My Orange Kershaw Tyrade came it today. It's a bit stiff and none of my bits fit the screw to adjust it. I guess it will loosen up with use. I put some Break Free on it. It's about the same size as the JYD II, but has a thicker blade.



Of all these Kershaw made knives, the Speed Bump is the fastest opening by far.



For years, like most outdoorsmen and bikers, I carried the Buck 110, and then the Buck Lite. But when Cold Steel came out with the Voyager and Vaquero series, I went with them. Voyagers are so light, you can carry a big one with comfort and ease. Knife snobs may not like them, but they perform very well for me in ordinary everyday use.



I never got into the Spyderco craze as much as some folks, but I have a few, and they are very nice for the money, epecially the Tenacious. I just haven't used them much.



These are some rugged outdoor knives from Al Mar, Ontario, and Blade-Tech. They have heavy built liner locks, except for the framelock BT Rijbak.



The Swamp Rat RT has been my EDC for over a year. It is slim and light. It carries almost as well as a Voyager with superior S30V steel. It was made by Blade Tech. Here it is along side the Rijbak.



Here are my Benchmades. The Skirmish is a brute of a frame lock. I would not fear to baton with it. The OTF Auto Infidel is not so tight. It's mostly a weapon. The Deja Voo is about the slickest opening liner lock I have seen. I like the flat ground blade and carried it for a while, until I got the Swamp Rat.



So here are all my big bad frame locks together. The newest is the ZT, which is just fun to fick open all day. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />



But even the frame locks look wimpy next to the CS Rajah II, my favorite woods folder. It can even chop. That's awesome for a folder.



Maybe next time I'll photgraph my SAKs, Gerbers, Bucks, Camillus, and others.
