ADD:
I checked out some of my existing compression locks. Some do flex at that spot, but it's not an issue. Funny, never thought of checking this area before. Ha!

Para 2 cruwear micarta
How are the micarta scales holding up?
I ask, because in viewing a vid the guy showed concerns about the thinned out area at the locking tab. There is no "lip" for a good 2 or less on the scales.
THE MICARTA MAY BREAK??
I like the looks of this knife.

? CPM-SPY-27 ?
Did not get around to getting a Para 3 LW in SPY-27, so can anyone tell me about yours.
Like, cutting cardboard, paper, wood/whittle. Nothing heavy duty, I don't do camping/hunting much anymore.
Thanks

Re: Ikuchi
Thank you.
I have a CQI.

The cuts are real however.

Ikuchi
Got an Ikuchi recently, I love compression locks and I have 6 of them. This is a very clean looking knife. It's light and easy to carry, pull it out, flip the front opener. but.... Unlocking is a hazard for me. Cut my finger while closing, the blade slams on to my index finger that is holding the lo...

Would the "trouble" in Taiwan be to blame for the lack of supply? It seems a while now for the Kapara and others to be out of supply.

Watu choil
What is there not to like about the Watu? Slim handle, thin blade, 20CV, light weight, it is a gem.
Then there is the little "bite" when closing the blade.
Ok, so has anyone trimmed a bit of the choil, if so can we see a picture

Re: Is GB2 3" dead?
I have two and cut one down to a 3 inch.
Not too bad for an amateur.

Urban in G10 and VG10
Got this little knife years ago, don't know when. It's not been used much. So it survived Laura and now I would like to know if it was regular run of knives. I see the newer ones are made with FRN and N690 and not in Japan.

Liking 20CV
There a lot of great steels out there, but I seem to be gravitating to 20CV in my Watu lately.
I have other knives in the steel but the Watu just seems to cut better (for me). It could be the blade thickness and the thin grind, but it doesn't matter, I like the knife.

Re: Sage 5
Love the lightweight. The grip sells it for me, but with the bushing, there is no fiddling with the pivot screws to get the right adjustment.
The CF/G10 has a little more "hefty" to it, if that is what you want. The LW is still plenty strong (doesn't feel cheep).
