Kinda hard to see in pictures, but I had John at BGM thin out a Siren for me. He did real nice work and fast to boot. Bye-bye makers marks — it’s a slicing machine now.

Like!

I think everyone waited for the sprints/exclusives with "better" steels...

Yup, that was me... I was hoping for Cruwear.

Thanks! Yes the one in the middle is the KSF red linen micarta with the glass blast. The PJ is S45VN, the inlays are both Magnacut. I really like the glass blasted finish. I discovered that the added cost for the glass blast unfortunately nudged a large inlay Sebenza or Inkosi over the A$1000 limit,...

Thanks Rick… I still have to form an opinion on the usefulness of tantos in the real world, but on the Inkosi and Umnumzaan it looks the business! I read a comment somewhere about the Inkosi’s angular blade and curvy handle that went something like, “The Inkosi Tanto is the perfect combination of se...

All the blade shapes!

Survived another massive missile attack and blackout in Kharkiv...

Stay safe mate!

Cutlery Shoppe and LynchNW Rex-45 exclusive. The dark ti finish and polished edges are quite striking. I like the extra bit of weight too. I am still a novice when it comes to CPM-Rex-45.

I regret that I missed out on this one, because of tough competition at the time with other sexier sprints. The larger Shaman is a worthy alternative for me though. The stone washed blade and clip and contoured scales give it a bit extra. It came out tops for hand comfort during a backyard cut test ...

Mine was perfect.

IMG_4767.jpeg My first knife i acquired from the caly/calypso family was this one second hand 3 or 4 yrs ago. It’s been kind of a beater knife or at least turned into one, around the time i was very new and inexperienced with my sharpening technique and ended up grinding some of the belly of the bl...

Slightly uneven bevels are pretty common on these mass-produced non-custom knives... You can make it look perfect during the first sharpening. You will most likely also see improved edge retention after you get rid of the factory edge. You can still sell it as mint as long as you don't carry or use ...

I bought the FRN UKPK in 2017. It was fine, but as soon as I got my hands on the HH G10 version, there was no going back. I generally prefer G10 over FRN or FRCP. Had the Ti scales for a bit, and finally decided to try them on. I need to spend some time with it, but otherwise, - the scales fit perf...

I did exactly the same thing recently. How do you like it?

It’s the Knifeworks S90V Military for me. Nothing else is even close.

Agree.




The Knifeworks Military M4 Ti/G10 was also epic:
