I like that they've added inserts on the wire cutting area. Nice touch.

I just think this kind of shit is odd as fuck...a knife's a knife! yeah, there are certain types, but reading the way you all talk about them is ridiculous.

I'm not saying you're wrong for having them, you're just bad geeks about it. Knifeweilding geeks at that.

So..... giiiiit out? I don't see how any of this is any more ridiculous than talking about bikes, or cars or firearms.

its a cultural learning exercise for us wimpy pussy brits. because we arent allowed guns over here, we dont have to worry about owning shotguns to defend ourselves against other people with guns.
sure we have gun crime in some areas but in most places we dont.

theres so many idiots over here, if you could get hold of assault rifles and shit over here, then yes, i probably would have a shotgun because theres no way id trust other people with guns.

its a different world. personally i dont know if id feel comfortable living somewhere where i had to own a personal arsenal just to feel safe in my own home, but then youve all grown up like that so yeah its a different world.

enjoy your guns and knives and all that, i dont get it but meh if i get to fire a real gun one day perhaps itll click and ill understand. i like playing computer games where you shoot people, i dont reckon i could shoot another human though except in extreme circumstances (id have to shoot legs and arms, couldnt live with myself tearing someones organs up) and im vegetarian so no use to me for hunting

I think that's great that a lot of you don't need, or feel the need to have them. As many many many firearm owners say, "its better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it". Its a small expense and that piece of mind is nice. If someone is climbing in my window I'm not waiting to find out if they are looking for food, money, clothes, a place to hide, or rough nonconsensual sex. I can't stop them with my charm, but a 12g or 40S&W Hydra-Shok will. Immobilizing them would be ideal, so obviously the legs and/or stomach would be a good choice, but you never know if they may have something you don't see. Shooting their legs will will surely aggrivate an attacker enough to cause them to shoot back, or charge with a knife, or even their hands. Hear the recent story about the guy getting punched once and dying? You never know what might happen. Two to the chest and one to the head will get you out alive. Nobody wants to shoot anyone, its not a matter of desire to hurt/kill, its a matter of desire to come out of a situation alive. Nobody wishes to be put in any sort of situation where they'd have to make that choice but i'd like to know if I am, I have options.

Most of the retaliation to "the brits" in here is simply because most have entered, talked shit, added nothing and left. Its especially annoying with said troll knows nothing on the subject aside from what's in the movies.

what's the main function of the first one?  looks odd to me.

Carving wood usually but some use them as backup knives since they are small and light. I like it since its under 2" and I can conceal it here in CA legally. Its the best looking/feeling small knife that I've been able to find and I really like Todd Begg knives.

I'm liking the more robust style that Couch and Yacqueli posted.  What is the advantage of the composite blade on that JYD?

Does anyone have experience with Lone Wolf knives? Specifically the Blackfoot?  I'm not against paying more for a higher quality steel.  I want this sucker to last.

The G10 Scales are amazing! G10 in general is great stuff, and the checkering they did feels really good. Grips when wet and isn't too rough.

The two part blades utilize a harder, longer wearing and more expensive steel (CPMD2) for the blade edge and a cheaper tougher steel (still great stuff) (Sandvik 13C26 stainless) for the backbone of the blade. Helps keep things sharper longer, tougher and cheaper.

This is what Kershaw has to say about the JYD II

DESCRIPTION:



The new made-in-the-USA Junkyard Dog features stainless-steel construction for heavy-duty performance. The blade is Sandvik 13C26, a stainless chromium steel that provides high hardness and excellent corrosion resistance. The handle of the JYD I is 410 stainless steel for impact strength and corrosion resistance. The JYD II has lighter weight G-10 scales attached to a sturdy steel frame. A new one-handed, index-finger opening system first builds up pressure and then pops the blade up out of the handle for easy deployment by either left- and right-handed knife users. A locking liner secures the blade in place, while a removable pocket clip keeps the JYD close at hand.

Made in the USA
Steel:     Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel

I normally shoot in weaver:  In the Weaver stance, the body is bladed partly sideways in relation to the target rather than squared towards it. The elbows are flexed and pointed downward. The strong-side arm is slightly straighter than the weak-side arm. The shooter pushes out with the gun hand, while the weak hand pulls back. This produces a push-pull tension which is the chief defining characteristic of the Weaver stance.

Same here, and with a high thumb hold.

Fun time at the range today until some guy started doing some wild west revolver spinning on his finger next to us. We packed up and left soon after.
