I've seen more than a couple Griptillians around here. I guess it's a pretty good value for a Benchmade.
I have a whole set of Shun kitchen knives. Show ImageWhat you don't know about me is that I grew up in the backwoods of Canada without any electricity or running water. Our family homesteaded a farm in the total wilderness and we lived 100% off the land. I didn't get electricity till 1994. Oh how times have changed. haha...
Don't feel like taking a picture yet, but got a nice Benchmade Nimravus for Christmas, and I really like it. Tanto, OD Green, Combo blade in 154CM. Other than that (which is the pride of my tiny collection) I have a couple of cheap Gerber Folders, though one of those was my first knife, so I'm keeping them.Strangely, they all have metal handles.Here. Have a stock photo of the knife I have.Show ImageWhat I'd do for a Benchmade Folder, but AFAIK AXIS locks are illegal here in Texas. Same with Balisongs if I'm not mistaken.Damn Benchmade makes some nice knives.

Although I have a slaughter booth down in the back shed were I dispatch personally the delicious meat off the bone. Use to work in a slaughter yard when I was young, for about 4 years.I can't abide spending valuable cash, buying so-called meat from Coles and Woolworths when they sell only old rubbish masquerading as something that's edible. When you have a nice setup in the bush you can easily eat quality food compared to what most will touch in their life time.

There are a few organic farms around here that do some nice stuff and we just buy 1/4 of a cow and 1/2 a pig etc and put it in the deep freeze. Nothing like the moose and mountain goat I grew up on though...

i mean, why not hunt nowadays?
So I have a knife, will hopefully get a picture up later, however i'm offering a prize to anyone who can help me find what it's worth.. or decent information on it . The knife is a Bowie knife and it has a picture of a picture of John Wayne across the actual blade itself. Haven't been able to find it anywhere. Apparently it was a limited edition/official bowie knife.
What are all these knives needed for? Apart from.the cooking ones.

Axis locks are illegal in Texas?
Quote from: ComradeSniper on Sun, 05 January 2014, 23:48:30Axis locks are illegal in Texas?what is the reason to make a ****en knife lock illegal? and how is this enforced?
I should also specify it's illegal to carry a switchblade/gravity knife.
Quote from: inteli722 on Sat, 11 January 2014, 15:47:10I should also specify it's illegal to carry a switchblade/gravity knife.You can equally damage anyone with a ball point pen especially when aimed at the eyes or the carotid artery. Thank god the idiot pigs have never resorted to banning, carrying writing implements just yet .
My daily driver. Benchmade Auto Stryker. I have had this knife almost 3 years now.Show ImageIn order from left to right - Benchmade Auto Stryker, Emerson Protech Auto Tanto, Kershaw Breakout Auto, and H&K Scorch AutoShow ImageThe H&K Scorch has a pretty cool trigger mechanism.
Also, I did a bit of research, and it appears that, aside from local laws, Automatic knives are now legal here in Texas as of September! Auto Triage, here I come!

Auto Triage, here I come!Again you're living in the last place called FREEDOM, here where I live, pigs can stop and search you for anything that you're carrying and if they find any knife at all you're charged and taken down to the local pig-shop for further fines and questioning. If they do find you carrying any sort of knife it automatically gives them right to search your place of residence to locate any more so-called illegal items (all what's deemed illegal at the time - it always has more and more items on that list so that it guarantees them more easy charges). They don't need to work hard in getting convictions off the stupid and unintelligent.Trust me, better to not carry anything except a sharp metal ballpoint pen when you live here in Convict Town .
Do you mean something like:Show Imageor something likeShow ImageAnyways, yeah. glad the knife law here is less screwy, and I feel bad for you for having to put up with stupid **** like that.

I finally got my Griptilian! I love it! Such amazing quality. Love the Axis Lock.Show ImageShow ImageShow Image
Great, with autos legal here, I have another hobby to get into I'm thinking Auto Triage for any eventuality.
Quote from: inteli722 on Sat, 11 January 2014, 21:54:37Great, with autos legal here, I have another hobby to get into I'm thinking Auto Triage for any eventuality.Have you ever looked at Protech knives? http://www.bladehq.com/cat--Protech-Auto--68 They are built like a tank.The only issue I have with them is they do not put safeties on most of their knives except for some of the Emerson models. Don't get me wrong. Benchmade is my #1 favorite, but check out some of Protech's stuff if you ever get a chance.

It won't kill them but with their surprise and shock it gives you time to up the ante for the final hit. Not condoning killing anyone here just saying what can be done with only a simple pen.

It was awesome, and after some use the open/close mechanism was butter smooth. But, the black coating came off REALLY fast. I ended up returning it and buying a thule roof rack system.

I believe you could have even asked them to swap it out for a satin blade, instead, which would not have had the black coating to wear off.
