You've asked about my Spyderco; well, here it is! You'll see that I'm pretty opinionated about the pocket knife I carry.

@codyaustinpemberton , Yeah, I agree that most of them are not that cool looking. To me, though, there's a certain "coolness" in something that functions so well, which is why I didn't resist Glocks for very long. That well-placed, incredibly functional hole in the blade is beyond cool for me, especially whenever I pick up a folder that doesn't have it. It's like picking up a bucket that has no handle or something.

the benchmade 550hg griptilian also has a round opening hole. it was the first benchmade i ever had and it was a pretty exceptional knife. i am a spyderco lover though, they make good functional knives. i have several and some are pretty fancy but, i really like the plain old enduras, delicas, and the natives if you scratch it up it doesn't matter, it's a work knife made for the working man.

Hi Hickok45 I love your vidoes and this one made me laugh so much. I first started watching you about two years ago when I lived in the UK but at the time I could never imagine that one day I would have the freedom to be able to own and shoot some of the guns that you have tested in your videos. Then I got the chance to escape from the UK and come to your great and free country to live and work and I am able to experience the joy of owning and shooting some of the guns that I've seen you use in your videos. I love the Spyderco Delica and have one myself (jail time in the UK by the way!). I just wanted you to know that you can get Benchmade knives with the thumb hole which I also prefer and they make some great knives too.

In the UK it's considered possession of a deadly weapon. If you have a good attorney you might slip with a fine, but if you have anything else on your criminal record, you're going to jail. Europe is fucked up.

@Draknareth 7 жыл бұрын

Not correct. UK knife law simply states that we can carry "without good reason" a knife with cutting edge less than 3 inches that is a non locking folder. In other words, you can carry what you like (assuming it isn't a banned weapon like a balisong or push dagger) as long as you have good reason to do so. Going camping and doing some bushcraft? 4 Inch fixed blade is not a problem.

A tip on deploying a thumbstud knife is to flip your thumb like you would if you were flipping a coin up in the air. Like how you put your thumb tip under your index finger before you flip the coin, you do the same but instead put your thumb on the thumbstud. The thumbstud should be under your thumb nail, about 1/8 to a 1/4 inch under your thumbnail. Then flick your thumb like you would with a coin. They also have flipper knives that you flip like a light switch and others with a button or an axis style lock which are pretty sick as well. But I love spyderco so you still on the right path.

I love the VG-10 steel to because I can get it razor sharp and it keeps and edge quite well. It is so light in your picket you forget you even have a knife until you need one and then, just like you I reach in to my picket and fish it out of all the other junk I happen to be caring in my pocket an cut what I wanted to be cut with out even thinking about opening it or anything, it just seams to be open already.
