After a long two weeks of trading, selling, and buying, I managed to get a bunch of great knives, two of which I've been trying to get a hold of for quite a while. Sorry for the low quality pics. I'm still at work, so I had to snap them quick :D

1. Fantoni HB-01. Black g10 with a 4.13 inch CPM s35vn blade.

For a production knife, all I have to say is, "holy ****". Fit and finish is excellent. Curiously light. Love that peel ply g10! Blade has a nice, semi reflective stonewash on it. Intimidating and elegant at the same time. If you have a chance to own one, I'd definitely recommend going for it. The knife came totally perfect and razor sharp.

2. Olamic Cutlery (Olamic Tactical) Wayfarer. Black scalloped g10, bead blast/satin two tone s35vn blade.

Have you ever built a knife up in your head over weeks, months or years, and then finally, you get your hands on it and it wasn't what you thought it would be?... Well that was DEFINITELY NOT the case with the Wayfarer. "Perfection" is not a strong enough word. This thing was masterfully put together with the utmost love and care. Smooth as butter, fantastic balance, I could go on and on. I know a lot of people say this about a lot of different knives, but if I had nothing to carry through the apocalypse but a folding knife, this would be the one! If you have been thinking about a Wayfarer, but have held back for whatever reason, I'd say pull the trigger. I've never been happier with a knife. Leave your comments or questions below! I'd love to hear what you think :)

Thanks for sharing the info about Olamic. I want a Wayfarer real bad. Just trying to be patient to find just the right build. I saw one awhile back with silver twill carbon fiber that dropped my jaw. Congratulations on your acquisitions.
 
Thanks! Was it by chance Jim Skelton's Wayfarer on YouTube? Because if so, that was the one that got me interested as well!
 
I've wanted a Wayfarer for some time, but they're so varied in style. I haven't found one that made me pull the trigger.
 
I had the same dilema. The amount of options makes it hard to choose, and then on top of that, they aren't the easiest knife to get your hands on in the secondary market. Once you find one you like, snag it. I'm sitting here flipping it over and over. So much fun!
