What kind of folder do you carry?

[woodysone]

I saw this recently as well Casinostocks . I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it.

As am I Mat. So you push the tab on one side to extend the clip?

CPM M4 G10/Ti military, an XM-24, and a victorinox on the end of that fob.

This thing has really grown on me (Wano bolster release auto)...great lines and ergonomics. I think it might need a swedge though...

Today it was my trusty HOLD OUT 1 FULL SERRATIONS

While trolling the GD earlier this AM, I came across this slip joint to which existence, I was completely oblivious of. I went ahead and pulled the proverbial trigger as my first 2020 knife purchase (therefore goes outta window the resolution to remaining frugal on knives!). More than this knife itself, I wanted to see and feel the the ingenious retracting clip system.

FWIW: I used to be infatuated with the CRK Impinda for a while but the lack of easy availability plus the price tag go of $450 retail if lucky to find one were both prohibitive to me. The LionSteel Thrill in Ti plus M390 may very well be a poorer man's substitute ($200 for Ti, $120 for aluminum scales - scales avail in multitude of colors) for a higher end slip joint such as the Impinda. I dunno, we shall see but that's my excuse! What's yours?

Stock pics till I get it in hand:

This looks similar to the ROK from lionsteel. It had the retractable clip. I was really interested in it but never pulled the trigger. Some reviews scared me off.

Nice! I keep a plain edge tucked in the bottom of my bag for an emergency kitchen knife

i received mine yesterday but haven’t had the time for doing some glamor shots. I’ll try to find the time mañana

Yes it is the same retractable clip system; basically as you hold the end bit of the Thrill between your forefinger and thumb, the thumb pushes in that button with the LionSteel logo which pushes the spring action clip forward and in the pocket she goes. It is a very clever system but you know, a button and a spring are involved so what could go wrong?

I am glad that I went with the Ti version albeit quite a bit more expensive as opposed to the aluminum models, because I like a bit more heft in the palm of hand but YMMV.

Cold steel folders are sweet. Hold out 1, xl voyager, xl espada. I want em all.

I love ironwood...it's such a great EDC wood. That stuff is 22 years old and still looks great, I just gave it a light buff with some carnauba wax

 

[Siddhant]

^ wow thats a real beauty

 

[WValtakis]

Blasphemy for sure, but these two that live on my belt really will more than handle everything a normal day will throw at me (not saying there aren't some others in the pockets).

^^^It's nice to see someone carrying and using a nice custom. All too often, they sit in display cases or safes.
