-100 Dodge truck was incredible. And I’d still have it if some 50-ish Houston housewife hadn’t plowed into the rear end @ 50mph! (Apologies for the rant.)

Was she drunk?

Just a little more dust and... BOOM! Hey, WTF was dat?!

 

[Cwilliams563]

I have never understood the strider folders. forget about the maker. im just talking about the knives. over sized awkward handle and smallish blade with a clumsy placed start of the edge far from the handle. doesnt hold well doesnt cut well. looks silly. add in the ridiculous prices that make emersons look like a steal....... I just dont get the love for them.

How dare you attempt to denigrate the perfect knife design? Three inches of sharpened edge on a nine-inch long folding knife is literally the perfect design. Check yourself, sir.

Sames lol

I had to see what all the hype was about and picked up a fair priced one a little while back. Maybe the maker doesn’t have any pinky fingers? It is a weird design for sure and trying to figure out what I’m gonna do with this one lol. Seems there’s a big following for them though.

I couldn’t get past the first page before feeling trolled so I’m going to just back away slowly…

Back then they didn’t even bother to check. (IME, late 70’s-early 80’s in Houston, oil boom still ongoing, lots of cash, pretty much everyone had “had a few” at the local “Ice House” by 4pm.)

Mother of pearl.

I just don't like the colour.

That weird multi coloured steel. Don't know what it's called. But it is kindvof pinkish.

No one's gonna say Emerson? Or GEC?

I originally had posted a gec rant but I would have been marched off the plank. Super hard to get, super expensive on the reselling market for what it is, and the examples I got had side to side wiggle and not too sharp.
Right, ok
*walks off the plank*

How can anyone be critical of the chisel grind ,special tactical blade shape , that works like hydro-shock type ammo ?

Wave opening gets a serious bravo !

He discovered it by accident.... and then patented it.

Tracker. Dan.

This one wins, but Richmade is right there with him.

I only made it to 1:20 in the video you posted before I had a seizure and died. Thanks for that.

My parents had the beer holders that clipped to a rolled down window (because you smoked back then, too).

Can you give us 50% off your knives before you go?

 

[Blues]

Fellas, let's keep this thread on knives...or it will end up in W&C

 

[270ultimate]

...sharpened by somebody who wanted to make sure you're able to split atoms...

Laughed pretty hard at this.

Only own 2, and can confirm.

 

[ShaiHulud]

What about folding knives with .23% and up blade thickness? Offenders are medford and PMP
