Dame man, nice socks ^.^

I mean geez look at the trend here: guys posts vids wearing a hockey mask, next we have people sprouting up left and right that dont' even show their faces and wear grey pants and socks :P


OK i'm teasing, but in all seriousness that Boker looks like a nice assisted opening folder. What is it made of? (steel)

[Man of Iron]

AUS 6, framelock and zytel handle, comes with a flipper that acts like semi-guard but it's not assisted. Böker Plus CLB Trance SE, capable EDC for light tasks.

Regards the socks, I'm flattered. :D

[338 Stalker]

There workers alright. Sweet :thumb:

[miro44one]

btw. the Trance is AUS-8, not AUS-6;)

[Man of Iron]

It has to be said.

I EDC the SE Mini Com and Böker Plus CLB Trance SE. The latter one is only used because I know its limitations. On the other hand, the Commie is treated with dubious attitudes: I have great affection for it while keep pushing it beyond its limits by delibrate abuse. Can't quite remember who, but someone stated he treats his EKI like his ex, ergo giving it crap whenever possible. The sadder part of this is, I not only give it crap whenever there're suited occassions, I also create such, and sometimes just open a can of whoopass on it without any immediate cause.

The Commie was used to chop some amount of wood (including a small part of my desk because I felt likehttp://www.bladeforums.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif) and sporadically cut thin iron wires and sheets. Beside that, my clique had the nasty "ritual" to stab our blades on the tables we set at just for the laugh of it. Moreover, I've given it a full spine tap on a iron bar, twice. The only protection I wore was my skin, and I still shiver when I imagine what could go wrong.

In the past 8 month I've sharpened it more than 10 times, and by that I don't mean touch up. You can see it by comparing the front PE part to the smart portion of PE behind the serrations: they don't line up. Anyway, there're always bald patches on my left arm because I just couldn't resist the urge to feel the 154cmhttp://www.bladeforums.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif

The one thing that amazes me the most is the penetrating power. I've never expected such beety recurve could pierces as well as the accute point as the CLB Trance with aprox. the same amount force applied. Maybe it's the sheer mass behind the thrust (inertia).

Although it does have it's few small cons, compared to the abundant big pros, its my favorite folder to date. Maybe the holy 12 will convert me.(Lycosa, don't bug me with 7shttp://www.bladeforums.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif) All said, Ernie is THE MANhttp://www.bladeforums.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

Trances rule! :rockon: I've started carrying my drop point Trance again in the past week after giving it a couple months off, and I don't think I'll go back to anything else for quite awhile. :cool:

[Man of Iron]

sweet, betya you can't beat as much crap out of it as I did:D:rockon: wonder what DW's reaction will be when he sees these on BF.

Thecarotidpulse (http://knifetest.com/forum/member.php?u=80) the last pic is taken especially for you. Hope you agree my choices on footwears. ^^

LOL

I got a SUBCOM that I love. Boker CLB line is top notch for the price.

Really well thought out knives that can actually be carried and used and not just fancy,bulky, etc. But they still look pretty classy. :D

[Man of Iron]

Form follows function, it's the philosophy behind the whole CLB line.

[Noss]

yeah they look used. :rockon:
