    I got the Vision FG Damascus, and my wife loved it so much she got one. Then we bought one for my daughter and I dyed the scales different colors for each. I also bought the murdered out version for a friend’s birthday. Absolutely an awesome knife. By far my favorite knife under $100. I only have a few knives I’d rank higher, and the were at least 2-3 times more expensive.

    Nowadays with all the awesome crossbar lock and button lock knives coming out I am not sure why you would buy a liner lock knife, not only your finger is always in the path of the blade which is quite inconvenient, but also it is quite less fidgety compared to the crossbar and button locks. I would prefer one of these two mechanisms for my EDC knife all day every day forever rather than liner lock, which is also among the weakest locking mechanisms too. :)

      @gtgibb 10 месяцев назад

      @@dabeaniebeaner my cons are mostly nitpicks, I'm used to right hand tip down carry and the vision is tip up only.
      The lock is cool and seems strong, but requires different muscle memory than the liner and frame locks I'm used to.
      I chose it as my first left handed knife, so neither of these is a big deal to me.
      If I had it to do over again I wouldn't get the black coated blade, not really a con, just preference.
      Is it a good first knife? If you are left handed, definitely. If you are right hand, I'd say probably but you might want something with a more typical lock type.

    @MrTuffCookies 10 месяцев назад

    I love the Kershaw Blur so much for so many reasons, but my state bans switchblades and there's case law that classifies assisted openers as switchblades. I also can't get past the freaking recurve. Like... how long have they been making the Blur, and they can't just give it a regular drop or clip point blade? I suck so bad at sharpening tantos for some reason, and I have no interest in sharpening a recurve. I'd rather just spend the extra and get a Code 4 around $75-90ish. I'm also kinda surprised the Begleiter didn't make this list, coming in at like $90, currently only $75 on Amazon, for the XL model with 154CM. It took a couple months for some lock stick to smooth out on mine, but now there is absolutely zero lock stick and it feels so insanely smooth. I normally don't do bearings, but this one feels like Benchmade washers. It's so smooth I actually had to crank down the pivot to slow down the action lol. If anyone wants 4" of 154CM, the Begleiter XL is a banger and for $75 is absolutely mind boggling.
