Thomas Vogt replied to Keelen Grimm's discussion Tactical or Tacti-Cool? in the group Tactical Collectors Club

"I think a lot have good points have been made, so I'll try not to be redundant. knives are interesting in that you definitely get what you pay for...to a certain extent. A $80-$100 benchmade is going to superior in many ways to a $20-$30…"

Thomas Vogt replied to Keelen Grimm's discussion Favorite Blade Steel?

"Interesting point about S7, Tom He's right, of course, that in most cases S7 is simply too soft for a knife steel (better left to things like entry tools). The fact that Scrap Yard Knives can make such a fine blade out of it shows that it does…"
