Dicoria Folder in the style of the LionSteel T.R.E. – The Free Franz

https://franz838.wordpress.com/2016/03/04/dicoria-folder-in-the-style-of-the-lionsteel-t-r-e

I may toil under your chains but my freedom endures. Dicoria Folder in the style of the LionSteel T.R.E. March 4, 2016. March 4, 2016. So, here comes a little knife that is about as perfect an embodiment of “the modern gentleman folder” as possible. It’s based on the celebrated and famed LionSteel TRE (for Three Rapid Exchanges, as there are three ways to open it: flipper, thumbdisc and two handed). Insane value for anyone looking for a rather original, modern looking, flipping/flicking yet very elegant ...

January 2017 – The Free Franz

https://franz838.wordpress.com/2017/01

I may toil under your chains but my freedom endures. Pictorial of a Budget G10-D2 Clone of the Coordinal. Quick pictorial of that great little big knife. It’s a G10/steel version of the 3D machined titanium Coordinal. Obviously way cheaper, obviously not the same quality. The D2 blade is very sharp and very well ground. The handle is made of blued steel liners (I suspect the blue comes from a varnish/paint and not from…. So today, despite the cold and the snow, the postman finally delivered! Libertarian,...

Clone of the Spydie Native in fluted titanium – The Free Franz

https://franz838.wordpress.com/2016/06/10/clone-of-the-spydie-native-in-fluted-titanium

I may toil under your chains but my freedom endures. Clone of the Spydie Native in fluted titanium. June 10, 2016. Here’s a quick and dirty… Chinese clone of the Spyerdco Native in fluted titanium. This is a smaller knife (and thanks to the designers for the design of the blade, allowing not to “choke one” for precise tasks but simply to hold the knife in a full hand grip. So great little piece of pocket jewellery that happens to cut like hell. What’s not to like for an EDC? 4 Comments Add yours. And cut...

The Christmas Bunch (plenty of sharp steel for the holidays!) – The Free Franz

I may toil under your chains but my freedom endures. The Christmas Bunch (plenty of sharp steel for the holidays! January 4, 2017. I’ve certainly been a good boy this year as Santa had plenty of stuff for me… A Chinese Santa! From top to bottom, the Spyderco Farid K2 clone, the Magic Chav, the Titanium Spyderco Paramilitary 2 clone, the Firebird/Ganzo G758-B automatic and finally the Ben’s XM8 (inspired by Enrique Peña’s Diesel, in smaller). Great looking by all means. Overall a great bunch. I’...Benchma...

May 2016 – The Free Franz

https://franz838.wordpress.com/2016/05

I may toil under your chains but my freedom endures. Clone of the Zero Tolerance ZT 0630CF. Very quick one on this knife that I did receive quite some time ago already, and that I’m a bit ambivalent about. It’s a folding frame lock built after the ZT0630, which is itself built after some Emerson knife (with the agreement of the marker). As the CF in the name suggests, it comes with….

Kershaw Blur in dark blue and black washed S30V (Massdrop exclusive) – The Free Franz

https://franz838.wordpress.com/2016/06/12/kershaw-blur-in-dark-blue-and-black-washed-s30v-massdrop-exclusive

I may toil under your chains but my freedom endures. Kershaw Blur in dark blue and black washed S30V (Massdrop exclusive). June 12, 2016. June 12, 2016. Here, I included in the picture one of my watches, a Borealis Sea-Dragon, which dial is silvery white with dark blue accents. I wear it on a deep blue perlon strap, almost the same colour as the handles of the Blur, nice coincidence! So nothing clone, or Chinese (it’s a Made in the USA Kershaw) but still, Freedom! 4 Comments Add yours. Liked by 1 person.

Kevin John Venom II, the M390 version… Killer original Chinese flipper – The Free Franz

https://franz838.wordpress.com/2016/11/26/kevin-john-venom-ii-the-m390-version-killer-original-chinese-flipper

I may toil under your chains but my freedom endures. Kevin John Venom II, the M390 version… Killer original Chinese flipper. November 26, 2016. The first distinguishing feature is the carved carbon fibre scale that comes on top of the titanium scale presentation side, and hides the pivot. It does not fully cover the titanium but creates a very grippy yet elegant and comfortable pattern. Blade centring is obviously perfect, the floating backspacer includes/works as a lanyard hole. The pocket clip is 3...

June 2016 – The Free Franz

https://franz838.wordpress.com/2016/06

I may toil under your chains but my freedom endures. Kershaw Blur in dark blue and black washed S30V (Massdrop exclusive). Some quick pics of that very nice EDC piece. The assisted opening (Speedsafe) is nice, even if I generally prefer the good’ole flip or flick method. Only problem, the thumb studs are very aggressive and there is a minimal amount of lock stick sometimes. You could also argue that the gripping material on the handles….

I may toil under your chains but my freedom endures. Review of Microtech Anax Clone, integral awesomeness. February 9, 2016. February 9, 2016.
