kojak Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Finally got an everyday pocketknife I'm happy with--a Viper Keeper:Â Â Â Size and weight are right in the sweet spot, and the blade guards work as both a flipper and "wave feature". Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cannonfodder80 Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 No love for the older blades? This is my grandfather's knife he was issued while in the Royal Navy in WW2. It showing its age but I'll probably be in worse condition at that age Despite the wear you can still see his name on it The year of production on the blade Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 ^thats ace! Â My dad had one, from his dad, but since he passed away, I can't find the bloody thing anywhere. I remember him showing it to me when I was young, it was cool Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cannonfodder80 Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 I'll get some better pics up to show how worn the blade is Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Without doubt the cheapest, throw-away ACM item I've bought in at least 2 years or so. Â Â Â Was placing an order at UKMCPRO and they had them on sale for a tenner and I wanted to be able to tell people that I own a Smith & Wesson. Â The very tip of the blade was actually bent right out of the box and the spring loaded metal bar that presses against the locking spine (apologies for my lack of proper nomenclature) was pretty badly rusted. Â The grip serrations aren't even full formed, the flash around the inside of lanyard loop hole wasn't cleaned out anywhere near fully, the handle and blade shape is useless in terms of choking up for more precise work yet it's far too small and weak for heavy duty stuff and the clip is poorly positioned so it sticks far too far out of your pocket. Â All that said, the thumb studs are solid and work well when opening, the rubberised finish on the handle is very comfortable and sticks well to your skin, the bowie profile (I think... closest match I could find), black metal finish and the little text/emblem details just make it look a little bit cool; at least for a parcel opener.

shmook Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 You would have done better to fold the tenner in half, and use that as a knife instead... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Yep. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 I suppose it at least gives you a platform to practice sharpening, and a loaner/beater blade! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Surprisingly, it's actually quite sharp. Â Shaved a few hairs off without any trouble. Â To be honest my reasoning was pretty simple. Â It's more than 3" and locks and I've got UK carry-legal Spydercos already, I just wanted something that cost so little I didn't have to care about so I could abandon it on a side table, use it very occasionally to open airsoft deliveries and add another cool looking little conversation piece/interesting widget in my room. Â Obviously not impressive to anyone who knows about knives, but I've met more people in the UK who know some stuff about guns than people who know anything about blades. Â It's the sort of thing that the lads I work with will pick up if they're ever in my room in the barrack block, examine in a tentative fashion, put down again without saying anything, then some time later on say "you scare me" in the break room.

scorch Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 My bare *albatross* doesn't have pockets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 What scorch said. I sleep in the buff too, and I'm not that desperate to keep a blade on me to stuff one where the sun doesn't shine. Â Surely there's no need to sleep with a knife on you. Bedside table if you must, but there is no "OMG I NEED A BLADE RIGHT NOW" moment in the world to warrant one on you when you sleep surely? Â Plus it would dig in if you rolled over on it...
