Those are both nice, J.J. I like the extra touch of the lanyard and skulls.

Not known much to carry a "Tactical", but this is a favorite of mine;

Here is one similar to the M tech except it is made by Frost.

A Frost Cliff Dweller TD006-40. I assume this is one of their 100 knives for $100 knives. They go online for anywhere from $5-$15. It was given to me along with a about 30 or so other Frost products. This was one of the…

Billy, We probably did get it from the same place, if it involved $5 flat rate shipping.
Jan, so far about the only thing it has cut up is a some cardboard. and it did that with flying colors straight from the box. I've only…

I bought this Imperial scout knife on ebay last week. The scales have shrunk, but otherwise it is in good shape. The funny thing is I bought it from a scout troop trying to raise money.
Billy Oneale replied to Tobias Gibson's discussion 'Tacticals and Search & Rescues knives' in the group BOX FULL OF KNIVES
I have that one, Toby. I haven't used it to see how good the blade is. I couldn't resist buying it for the price point I bought it at. We probably bought it from the same place.

I like that style, not too fond of G10 but it has become evolved since it was only ugly orange. This green is a great color. Tobias have you used the Magnum? I am considering one for my son but dont know about blade quality
Tobias Gibson replied to Tobias Gibson's discussion 'Tacticals and Search & Rescues knives' in the group BOX FULL OF KNIVES
The no frills Boker-Magnum "Groovy" It has G10 scales and a Titanium coated 440 Stainless blade. I think the bearings are teflon coated. Either way it opens fast and easy with a simple flick. Very nice for a $10-15.
Tobias Gibson replied to Tobias Gibson's discussion 'Tacticals and Search & Rescues knives' in the group BOX FULL OF KNIVES
Very nice, Jan

Jay Sack said… Thanks for replying to my coment on nail splitter knives. I placed a part of a business card in the knife slot for the stubborn blade. This works a little because the knife does not completely close. The only problem is that the very tip of the knife protrudes out a little. I can open and close it reasonably easy but it could damage a pants pocket if used as an EDC. I could use a knife pouch to solve that problem. However, I will simply display this knife as part of my collection. Like most collectors I have several knives to choose from as EDCs.
