A Chaparral proto with brown water buffalo horn scales.

:eek: Ok, take my money! :D

Since you mentioned being interested in the CF Chap, I’ll say if you’re at all interested in the Raffir version, visiting SFO is a great way to pick one up. When I was last there in Jan, Charlynn and Candy both helped me pick from about 10 in stock, and I got to ensure a sweet pattern. Regardless, i...

For me, the Slysz Swayback.

Got a Rhino inbound. Wasn’t convinced I’d pick one up this early, if at all, but the early reports sold me on it. The recent eBay coupon helped too. :D

Looking forward to it joining my other LBKs. :spyder:

ARK SE - it will be my first neck knife

I use methods 1 and 2 interchangeably, but like you guys I go to the spine with either my index finger or thumb for the finish.

I do the same with index finger moving to the spine to close.

I use method 1 except my thumb does not go to the hole, it goes to the spine of the blade.

After tearing my Achilles last week :eek: :( , I decided to treat myself. I’ve wanted to try the D4 Wharny for some time, and this will be my first HAP40. Got through surgery successfully today, and on my return home had a nice package waiting for me. :D This will keep me company while I’m on couch ...

In the office: Chaparral LW
At home: Native 5 S110v or Spydiechef

I’d love one at the 3.25 size

My 2 cents: Taichung, wire clip, compression or frame lock, full ti or earth-toned (or dark green) G10, XHP or LC200n. Sold.

I only have multiples in two models. x2 Chappies (different handle materials) and x2 DF2s (different blade styles)

Can’t tell a difference between yours and mine. That logo looks exactly like those on my Taichung spydies. Enjoy! :spyder:

Pakkawood and Micarta instantly. Also just other metals like brass and copper. Basically this. Less interested in stainless, but brass and copper could allow for some interesting patina options. Micarta and Pakkawood would be likely buys for me. Maybe G10, if as noted a few comments above it had a ...

Just got notified that my Dragonfly Hawkbill with a red fade RIT dye handle got delivered and is waiting for me at home. It will be my first Hawkbill, so I’m looking forward to seeing how it performs. :D

I use BKF and scouring pads as well. Works like a charm for me.

...1mm not 1cm should be very easy to regrind down to make it legal

Fair point, might have to consider that.

On another note, as a Slysz afi, the Techno 2 is an auto buy for me. I actually like having a version with a thinner stock, and switching to green standoffs is a nice touch.

Phillips. Lovely. If the blade was 0.04” shorter it would be Colorado legal. Bummer.

Yes, this. So, so close. Bummer indeed.

:eek: Whoa, that Alistair Phillips is a beaut. Easily my favorite so far out of this lineup.

This one has been on my radar. I’ve wanted to try both the P3 and Maxamet. Two birds, one stone. :spyder:

Nice write up. The Chaparral was a pleasant surprise for me. I picked up a Raffir Noble version for a dressier gent carry option, but after I realized how much I loved the profile, the LW FRN became a no-brainer for me. Excellent EDC slicer that gets a lot of pocket time with me.
