How does the Black Ticonderoga compare to Mirado Black Warrior and the Palomino Blackwing?

Less dark than the modern Black Warrior, though the pencil is finished much better. It does not compare to a Blackwing (any of the three) in darkness or smoothness. But these are not $20 a dozen.

I would get the black. It will make it "richer" black. The black nubuck gets slightly faded in places and this will make it look better.

Much better than a Walmart machete(I've owned several of both), and a little better than any surplus machetes I've seen.In my opinion, Cold steel doesn't have the best machetes, but they're the best for the price.

Three darts, flights and shafts. Case and shafts suck. Buy the black mariah for less or go 85 percent tungsten for $4 more. You won't be sorry. Good luck.

Mine is called blackbird sk5. I am not certain about the wilderness or hedgehog.

hi...The original roller racer 5000a is amazing..very high quality and smooth performance...my 4 yr old granddaughter and all the neighbor kids love it....can't compare it though as I've never had a flying turtle....

I had both the black one and the silver one....both are the same. Depends on what color you want. The silver one is the first edition...so you might be able to get a better deal. I liked the black one because it matched every thing I had better. Both operates exactly the same. Be aware you will need to adjust the pedal switch to operate correctly on either one. See YouTube

The Robust and the Companion Heavy Duty are basically the same knife with a different color pattern. The Companion MG is also basically the same knife, but with a thinner spine. Any of them are fantastic as far as woodworking or bushcraft go, although I prefer the regular Mora Companion MG in carbon steel personally (I like the thinner blade because it seems to cut just a little bit easier). As far as sharpness goes, they will amaze you, and they are easy to sharpen, look up "Sharpening a scandi grind" on YouTube or Google.

Get the regular Blackwings or the Pearl. The 602 is a bit harder. In any case you will love them....best pencil I have ever used.

I don't have the mcpx but from what I've heard I think the nano cpx is a lot more twitchy. If you've had some experience with fixed or collective pitch then the nano cpx would be a good choice. If you're looking to get into fixed/collective pitch then go with the mcpx

I've had mine for over a year and I've gone through whole packs of Ticonderogas. This bad boy sharpens like a beast, as always.

The black one is the newer 2014 model and the red one is the original 2013 model as far as I am aware. The other poster is correct, the red one has wheels at all 4 corners, but razor found that this made the cart unstable during sharp turns and while getting on or off so they replaced the front wheels with stabilizing posts. There is one other HUGE difference though. Look at them side by side in photos... the battery for the original red model is mounted behind the seat and as a result, the seat is much closer to the steering wheel. The black one is much better for a larger child (or a child at heart) because the battery is in the housing with the motor (not great for replacement, but way better for comfort) AND the seat has additional mounting holes that have been drilled to move the seat back an additional inch or so if needed when your child grows. I don't know if the red one always comes with a seat belt, but regardless of model, you can purchase a seat belt very inexpensively via razor's website. If you are an adult and are thinking of buying one of these, your only choice is the black model as there is literally a 4 inch difference in seating position. Your legs and groin will thank you! I am a 200 lb. male and I have the seat moved back on my 2014 version black Crazy Cart. I'm a little big for it, but not uncomfortable at all and let me tell you, this thing is SUCH A BLAST to drive around the neighborhood. I hope this was helpful. Enjoy!

Yes, Trail Tech 722-A00 is the all black model. Make a request for Amazon to carry it. If enough people request them, they will stock them. I myself am holding out for black.

The black is definitely stronger. It also has more texture which helps keep items from sliding off.

Never mind. I just found the answer elsewhere that the gritty feel is only on the black model. Wist I had known that before buying the red.

The BK2 has a heavier blade than the Blackbird, making it more suited for heavy tasks such as chopping. The BK2's blade is also thicker than the Blackbird's, making the Blackbird more suited for fine tasks such as making feather sticks. The BK2 can be used to produce sparks from flint or chirt because the blade is carbon steel, and it's easier to sharpen in the field. The stainless steel blade of the Blackbird is lower maintenance and will hold it's edge longer, but may be more difficult to sharpen. The Blackbird comes with Micarta handles which are nicer than the black grivory handles on the BK2, and sheath that comes with the Blackbird; though generic and sloppy, is more versatile. I think the pros and cons of each knife make them more or less equall, so it boils down to personal preference. I chose the BK2 because I wanted the heavy work horse. Oh, there's also a bit of price difference. The BK2 is less expensive, the trade off for the cheaper sheath and handles, I suppose.

Bertha, the difference in colors is handedness. The red cutter is shaped for righthanded folks, the black is the reverse angle for left handed folks. And, btw, it really does work! Their rotary cutting mat is excellent, too.
