BM 710
It's only 3.9'' but feels way too large to EDC vs grip mini

My boss had some parts coated by Guhring with their FIREX tool coating they use on endmills and drills. Turned out pretty awesome. I got one of the 5 that were made.



My worn Skeletool CX compared to the FIREX coated one.

This is by buddys kirshaws I sharpened maybe a month later I had to resharpen because
they get dull FAST. idk what metal they use.

A lot of their knives are just 440 stainless, nothing special, so they do dull quickly. A lot of there stuff does have premium blade steel however. I have one of their knives with a D2 blade and it holds an edge forever.

The angle at which you sharpen it has an effect too. A wider angle will be more durable where as a narrower, thinner angle will be sharper, but not last as long.

Complete pile of garbage useless knife but it looks kinda cool.
Put a 25* edge with a 21* back cut and stropped. $8 w/20% off. Harbor freight knife. :P
The bottom of the handle has a compass that unscrews I was thinking of getting a hollow brass pipe, thread the end
and use it as a short spear?

Recently picked up a Kershaw Entropy to replace my ol' Petzl knife for hiking and whatnot. Loving it thus far.

I agree. Gerber is what I use when I don't give a shit if I break it in half.

The rubber gloves are a nice touch.

This thing feels good. Comes with a leather sheath too.

Another cheapo knife I guess but the handle feels good.
I don't like the g10 if anything normal plastic like this feels nicer to me.

[LowR3V'in]

It's a gerber but it's s30v so it's a good knife.
Also an auto which I don't really see the benefit but whatever.

It's 4'' but it feels more like a 3'' because the blade shape.
No problem edc ing this thing.
