    What haven’t I changed?
    I'm looking forward to the mini Arius for that reason whenever they decide to release it. Hopefully it comes with other handle milling patterns because I wasn't a big fan of the one they chose for the prototypes.

    I'm on the fence with my Anthem, I traded a knife for it along with another. It was sealed so with that in mind, was or did your Anthems have a smooth action out of the box? Comparing it to the likes of my Spyderco Smock, Demko 20.5, two different Sharp by Designs, BM Tangu Flip etc... these all have very smooth action. My Anthem feels almost gritty. I'm thinking of selling it and not sure if should leave it since it's only been opened otherwise brand new, or clean it and gunny glide it. Thanks for any feed back.

    A lot of times, a new knife just needs to be cycled for a while. If you're not gonna keep it and it truly is NIB, don't waste the time.

    Haven't stopped by here in awhile, but thought I'd share the latest I picked up from cicivi....i bought another baklash because I really liked the one i bought last year and i just loved the look of the micarta handle they released.

    I got it next to the baklash i bought last year with a damascus blade and black g10 scales, and just felt like the Damascus blade deserved that micarta handle. My first knife mod.

    I also grabbed a praxis flipper with resin handle and a savant flipper in damascus in the same order.

    I am pretty new to collecting knives, and I know they are not super collectible as a knife manufacturer, but I like the look and function for the price.

    Man, these GECs are expensive enough; I gotta stay out of custom slipjoints!


    I’ve got a good number of handmade fixed blades, so I know that’s a deeeeeeeeep rabbit hole.

    Many aren’t that expensive but can be hard to find. Those that come out of the handmade shop tho? They’re very nice but almost $300? Idk. Almost too much.

    Such cool knives. I fixed up a TW members blade. The handle was rotten and the sheath needed a little love. I ended up using ironwood for the handle. Turned out great.

    Oh yeah. Birdvis knives are super nice. I actually ended selling mine because slipjoints just aren’t my style.

    Nothing too exciting, just a couple of Benchmades that I picked up since my son got me into this.

    I really like the griptillian. They can take a hell of a beating.

    Thanks!
    While I do like the Griptillian, the North Fork I got today is pretty sweet. I like that it’s a bit smaller all around. It feels better in my pocket.
