I decided to splurge on a new knife, figured this will see 100x the use of my other knives anyway

Waiting for arrival of Ferrum Forge Gent in rosewood scales - should arrive Friday



Titanium liner lock, CPM S35VN steel, 2.4 oz . Planning to replace my current EDCs (Boker Urban Trapper or CRKT Ripple) and figure the drop point will be more versatile. For <$100 it looks like a pretty amazing deal. Not sure I'm gonna love the clip, but it looks very stealthy with the deep carry (will look like a ball point pen in the pocket)

Picked up a Kershaw Barricade (8650) off of Amazon for <$25. Inexpensive rescue knife: seat belt cutter, glass breaker, flipper + assisted opener, no lock.

However, in order to do that you have to pull the blade towards you but the initial impulse (at least is was for me) is to go in the opposite direction and to close it like a normal side opening knife. Can't do that and I spent several minutes trying to figure out why the knife "wouldn't" close. I won't be surprised if others "complain" about this "defect" when they finally get their knives but can't figure out how to close them. LOL!

Needless to say, I will not be carrying the Provoke very often if at all. It's an interesting knife and I'm going to keep it but compared w/my Bastinelli/Marcaida Pika (that I am currently carrying) it's like comparing a Porsche w/a bloated and overloaded Suburban. Just ain't no comparison.

I haven't bought a CRKT for ages and it was a fixed camp knife (Sawtooth 2000) that they sold with a decent leather sheath for $20 or $30.

Thinking about it it, I probably never had a CRKT folder.... if I did, can't recall or the memory is blocked out.

CRKT, Boker, Gerber... I don't buy anymore for some reason. I guess there's no reason to change now.

Just ordered a Buck 112 Automatic.

MSRP is $200 and I got it for only $100 because a very nice CalGunner gave me a 50% CRKT discount coupon. A review to follow but suffice it to say for now that I'm glad that I only had to pay $100 for it.

Def a great price on it! How do you like the action?

Got more GEC Bullbusters/21's - have a couple matching 71/21 sets now. ^^^^Green and orange theme^^^^

Good looking knives. Where did you buy them? CK? Thanks.

Picked up a ZT 0450 for $150 on Amazon.

Any tips to make sure its legit and not a copy?

Besides look and feel, fit/finish... I'll post exact weight for you later. Should be about 2.9 ounce, but I'll weigh mine. Great little knife.

Those aren't great "beater" knives. Those are great knives period. Knives don't have to to tacticool and expensive to be good.

No argument here. It's a term of endearment - 'beater'.

Did their job on 4 huge wild pigs today.
In fact, it was an 'all hands on deck' outing.

Knocking on 4 years. Those knives have taken, ahem, a real beating. We use them in the garden, field and boat. We've used them to dig up root vegetables and great for weeding the garden too; real 'beaters' those knives. I'm not sure if I'd dig around the dirt and weed with any of my other knives. Besides why would I? That's what my 'beater' knives are for. [emoji16]

As I've said before they clean up real well.
