Hooplehead I have never seen that brand Raid-Ops you posted however it is one of the most interesting I have seen in a while. I found a few things on line however no first hand usage reports.

Can you tell me about this knife....do you use it often and how do you like it? I am seriously considering buying one of these designs. I am most curious about the sharpness. It seems to be a brute of a knife and being so thick does it hold an edge well?

heres a few threads with more info:
RaidOps Little John
RaidOps Soldier Spirit German
LCG Gear sheaths

i LOVE my little john. one of my fave knife formats, and the little john is awesome. ive used but not abused it yet, so cant really speak to it much. but the feel, weight, ergonomics etc are all spot on. i want another in the M2 steel. i probably wouldnt recommend the Dynawood handle, its nice but not as durable as G10 or micarta.

the SSG well it was a looong wait for it, and during the wait my needs and wants and requirements changed a bit, so by the time it got here i already planned to sell it. ill put it up in the marketplace soon. but i wanted to stick with small knives, or huge ones, and this was kinda in the middle. just bought the Busse NMSFNO so theres the biggie. plus the new Spy007 is wearing the wallet a bit, so unfortunately it has to go. have not used it at all, but its a beast for sure.

its CPM S30V steel, so its got a nice edge and should be fine, if you like S30V...

KiM is great to work with and makes great stuff. more here. i also have a Pocket Mate and UDT Rail from him. plan on getting another Little John (in M2, although i dont see it on his site right now), a Ti skull or maybe a Spartan (too cool), and probably a Comrade at some point.

I like S30V . Just that I like 3V a little better...

Thanks very much for the links hooplehead.....I searched online and never thought to search within our own forum for this information. I really like that LJ3 Claw by the way.

Here's a few of my new Strider DDC DGG SMF RG SW T (lessee... Dwayne Dwyer Custom, Double Gunner Grip, SMF (model), Ranger Green G10, Stonewash S30v custom blade,Tanto)- LOVE the blood grove, and the flamed Ti frame is shades of green, tan, brown, etc.:

I previously shared a Hinderer Ti Extreme Duty flame anodized in brown and gold for a nondescript appearance....
Here is Hinderer Ti Extreme Duty flame anodized in predominantly purple for a more colorful, yet understated look...
Beautifully finished, this pen is not only a looker, but a ergonomic user for any condition, anywhere...

Very nice pen! I have the non-Ti version as EDC...

This is pretty tame compared to most of the pictures here, but this is the best of my modest collection.

I finally got a decent quality digital camera (Olympus D-595 thanks to a great deal from BUZ in the Marketplace), and this is the best knife/light picture I've managed to get so far. I got this one in focus, with just the right glint on the edge of the blade. I've discovered that working with an autofocus only camera can be a pain, especially in low light.

I always carry a Strider and lately it has been this RCC. I picked this one up recently and it has really grown on me. I really like recurves but this is my first tanto. The two grinds meet to make one giant serration. I haven't had the LS20 long but I carry it everywhere now.

[kevin_d'marie]

How's that strider working out for you??

And is it hard to sharpen?

Thats because I use my gear I don't set it up on a little Hollywood stage to take pictures of.

Has it not occurred to you! that maybe people use their gear but also take care of it.

And just maybe the pictures you see are old pictures taken when the knives and lights were new

I was just playin around..

Taking a nice pic of your gear can be very rewarding!
I have seen pics that I have taken on other sites because they look good and its a good representation of the product.

I want my stuff to last a long time, and if it doesn't HAVE to get beat up while using it, then I will take extra care to keep them nice.
Over time the dings, scratches and scuffs will happen, and I'm fine with that. But unlike my friend that uses his Snap-On ratchet as a hammer...I will use the proper tool and keep my gear nice.
