    materials for custom knives question

    I’m trying to get a better understanding of material but could not find this particular material for handles - Westinghouse or antique Westinghouse? What is that? Seems like a creme/yellow material that looks beautiful and people say it’s expensive? Can anyone clarify what this material is...

    Quality of materials vs show

    Interesting stuff, RedLed. I'm still intrigued by custom knives and how these guys make them - and then their worth on the resale market. Of course, I know an object/product is only worth as much as someone else is willing to pay for it. A maker I ran into is Robert Carter. His...

    3 or more knife makers - opinions

    Wanted some opinions or comments on these custom knife makers - are they very common or actually hard to get a hold of? I care about resale value as well for these custom knives. I'm looking for a Damasteel blade and carbon fiber handles, maybe Zircuti bolsters if possible. - Sean O'Hare -...

    Quality of materials vs show

    How about the resale value of these custom knives? Friends say many custom knives will retain their full value, or even increase in value. But buying a not so well known in the community maker won't necessarily help with that.

    Quality of materials vs show

    I went to Curtiss Knives website (curtissknives.com) and those are very nice! Seem like exceptional construction. Although getting the blade and handle in other colors will increase the price at least $85 more. Like you said, reviews look good. Anyone on here have a Curtiss Knife?

    2nd light: another Fenix PD35? or Streamlight Protac, Nitecore SRT7GT

    I love my Fenix PD35 and seems to be a best all-around. Dropped it 10 ft onto a concrete and a tile floor and no issues. Due to me starting to get addicted to flashlights, I'm looking for a second flashlight to keep around the house and to illuminate around the house for checkups, in the...

    Quality of materials vs show

    I've gotten suggestions to get a custom knife for the quality and they said "usefulness?" Am I missing something on the quality point? Do they mean the details and show or the toughness of it? Some of these custom EDC knives are well over $1000. Not sure I would carry that around all day -...

    Which flashlights have a red and blue strobe?

    As a follow-up to my own question, I asked 2 friends in a nearby neighborhood who are knife/flashlight collectors and they both have a Nitecore SRT7. One of them has had the unfortunate experience of hearing a sound late at night near their back porch sliding glass door and used the SRT7...

    Which flashlights have a red and blue strobe?

    Interesting thread on which lights have red and blue strobes - but was wondering the usefulness of this feature of you are not an LEO? Would it be to scare intruders or people on your property away? What are some other good reasons to have a red/blue strobe feature on the light?

    Fenix TK35 Ultimate Edition 2018

    Amazing review! Thank you so much for this and pics. I have a Fenix PD35 and was wondering exactly how the TK35 fits into my needs. Definitely helps with pictures. I'm also tired of these custom flashlight and companies coming out with exotic metals and ridiculous lumen numbers but they...

    Knife vs Multi-tool perception

    For a while now, I alternate between carrying the Swiss Army Champ and the Spyderco Persistence (which is the smaller version of the Tenacious). Considering I've even showed people how many tools the Champ has, including many sharp and "dangerous" things people be concerned about including the...

    Flashlights to keep around the house - frequent T-storms cut out lights

    Not necessarily - rechargeable lithium ion is fine also. I just like lithium for the temperature tolerances since I want to keep lights in the crawlspace and garage. Thanks for all the suggestions so far! Those Streamlight ProTacs do look nice.

    Flashlights to keep around the house - frequent T-storms cut out lights

    I love gadgets and gizmos! I'm looking for a powerful flashlight to keep around the house that uses lithium batteries for shelf storage purposes. I used to have an Inova X5, and recently bought a Fenix PD35 and love it. Use it mostly on high instead of turbo and what a powerful light! Good...
