What’s in the box?...

Glad I found this community. I hope it’s ok to ask for some gift recommendations on here - wanna make my kid smile this Christmas :)...

That’s right, here’s another entry from my seemingly never ending collection of Balisong Shaped Objects. (I think this is what the cool kids today are calling “building the brand.”)...

Yo!...

This is neither a review or I guess really one of my usual Weird Knife screeds, but inspired by the post from the other day by @CharlesMangione… Here is a much worse implementation of a similar idea. These are a little strange but not necessarily that unusual because I still see them knocking around on the tables at flea...

I’ll bet you a shiny Lincoln penny you’ll never figure out what this is if you don’t already know. I’ll give you a minute to think about it....

It looks tiny, and at 35g it is, but a 3.5" handle is enough for even my meaty hands, and most of the time a 2.5" blade is plenty. In fact, it is about the same length as a CRKT Pilar that weighs more than the Woodswalker and the sheath (55g) together....

Happy Front Flipper Friday to all who celebrate! Today is also a NKD* for me with the recent arrival of the Civivi Appalachian Drifter II....

Heh heh. Huh huh....

Ah....

Outdoor Research knife. Slathered by an orange paint pen to mark it as mine and make it more visible if left somewhere. Additional thumb stud screwed onto it for easier opening.

In one of my previous posts, we looked at a knockoff of the ScorpioDesign Shapeshifter, a semi-custom knife with a big price tag that comes from Germany. Its design philosophy was to have a folding knife with a blade capable of being longer than the handle once deployed. That knife is a very clever, very elegant design by...

Despite my achievements in the realm of balisong knife collecting, it is with great shame that I have to admit that I’ve never actually managed to get my hands on either of the Spydercos, the Spyderfly and the Smallfly. But! Just the other day I did score one example of the updated re-release, the Smallfly 2. That makes me a...

Everything you buy on Wish is a rip off....

Flip, flip, flip, flip, flip, flip, flip,...

This thing really just about speaks for itself....

More leetle kneefses....

Hey! That’s not a balisong. That’s not even a folder. He can’t do that! Can he do that?...

My previous two Throwback Thursday knives have been related to my time in the BSA as a Scout. Today’s is no exception....

Mom, I want a Benchmade Model 42....

It is that day once more, my dudes....

Or “II,” if you prefer, since Bradley now seems to express their model numbers in terms of Roman numerals. It takes all kinds, I guess....

Kershaw, another of my favorite big brand knife makers, now makes a line of balisong knives. They’re the ones behind my really truly every day EDC, the Kershaw/Emerson CQC, and also the venerable Junkyard Dog and many others. Since I’ve always known them to make a decent quality and usually not too terribly expensive knife,...

Boker, one of the largest knifemakers in Germany, a county where balisong knives are illegal, now make a selection of balisong knives. I find this fact so deliciously incongruous that I just had to go and buy one. Boker is one of my favorite big name manufacturers anyway, and I am kind of the Balisong Guy. So it was really...
