I Wanna Talk About Deez
Published: 3 years ago
Thought this could be fun, but I've selected some knives from my collection that I wanted to blabber about a bit.
First one up is the Boker Magnum Rangebuster... Usually I completely ignore Boker Magnum offerings as most aren't worth bothering with, but this one has a decent looking damascus blade and snakewood... that and most Boker Rangebusters I see are vastly more expensive, whether they be Plus or Soligen. It shows it's a little rough around the edges, but still nice. The branding is a bit loud on the blade though.
The Lovebird, TS216. I was worried as I saw a couple people want to trade them for larger knives, but it still intrigued me. Turns out, this thing is great. It reminds me a lot of the QSP Parrot which many of you know I have a soft spot for. It's cool to see a wire clip. It's a bit springier than Spyderco's offering, but still nice to see.
TS229 Megalodon. Another Jelly-Jerry in this video. I picked this up for a decent price. White Mountain Knives had it cheaper than the Aurora, which was in 14C28N. The ergos on this are MUCH better than the Aurora which seemed to have a lot of sharpish corners. The blade being canted down also makes it nice for starting cuts.
TS301. Mazwan Mokhtar. I got this one after the TS304 which had some translation issues between the design and the implementation. This one is fantastic! They're using their better micarta for this, and it's seamless with the CF bolsters. For larger hands, this feels great with a hammer grip, and the ramp makes it equally so for the saber grip.
