Wah looks like this thread is all about knife haha

Anyway just want to share my EDC, as these are basically the items that i bring with me everyday, wherever I go (except to mamak/7e etc). I'm carrying them in a travel kit, some people call them clutch, or men's purse but I really find it useful to keep all my essentials organized

1- Tumi Slim Leather Travel Kit
2- Tumi Breast Pocket Wallet
3- Tumi Delta Money Clip
4- iPhone 4
5- Xiaomi RedMi 2
6- Xiaomi 10kmah Powerbank
7- Business Card holder
8- Car key

I never bring a knife before and never had a need for it but after reading in this thread i kinda feel it is gonna be useful.. Or should i opt for multitool?

It looks like it uses ball bearings instead of washers at the pivot. It should be very smooth and easy to flick open with one hand using the thumbstud.

After reading properly, "blade retracting without even pushing the unlocking lever" <- when opened all the way or just half way?

When opened all the way and hearing it lock, the blade must not retract without engaging the liner lock.

i think he meant the blade will deploy even with the slightest of touch

retract la, he said blade lock is loose.
so one day the knife will probably cut away one of his fingers.

Actually the blade is not fully locked to its position..my bad.. tongue.gif
Need to push it a bit harder then only it will lock

the environment im in is must wear pants one.. jeans or quick dry pants
i guess u r right also haha
gerber expensive to appeal rich scout boys tongue.gif

below rm100 folder u can get from thomastool.com.my
they have reputable brands, but of lower end series too.

but i get u. dont think much first buy first later only got mood to learn more biggrin.gif

uh oh

even knife experts dont recommend folder for very heavy use because no lock quite very sturdy as fixed blade, this one really dangerous le.
strictly for apple peeling then. cut guava also cannot sweat.gif

i bought a little higher than that for USD22 which is around RM90 with free shipping at ebay

they sold it locally for RM200++

what a ripoff

i read that review too but since im mostly will be in an aircond environment i dont think it'll matter much

paraframe mini is small no doubt about that

when closed it was only 3 inches and the blade is only 2 inches

but it was currently my favorite edc knife

here is the size comparison paraframe mini with my gdc skin tech
