No Knife No Fun on Instagram

Hello fellow knife friends,

As you can i see i stopped posting on the blog.
I will let it active but won't post much.
Still No Knife No Fun lives on but on another platform.
At the time i started this Instagram didn't exist but now that it does i believe it was made for me.
I love it and my Instagram page is starting to have a following.
So, if you want to keep reading but mostly watching some cool pictures just follow me on Instagram at @noknifenofun.

Hope to see you soon ;)

My "lucky" Skyline

Hello guys,

Long time no see!
Today i have to talk to you about the most special i own, the Kershaw Skyline.
This is the model 1760S30VCF wich features CF handles and an s30v blade.

I've had it for 2 years or so and i like everything about it. The weight, materials action and everything else but none of that is what makes it special for me.
This is a knife that brings me luck when on the job.
I shit you not.
My job is a bit taxing on the mind and body so the knife is a tool for me.
However, everytime i carry the Skyline everything goes smooth. Not a problem in the world it seems.
Still, this is not my favourite knife so sometimes i store it so i can carry others.
Big mistake.
Wether is a flat tire, something i forgot doing, problems with co-workers, there is always something that makes my day rougher.
Specially when i carry the small Insingo, now that's when the shit really hits the fan.
With the Skyline, people help me out, i receive good news, man... it's unbelievable.
So, the last few weeks i've been on a cheapo kick carrying my Sanrenmus 7010.
Lovely knife, wich i may talk about at some point, and the work kept piling up.
Things weren't going my way at all and i was exhausted.
One day i got home tired as shit.
I was thinking about my day wondering what the hell was going on and then it struck me. I realised i haven't been carrying it for months.
Two days ago i picked it up and went to work...dude, night and day! Night and day.
Way less to do, things going smooth, no hassles at all!
By this point you might think I'm crazy, wich i probably am, but it's undeniable.
Everytime i carry my "lucky" Skyline to work things really couldn't be better. It's amazing!
Keeper!

Cold Steel - a new and an oldie

Hello guys,

If you've been following my blog you already seen posts regarding Cold Steel knives.
I've had many expensive knives but cheaper, good quality knives are always welcome.
I like a good beater knife but if you can add cheap to strong as shit then i'm sold.
That's the case of Cold Steel.
The blade steel, for now, isn't the best but i've come to realize that it's enough for me.
AUS8 doesn't hold it's edge forever but you can sharpen it pretty easily so it's fine.
Now, what really draws me to CS, the very first thing i think about when the brand comes to my mind is the Triad-Lock. That's the strong as shit aspect i refered to previously :)
Even though it's a backlock, it functions very good and the blade folds freely when you press it.
What i mean by that is, unlike other backlocks that have a very rigid action you don't need two hands to close the knife, wich is a big plus in my book.

That's the case of my new Mini Recon Spear Point:

I had the Mini Lawman but it ended up being too...mini.

This one's better for me.

Same materials but a bit bigger with the prefered size of a 3" blade for EDC.

Now, of course it came with the black coating CS has accustomed us to so i immediately stripped it off.

It's so much nicer without it. It even comes stonewashed!

Ths knife's been edc'ed and used a bunch.

Really grippy, nice feel in the hand, smooth action and very stong lockup.

So, what else is new, right?

That leads to the other new knife i'm going to talk about.

Well, not new but rather an oldie.

A first generation, CS American Lawman.

You must be thinking: "Great a knife i've seen here before and on a few other places a bunch of times".

Well, this is not an American Lawman like the one i had before.

Materials are the same of course but it has a few differences i like better.

First, it has steel liners.

The G-10 version is lighter wich is a feature i like but this one feels better in the hand with the extra weight for some reason.

This makes the knife even more solid and you can customise it by making some new scales.

The blade has jimping, a very subtle stonewashing and came polished from the previous owner.

Now, the big difference for me is the ergonomy of the handle.

I sold the G-10 version because it had a more broader handle wich for me wasn't very comfortable.

I have medium/small hands so when gripping it i couldn't really wrap my fingers around it.

Here's a pic of the old one to make more sense:

Now with the 1st gen. Lawman:

G-10 version:

1st Gen:

So, to sum it up, Cold Steel releases some really good products and i'm a fan.

Granted i don't like all Ninja like knives they come out with but i've always been impressed with the overall quality of the ones i bought.

If you're looking for something tough for EDC, camping or whatever, Cold Steel is a brand you should take a look at.

Hope you enjoyed it and remember, No Knife No Fun :)
