PING FlKnifeMaker...

[TruWrecks]

Still haven't heard back about the h.org custom we asked you about FLKM?

 

[PACIFICBUSA]

COOL!!! I know a celebrity! The skirmish looks pretty damn fine....as do the rest of your knives. I remember browsing around on that website, and then I saw that knife.

Looked at it and said: "Hey! I remember someone making a knife like that! Sonofa...is this fool copying him?" The more I looked at the knife, the more it seemed like it was yours....so I had to ping you.

Fuggin awesome, though...

I was in the market for a knife, but because of my line of work, I needed something tactical....something quick. Ended up getting a Smith & Wesson Automatic...tanto blade with combo edge.

Very sweet....rock on, brother!

Celebrity?? I still take out my own garbage and sweep my shop floor!! Celebrities get vacations too, I think.......

The 630 was first and formost designed as a tactical knife.  The blade opens very quickly with one hand. The open lock, frame and backspacer design allow for quick cleaning of any debris that might end up inside the frame that would cause lock falure.  The handle is pointed on both ends (skull crushers) to be used as in impact device/kubaton in the closed position.  The false edge on the top of the blade along with the main edge are combined to provide a very strong tip. Lastly, they are available with a black blade and bead blasted (grey) Ti. frame for much more subdued look than the standard model.  Personally, I'll take a recurved blade over serrations but that that's a personal taste

oooh......

I like!

How quick does it open? Can I pull and flick outta pocket or do I need to pull and then thumb?

 

[PACIFICBUSA]

tell me more about the recurved blade, though...I'd prefer serrations for cutting thick materials quickly...ie rope, nylon straps, tangled stuff.

With a little practice and break in, you can get it open as fast as an automatic knife. No need to touch the blade, just FLICK!!

As I said, serrations are a personal thing. Personally, I hate them on a knife. For rescue, a hook type cutter is best anyway so you don't cut flesh during a rescue. Benchmade also makes other rescue knives with fully serrated blades and blunt tips. The recurved blade allows for the most cutting edge in the overall blade length, that's the method of my madness there!

Compared to most knives, the blades on the 630 and 635 carry alot of weight towards the front of the blade. This is mainly due to the shape (profile) of the blade and how the bevels are ground. This increases the blades "flickability"

That's easy...........

This has been figured out long ago on the knife forums.........

First you pick up a knife magazine. Point out a few of the customs knives in the $2-3,000 range. Show some interest in them on the internet, etc. THEN......you "settle" for the $200 factory knife

Just remember, though, it works both ways. Knives are an addiciton. The $200 knife is the first step towards buying expensive custom ones.

OR... Instead of going out and Buying one you can go to a very talented individuals while on a ride on his Busa and just "borrow" one for a week then take it back and exchange it for another!

'Course you gotta get by a couple dogs bigger than VW Busses but Hey, I never said it was a GOOD plan!

 

[mjn]

DAM! FLK, you are one talented sob! Those knives are beautiful!
I have been collecting folding knives for ever. have some really cool, old stuff..(old Schrade auto) and a few hand-done newer ones...but nothing that has the look of your stuff...

Do you have any models that would be considered "pocket knives"?.... I love the small lock blades. My Al-Mar osprey was my fav, intil I broke the tip...

damn, dude......I wish it was that easy.


I tried something like that once...I said "Look, honey! Wow!!! This is an awesome --(object X)--....very good quality, very good bargain!"

She walks over, says "here, lemme see that magazine. Wow...you're right. It looks pretty awesome. In fact, I think you should buy it right now! RIGHT NOW, you hear me?!?! RIGHT......NOW."


I trusted my gut instinct and passed on the purchase. Something was telling me it wasn't going to be pretty.

 

[mjn]

Been there....done that!

and you are right.....she was being a bit sarcastic:O

'cept my purchase wasn't a 250.00 knife.......it was a 12,000. pickup.
Didn't keep it long!

 

[PACIFICBUSA]

yeah....the "loving" relationship between the wifey and I. (rolls eyes)


Oh well....mebbe I can sneak it by her or something...

 

[FL Knifemaker]

All kinds of knives, firearms and watches pass right under my wifes watchful eyes. Never really raises an eyebrow. Now if the UPS man leaves something for the Busa, she's ALL OVER IT.............AND ME
