Hi guys.

Look what ebay just brought me :cool:

blade retention in the sheath seems very good,
sharpness is mmkay for the thickness and tiny blade profile
and i will go to a cobble during lunchbreak and have two studs
punched through the sheath holes to permanently fix it to my
biker wallet.

Whatcha think?
any1 else got exp with this lil sticker?

That's one of Dirk Pinkerton's designs that Myerco produces. I've handled them, but don't own one. Myerco has done a good job producing them.

The little knife is Dirk's interpretation of a classic small Japanese Kogatana.
 
Where did you get qa biker wallet with credit card slots?I have the medium with zippered pocket and 2 large pockets with 2 credit card pockets.
 
thx guys. I´ve been palyin with it all day... another to packets came .... opened nicely.

The wallet is ebay, too. I figured after 20 years of wearing my small
bikerwallet out ( bought on a country fair in appalachia ´93)
it´s time to be grown up .. and get one with card-pockets.

i guess you have to browse through american sellers, who sell
lots of different styles of biker wallets ..:confused: sry.
 
Mp7 - I'm interested in SD knives, but I'm not well versed in using them, so a little help please - I'm not getting the big picture about choosing this particular knife.

It would seem that a neck knife would be used as a SD tool and this one, while it looks minimalist in design and is easily concealed, appears that it could cause harm to the user in an SD scenario.

If used in a forceful stabbing manner (you said, "lil sticker", not lil slasher) the tip could hit bone and the almost non-existent gripping capability of the handle would most likely allow the hand to slip forward (especially if perspiration was present) and without a guard would put the user fingers sliding on the blade - not good. :uhoh:

Am I wrong about this or did you have another use in mind? Thanks.....Doc
 
Hi Alibi,

..actually it is a tool, that could add a bit of effect
in handtohand SD situations ....

I don´t carry it as a weapon, but for when i need piece of sharp steel.

by putting your pinky through the coordloop
you extend the grip - this woirks very well for it being so tiny.

In SD i would always use a knife as surprise block-tool.
Pain that the opponent does not expect can give an advantage.

Cheers, Mp7
 
Mp7 - With your explanation about the use of the cord loop it makes more sense now as long as your paws were not so large as to put your fingers in close proximity to the blade. Thanks again.....Doc

I went with one of these Bokers for when I don't want to carry another knife, but feel naked without something that cuts. It's thin and fits in a credit card slot. It isn't much of a defense tool, but how often do you use a knife for defense, and how often are you opening boxes?

NoAlibi,

The blade isn't a self defense design. The Japanese use the shape as a small woodworking and carpentry marking tool. I've seen similar styles as scribes for working softer metals. Dirk just adapted the design to a neck knife so that you could carry a small simple shard of steel that you could use to make holes in things and to cut things. It is about as simple as a piece of broken glass, but there's elegance in such simplicity and it does cut. It is without the expected features you'd want on a focused self defense tool but in a pinch it would be better than nothing at all.
 
I've been thinking about having someone make a kydex credit card-sized sheath for an Emerson La Griffe to keep in my wallet, but I haven't been able to find a La Griffe to replace my last one in the last nine months or so.
