    Folding Knife Recommendations

    I second the above recommendation of the Benchmade Adamas or mini Adamas in cruwear. I own a mini and can't find anything I don't like about it.

    Knives: money money or not

    Spydercos do, but they don't retain that sharpness very long. Life is too short for for those steels in my opinion though and they aren't an option for me either. Especially when there are much, much better options for not much more $.

    Knives: money money or not

    Why spend $250 on a knife? I think this is personal preference and only you can make that justification. Is function/ability to cut all that is important to you? If so a box cutter would be fine and cheaper than a havalon. I watched a hunter use a box cutter to break down an elk. Now if...

    The Topic is knives.

    Any chance we see the handmade one you have now? It can probably be fixed and it can help us make recommendations. If you just want a new blade, there are affordable custom options out there if you have an idea of what you want in a skinning blade. Check some of the threads on here that show...

    Any knife makers on here?

    Hey! I've been making for about 10 years I guess. I used a Craftsman 2x42 for years then found an Esteem 2x72 fairly close. I don't forge much but when I do I like 80CRV2, 1084, or W2. I do mainly stock removal using aeb-l, s35vn, magnacut, and k390. I've designed a few of my own patterns...

    I had to look that one up. Good looking blade and those materials are just meant for work. I like it.

    Custom Knife Handle?

    Yep, very possible. Removing the handle is usually the hardest part of working on a handled knife, but it looks like it just has to be unscrewed. Sndmn will take care of you, but I'll offer as well.

    Who makes a good assisted opening EDC knife?

    ZT 566 if you can find one. It checks your boxes. It is assisted, a flipper, has a deep carry clip and good steel. Have a look at other Zero Tolerance offerings. I usually carry old school Ken Onion Kershaws when I want assisted. They don't have true deep carry clips, but they ride pretty...

    Best hunting knife

    I have a fine and extra fine 4" stone in my kit. I carry the fine in the field but this is because I always have a ceramic rod to do quick touch ups. The fine stone is if I let it get too dull and need to work the edge a bit more aggressively to get it back before the ceramic rod.

    Best hunting knife

    Seems like you want a knife that can finish the job without needing sharpening to avoid having to carry a sharpening stone. There are some options for touching up a blade out there that don't require much space or weight. DMT makes diamond sharpening stones that are only 4 inches long...

    Hey!

    It seems when I search for gear, results from this site show up often. So, I figured I'd join and see if I can contribute. While, not a huge gear junkie, I do like to buy quality. I'm a Colorado native and a knifemaker who also enjoys getting out and hunting.
