Why the fuck are all the best knives that Nick Shabazz reviews out of production

Loaf · September 10, 2018, 06:47:30 PM

I fucking hate this about the EDC community. You see something cool, and it turns out that it was some limited run bullshit for knife fetishist hipsters. The Grimsmo Norsman, Spyderco Slysz Bowie, Graham Knives Midtech Razel, millit knives version 2 torrent, Chris Reeve Tilock. Every fucking time I see a knife which I'm like "wow, that looks really cool, I think I'll buy that" it turns out that it's out of production. The only thing which looks decent is the Spyderco Paramilitary 2, but that thing is unnecessarily enormous because of the inefficient way it was design, and not attractive looking at all.

I'm thinking about going with a Spiderco Delica with ZDP-189 steel as my first serious knife, but I'm also interested in a lot of what Zero Tolerance makes. Benchmade would be cool, except for the whole spring that breaks which Nick mentioned, which sucks because I hate sending things in to get fixed EVER.

You're acting as if a thing like Loaf has the physical capability of using a weapon like a knife

you're into butterfly knives, right? What are your favorite knives of any type?

Loaf · September 11, 2018, 11:12:07 AM

I can't even see a single knife that looks good besides this one called the ZT Sinkovich 0450. I want a modestly size knife with good flipping action, a decent steel blade, simplistic and durable build quality, and no plasticky bullshit like the Spiderco knives. Nick Shabazz didn't do a review of it, he just said that it satisfies his desire for a good flipper which is why he sold his benchmade.

Loaf · September 11, 2018, 11:38:23 AM

Okay, so it turns out Nick said the ZT Sinkevich 0450 is a gem and up there with the top 3 best edc knives of all time, with the benchmade and the spyderco, and that it has the best action, which is really important to me. Couple that with the reasonable price, the badass "murdery" aesthetic, and full metal - this is the one. My first choice for a serious EDC knife (because the grimsmo rask is too expensive).

i adore the benchmade 940, the GEC #15 Barlow, and any high end balisong

Just ordered the ZT Sinkevich 450 in titanium. It should arrive by tomorrow.

Loaf · September 11, 2018, 02:43:25 PM

I think I'm set on owning a Grimsmo Rask or Norsman after watching reviews of it. If it's below 700 bucks that's definitely doable.

Loaf · September 11, 2018, 08:05:58 PM

I'm on the waiting list for a Grimsmo Norsman. We'll see if it costs around 500-700 to see if I can afford it.
