Even more knives
« on: June 12, 2024, 03:03:56 AM »
Monday I got 2 of the The MILSPIN Magnus Utility Knife 2.0 (Aluminum) knives. I already had 2 of the original MILSPIN Magnus Utility Knives in Brass, but they just came out with the new Version 2.0 in Brass and Aluminum, so I bought 2 more. I'm giving the 2 old ones to my friends, one of whom carries a folding knife that uses utility knife blades. They made the original in aluminum, then one of the guys in the shop knocked one out in brass, and everyone liked it so much they quit making the aluminum version. But I love the new one in aluminum. It's practically weightless when you stick  in your pocket, and the brass one was a touch heavy when I wore it on a lanyard around my neck. Plus I kept getting poked until I put a heavier spring in it. Here are the old, and new TOOL-LESS DISASSEMBLY/REASSEMBLY versions. After taking it apart and putting it back together a couple of times it's second nature. It's so easy a grunt could do it. <-- patent pending ;D  And it seems to lock into all 3 positions more solidly. I forgot to mention it carries a spare blade, included, in the handle!

I also got 3 knives from Olight Monday, an OD Green Spurdog Everyday Carry Folding Tool, a Rubato 2 Folding Tool with OD Green Micarta Handles, and a Rubato 2 Folding Tool with Carbon Fiber Overlay. The weight of the Carbon Fiber over aluminum is halfway between the Micarta and solid aluminum versions. The Rubato 2 has a 2.93" blade length, and the Spurdog is 2.99".  The Spurdog is also available in Gunmetal Grey, which looks almost black in the pictures. The D2 steel drop point blade boasts a HRC58 hardness and is coated with black titanium nitride for a matte finish. The 6061-T6 Aluminum Alloy Handle has a "grenade pattern" grip that feels really good in the hand and should be secure. It has assisted-opening and flicks right open with the flipper. The 2-postion lock that's only on one side was stiff to operate at first, but okay after I worked it back and forth for a minute. I'm not using the lock anyway.  It's my new EDC knife for now. The Rubato 2 is so slick, all you have to do to open them is point them up or down and pull back on the double-sided rail lock. The blade will just flip open and closed by gravity. The blade is made of 154CM stainless steel. For anyone unfamiliar with Micarta, it was the wonder material of choice for knife scales and gun grips before G10 came along. It's made of linen or paper, etc. and thermosetting polymer resin. The carbon fiber Rubato 2 looks really nice but polished carbon fiber is too slick. It's better to look at than carry.

I got the OD Green Spurdog and OD Green Micarta Rubato 2, along with a Warrior Mini 2 Compact EDC Tactical Flashlight - Black, all for 40% off as members only special offers. And got the carbon fiber Rubato 2 as a tier gift for buying so much merchandise. I didn't know if I would get the carbon fiber model or the Micarta version that sells for the same price, $5 more than the aluminum one. I'm glad they didn't give me a Micarta knife like the one I bought, instead of the carbon fiber. I would have made a stink about it if they did. All 3 knives came with a cleaning cloth and a nylon case with a small pocket inside it. The Spurdog came with a Velcro patch, and the Rubato 2s came with a challnge coin in the pocket inside the case, each one in a different color metal. Photos to be posted later. I folded the cleaning cloths into thirds, then in half, and tucked them into the little pocket of all 3 cases.

And I got 2 Otacle EDC Utility Tools - Doughnut color. I got one for a dollar extra when I bought the Warrior 3S High Beam Tactical Flashlight- Stars & Stripes Edition on sale, and got one in a package deal with a Warrior Nano 1200 Lumens Tactical EDC Flashlight - Black that was on sale. it works out to getting it free and the flashlight for over 37% off, or something like that. The Otacle EDC Utility Tool is shaped like a lion with its mouth serving as a bottle opener, and the utility knife blade coming out of its mouth too. And it has a mini pry bar/slotted screwdriver, and 1/4" hex wrench you can use as a lanyard hole when you're not driving bits with it. I have 2 pouches for them on order, which left Washington, D.C. a few hours ago. The Otacles and their pouches and spare blades will be gifts for my friends. That's not what they expect for a baby shower gift but it's what they're getting, along with a couple packages I already have wrapped up, and a bunch of diapers.
