Hey TW! Let's see your knives!

Awesome!!!!! You can hit the fat Carbon with a quick 220-320-400 grit wet sand progression under the sink faucet to make that copper shine!!!!!

 

Benchmade LFTi

 

I have a giftcard for $300 to my local knife shop. It’s a good shop. What knives would you recommend in that price range. I’ve got several ProTechs and ZTs so probably not another one of those.

 

Throw in a bit more and get a grail knife? Like a CRK or something along those lines?

 

$300 can get a lot of knife, even now. At this price point, the materials and build quality should be top-tier. It's good that you'll get to go there and physically handle anything that catches your eye. There's bound to be at least one model that speaks to you. My only advice is don't limit yourself to any particular brand or even country of origin.

 

Dude, I'm thinking about it! They keep a few CRKs in stock.

 

The SRM wind runner... Tiny but useful

 

Question to all ESEE Izula 2 owners that procured a leather sheath: Where did you go for yours?

I ordered an Izula 2 that’ll be here tomorrow. I’ll very likely get a leather sheath made for it like my last knife. I was extremely pleased with the quality from Patriot Leather and I don’t mind waiting for their craftsman again. They’re currently moving locations and won’t be accepting new orders until sometime in May.

Any other high quality leather workers I should consider?

 

Off the rack from Kline Sheaths. Not spendy. Does the job. Wet formed to the knife and added a little bolster to help with retention.

 

I carry mine in kydex, but have heard great things from ESEE dudes about JouFuu Leather

 

Sweet little kitchen chopper came today. Chopped some pork for dinner like a champ. This thing is gonna be handy.

 

This is my CRK small Sebenza 31 with raindrop Damascus. It’s a safe queen. My EDC is a Benchmade North Fork, Freek or one of a couple Kershaw Scallions I have.

 

Did you send her the link? I normally buy whatever I want then just ask her to wrap it.

 

Spyderco Smock

 

I like it.

 

Suggestion taken.
CRK Wilson Combat small Sebenza 21.

 

That is a nice piece. I have one as well.

 

How is it from a quality perspective? I love the look of it but I have a Taiwan Spyderco that seemed inferior to the Colorado knives I own and I've avoided them ever since.

 

That Taiwan facility is supposed to be world class.
