Hahahaah. I agree on both counts. The hammer is a good idea because it wouldnt be considered a weapon if it were to be found in ur car during a search. Ive got a couple swords as well but im kinda found of blunt force trauma

Clarifying for PP: the hammer would NOT be considered a weapon

[pillowPANTS]

Oops, thx Doug. Fixed

Desert ironwood scales arrived and I've installed them.

[seawolf]

Gorgeous. That's a stunning knife.

[mclaincausey]

Thanks! If anyone wants scales from this dude I can hook you up with him. He does other knives and woods. This is a presentation grade piece of timber. All his stuff is. Love it.

What do you guys think about the Pro Tech Godson?

Hard to find in Germany. Maybe I will order one via austria.

[DougNg]

They have an ok reputation, but if you ask Seul…

[Seul]

Mine were Böker Pro-Tech collabs… It was Böker that fucked up... Non-existant customer service...

[daynym]

which one did you have? I am lookin for a nice automatic.

[Seul]

Runt… I forgot what model exactly... The spring snapped three times in about two years time... Böker did not respond to my plea to fix 'm... They were still under warranty...

[daynym]

Sucks

Found the godson for 250€ in Austria.
That is pretty much. But I Fell in love with the Snap and the shape of the blade.

[Seul]

Come on man: you can get a 2ndhand Reeve for that money… I used to be into autos as well, but nowt beats a folding knife...

[jdl1279]

Looking for a lockback hunter, about 4", any suggestions?

[daynym]

which chris reeve do you recommend?

[Seul]

I have the Sebenza (small) and the Ti-Lock… The Sebenza is the perfect everyday carrier... The Ti-Lock is a tad more complicated but so beautiful...

I wouldn't be able to choose...

[derivative666]

Ti-Lock is his masterpiece

[mclaincausey]

Haven't handled To-Lock, but I'd have to call Sebenza his masterpiece based on pioneering framelock and establishing a whole new popular locking mechanism industry-wide. Plus he didn't design the Ti-Lock.

[derivative666]

CR designed the Ti-Lock w/ the Hawk bros.  His knives are nice but there are many manufacturers that do it better then Chris Reeve. I have had every model of CRK. His knives are expensive and for a bit more money you can get a superior custom knife.

[mclaincausey]

I think it's a masterpiece. It's easily user serviceable, it pioneered a terrific locking mechanism that took the industry by storm, has a great Spartan aesthetic, really nice blade designs and grinds, world-class pivot, and built to outstanding tolerances (measured in micrometers) for a manufactured blade. $0.02

Oh, and I'd add that no one stands behind their blades more than CRK. Any discussion of cost relative to other makers has to include that fact.
