Solid list for sure. I wish all budget knives gave an option to pay a few more bucks for titanium pocket clip. Or the seller provides a pocket clip upgrade option to add. The one thing most fall short on is their pocket clips.

The Raccoon is next on my list of knives to get. I was going to get it the other day, but then I found out about the $25 Civivi at Walmart so I had to get that real quick (which that's a fantastic knife for the price). But the raccoon is the next knife I'm going to be getting (probably the crossbar lock version)

I'm really glad to hear you liked the top liner lock Raccoon as much as you did. One of the reasons I've hesitated to buy a crossbar lock Raccoon is that I'm not much of a modder and I wouldn't even be comfortable replacing an omega spring. Does a top liner lock knife have any kind of spring that might have to be replaced?
@Elnavajeroedc
@Elnavajeroedc Ай бұрын
The top liner raccoon doesn’t have omega or any type of springs so they are very easy to do maintenance on. 👍🏼

the only spring in a top liner lock is the liner itself, which isn’t a spring in the way you’re thinking of but it is technically a spring.

The stop pin on my vision fg is just about sitting at the sharpened edge. I used to use the hell out of it but I don’t think their nitro v is done very well. I’ve sharpened it maybe ten times cuz mine is pretty chippy. Took me a while to realize it but honestly I can’t say I didn’t get $80 worth of knife out of it. Just disappointing when they do that. If it wasn’t for that the blade would have a ton of life left.

I picked up a Kizer Assasin for my pops for his 80th birthday. I wanted to get him a nice American made piece but honestly he wouldn't appreciate it and if you know actual Boomers you get it. But I also picked up a crossbar lock Raccoon for myself (since the top liner lock is sold out of course!) and I might actually give him that instead. The Assassin is a flipper button lock and the action on it is kinda weak. I'm gonna ask my sons which one they think he'll like more.
