Face - the blade does look just like on the LMF.

Nick - glad she liked it! Thats ol' Jesse at his best!!

Same deal with the balisongs.

Good to see you Dan!

I have looked at those Gerbers but haven't bought one because I haven't heard anything about them.
I'm a sucker for big military knives like that.

Balisongs are fun - I wasn't ever very good with them, but they're neat.

I actually got this thing thinking that there was a "public safety" exclusion to our knife laws... Well, there isn't! I know several firefighters and cops / reserve cops that carry them, so I figured I'd be good. Looks like my only real saving grace is the Military. I may have to re-enlist in the Guard just so I can continue to give this thing some use! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

It edges out the large Spydero Manix as my favorite large folder... hands down! Its solid. I really, really, really wish they made them in plain edge. And, again, I wish they made them in "assisted opening" with a thumb stud as well as full auto.

The tanto reminds me of a folding yari.

Darn, as the owner of a Manix I know thats a hard thing to do.
I MUST have one now. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I love my Manix!

So do I, I like the foliage green scales on mine.

I just picked up a carbon fiber and s90v Millie and I'm having trouble deciding which I like more.

At the 1st Norcal Bussekin Meet, I got to check out a Strider something with the digital camo. That was a beautiful knife, but for the money, I'd rather get Manix or ZT300.

I just got my Benchmade Doug Ritter mini Grip in the mail. Very pleased by it. I like the blade shape and the stone washed finish looks really practical. I really couldn't decide between the Grip and the mini Grip, but I'm glad I took the mini. It carries really well and is very light - I can even carry it in the waistband of my boxers. The Grip would have been that little too big. I think the S30V is turning out to be a good steel, so I think it will last a long time. The action is like butter and the lock seems strong. I hit the spine a couple of times on the kitchen table and it didn't budge. The blade locks open with authority and there is absolutely no play in the blade. It also centers perfectly when closed.

Overall, the best made folder I've owned to date.

Here are some pics.

That's a nice one.
