Double Agent II, Grivory Grip, Plain, Secure-Ex Neck Sheath Review

The DA-II is a light and very resilient product. It comes factory sharp to satisfaction and feels good in your hand. The rings compromise its portability somehow by making the knife feel larger than other similar designs, but they are the thing that make this design reliable during use. The sheath is another matter altogether. The material is disappointing and the locking system leaves something to be desired. It is not an instinctive system and it gets your finger caught when you try a quick draw; ultimately delaying it.I would also substitute the chain that comes with the seath for paracord on the first opportunity.

DELTA 31-396 6-Inch 3 Horsepower Oscillating Edge Sander, 220-Volt 1 Phase Review

I've revised this review as of 1/8/04
My sander arrived with the motor fan cover pushed in and rubbing against the fan. This was easy to remedy with a screwdriver. I'm glad I rotated the motor by hand before plugging it in. The outer cover to the grarbox was also dented. My local dealer immediately offered to repair or replace the sander with a new one. There were also several bolts and even a piece of bearing race found at the bottom of the shipping crate. I opted to keep the one I had because because the tables and fences were ground flat and true and "initial" alignment (see comments further on)was very good. The quailty and consistancy of the grind and polish was excellent.This is a big and bulky machine and it takes four people to lift it onto its mobile base. I used a Jet adjustable base rated for 1200 pounds. I had to cut a few inches off two of the adjusting bars to compensate for the width of the sander.Assembly was easy and so was belt adjustment. I walked the belt through several rotations by hand to check tracking. All seemed OK. When I turned the sander on it quiclky destroyed the belt. Visual inspection showed the the three bolts I had found at the bottom of the crate were missing from the underside of the sander where they mount the idler drum to the machine. I should have looked it over more carefully. Once installed and readjusted with a new belt installed, the tracking worked perfectly. My dealer sent out his service technician with the replacement parts and a new belt. He assured me that the bearing race and a couple of other metal scraps are not from my sander. My dealer also assures me that as long as they are in business, I will never have to worry about the warranty expiring.I was initially impressed with the way things line up. As long as the belt is not under tension, the auxilliary table is 90 degrees to the idler drum even when raised all the way up to the auxilliary sanding drums. Under belt tension, the table is off by a few degrees. There is no provision to compensate for this. I'll have to rough sand curved surfaces on this machine and do the final sanding on my Grizzly oscillating drum sander. Why would I not want to start out on the Grizzly? There is a certain economy to using the belt as opposed to an expensive sanding sleeve.

There is no oscillating action with these drums. All oscillation is done with the sanding belt only. The auxiliary sanding table which is made from heavy formed steel is at a true 90 degrees to the main table.The only other alignment problems that I see come from two areas. First of all, when you release the table locks to slide it in and out to the sanding belt, it is possible to push to table out of alignment. This would not be a problem for normal edge sanding operations but would pose a hassle when using the miter guage. A remedy is to take two small thin right angle metal brackets and loosly wedge them in place between the table and the belt as you move the table forward. Then set your table locks and you have repeatable accuracy. Don't forget to slide the metal brackets out befor turning on the sander!The other problem comes with the built in detent locking mechanism for 0, 45, and 90 degrees. Dissassembly revealed a burr on the end of the pin itself which prevented it from smoothly disengaging. It also revealed that the tip of the spring which thrusts the pin forward was lying in the cutaway wherein the pin retracts. I unscrewed the retaining cap on the pin mechanism and rotated the spring so that a flat edge now rested against the pin. This keeps the tip of the spring from jamming in the pin's raceway. It took some carefuI adjustment to get to detent mechanism to deliver a repeatable 90 degrees. It was worth the effort as it now quickly comes into square.You can forget about trying to view the indexing scale with the supplied pointer. For my pointer to be anywhere near where it is supposed to be it has to go all the way back against the indexing pin mechanism. Even then, It is impossible to view the scale head on as the motor lies directly in your line of sight. I'm going to epoxy a small mirror to a block of wood with a triangular cross section then epoxy that to the motor mounting plate. That will allow me to view the scale head on even though I'm viewing it at right angles from the front of the sander. It would have been very easy for Delta to do this or for them to have used a prism mounted in a similar way.This machine deliveres excellent results when sanding straight edges and that is what it is all about. I like the way the drum covers latch back out of the way so you can sand boards longer than the table. If I didn't have the Grizzly oscillating spindle sander and if the Powermatic had a longer belt and allowed you to latch back its guards, I'd have bought the Powermatic.

MTECH USA XTREME MX-8060 Tactical Fixed Blade Knife 7-mm Blade Thickness Review

I realize that some folks probably don't like Mtech because most of the steel is from China or because a lot of their products mimic that of another design. That said, their "Xtreme" line of knives is some of the most impressive stuff I've ever seen from them, and they are very much functional. Functional is all I care about, to be honest. That, and durability. I don't think there is anything in the Xtreme lineup that won't be durable. All of these blades are full tang, most all of them have good handles. I will take many of them over their counterparts which often cost three or four times as much.

That said, let's get to the actual knife.

Pros:

The MX-8060 is a solid, chunky piece of steel. It came reasonably sharp, if you're talking sharp enough to chop, baton, etc. Sharp enough to shave with? No. But I will soon see how well it takes an edge.

The handles are not as thick as they are on some of the other Xtreme models (such as the MX 8055 or the MT 520), but they are thick enough to be substantial and to assure good purchase upon the weapon. Why is this important? Well, I have big hands, but not everybody does, and the handles on a knife are a lot like the ergonomics on a pistol or revolver - if you don't like the way it feels in your hand, you probably won't use it...and if you DO use it, you probably won't use it as well as you'd like because it doesn't fit your hand well enough. These handles are good, the micarta is always a nice touch in my opinion, and the grooves translate well. Instead of specific finger grooves, they are kind of a "one size fits all" that allows different size hands to settle in.

440 steel is good enough for a lot of work, not as nice when it comes to holding and edge and some other things as say, 5160, 1085, or 1095 steel (or some of the other high end, high carbon steels), but don't call it soft - especially when it's 6mm thick or more. I don't have the knife in front of me right now, but I could swear it's 440C.

It's a "fitted" kydex (or it's equivalent)sheath that comes with this knife. Not only is this rare for MTech products, but it's even more rare for the big knives. I'm so glad it's not leather.

Style - I love a bowie style.

Cons:

Some will not like the sheath. Mine fit well, not making extraction of the knife or replacement an issue. That said, I don't think everybody's sheath will have the same quality control. And to be honest, I don't know how well this sheath will hold up. We shall see.

I'm not too hot on the finish. It's partially that "washed" look and feel to it, on the middle section of both sides of the blade. Almost like somebody forgot to finish up the polish job or something. I've seen this "feature" (if you want to call it that) on other blades, more notably some of the Schrade offerings. I get why it's done, I'm just not "sold" on the idea as a feature. I will say this, however - that will cut down on the reflection of light. Hmmm, maybe this isn't a "con" after all.

The price. I haven't used this knife for anything yet, but based on the specs, look, and feel it will do well with any tasks I decide to apply it to. I bought it because another version is MUCH more expensive and I didn't want to pay the money for that version. But $49? There are some pretty nice knives out there for that kind of money. However, Mtech HAS been putting out some nice stuff with this particular line of products and this knife may prove to be worth every penny.

Not sure whether the grooves on the top of the blade are meant to be jimping or some sort of serration, or what. They don't seem suitable to notching, maybe something else.

Or, we might see it selling for $10-$20 less in a couple of months. I'll take my chances and post something in reply to this after testing the knife out.

Due to looks, initial perceived quality, sheath, etc - I give it a firm 4 stars. After testing, I'll see if it's worth more, the same, or less than the credit I give it right now.
