What's the goofy tool all about?

Nah, put it in your tackle box of truck console.

At this point I think we need pictures. . . of you, and the dog.

Oh yes, the knife too.

I've got a couple of those Eafengrow knives, and for general knock about knives they are pretty decent. Dunno what model you've got, I don't think I've seen one like that.

Triangle-head fasteners are meant to be tamper resistant simply by virtue of the matching sockets being rare, sorta like tamper-resistant Torx (the ones with the pillar in the center of the bolt head) back in the day.

I first remember seeing triangle-heads used to screw original Nintendo game cartridges together back in the '80s and they have gained quite a bit of popularity in the electronics, automotive, and household goods sectors with any products the manufacturers dont want you tinkering with.

Some of the screws in some gunners' kits for spiking your ACW era muzzle loading cannon had triangle head screws...….

That's more or a less Microtech SOCOM copy. Microtech uses those type of screws on many of their knives, but not the SOCOM. Microtech calls them tri-wing screws. They also sell bits for them that will fit in a standard driver.

I have used the "tanto" type blade, prefer drop points, though the tanto blade makes for a good scraper and the point is great at piercing. If that Chinese knife is made from D2, you may end up liking it. This is a EAFENGROW CH 3504 $35.00 delivered Chinese knife.



This has a D2 blade, G10 handles, and I have no complaints. I like this design, I like D2 steel, and I like the construction of the knife. One thing I like about G10 is that I can grind the left grip smooth. I carry a knife between the belt and my butt, and I don't like rough, sandpaper, or wood rasp like grips which rub my baby soft cheeks raw. Now while the D2 CH3504 is not made of titanium or S35VN,



but instead of costing over $100, you can get it for $35.00 delivered. That is a darn good price for a darn good knife. Eafengrow has a $32.00 tanto version, delivered, that is far more radical appearing than yours, and it has a D2 blade. Go abuse the thing, you may find that you like it.

To show how bad I am at pattern recognition, I thought the grip pattern on the S35VN knife was a coast with a harbor. I just could not place where. Someone here had to point it that it is something entirely different!

Well, FWIW, the blade is marked D2...
