Knifemaker Les George puts function before anything else. It makes sense why: a former marine, George understands the importance of a good folder—not to mention he’s got more than 22 years’ experience making them Read More
Jesus, please upgrade your base steels , if this was a D2 or 154cm and stayed below the $40.00 level I think Kershaw would make out in the end , but the 8cr with a crap shoot on the fit and finish, and the damned assisted opening ( the budget knife negative trifecta) just bury a nice looking design from a well known maker for me.
Why would you make a blade that is just .1 inches longer than the legal limit in most places? Either keep it under 3 or go for at least 3.25 in. Also with all fo the D2 offerings out there at this price point, it's not such a great deal.
Nice knife - only thing Im a little disappointed about is the handle in photos it looks like a stonewashed or similar stainless but in reality it has a grey paint coating that is really easy to scratch would have been much better if it had been just a finish on the stainless itself rather than a fragile coating
No deal at all. For this price there's too many great options out there. Look at Civivi(less than $40 after 10% discount from certain retail site), Tangram, Real Steel, Bestech, Ruike etc. IMO the only reason you should buy this knife is if you absolutely love the design and the look of it.
Are there any Texans around? If so, tell the crowd how to pronounce the name of this knife in the proper Texan way, which is not, btw, how a Spanish-speaker would say it. I think I know, having asked my waitress at the restaurant in Seguin, TX how to say it, but I'd rather an expert handle it--i was only in Seguin long enough to eat.
Well, that's how you would say it with a proper Spanish accent, at least a Mexican Spanish one, which is the only Spanish I'm familiar with. But it's not exactly how my waitress at the Johnny Reb Cafe in Seguin, TX pronounced it (some 20 yrs ago now). She said it with a short "u" for the first and second vowel sounds, so it was: "suh-GUHN". I also heard it from other less-drawly Texans as "seh-GUHN", but even they didn't say it with the long E, like the Spanish word/name it is, which means "follower", I think, or maybe just "follow"? I'd check google translate but I'm lazy. The name is all over Texas because Señor Juan Seguin was the leader of group of Tejanos who fought for secession from Mexico, and helped to establish the independent Republic of Texas. He's probably most famous as the luckiest man at the Alamo, i.e., the one chosen to sneak through the lines to deliver the famous (in Texas, at least) "we shall never surrender!" letter and plea for assistance from the Alamo commander Col. Travis. To Seguin's credit, he did come back with cpl hundred men, but the fighting was over by then.
I spent a lot of time working in TX, mostly in San Antonio area; what always cracked me up about Texans was how they just ignore inconvenient letters in Spanish place names. Like the I in Seguin, or my favorite, the county San Antonio is in. It's called "Bexar County", which is pronounced "BEHR", that is, just as one would say grizzly BEAR. Just pretend that X isn't there. Or the famous Battle of San Jacinto. Every other Spanish name that starts with a J Texans pronounce with the proper H sound, but "hah-SEEN-toh" over-taxes the drawl, what with the long E and too many consonants, so now it's the Battle of San "juh-SIN-oh".
