Very, very cool. I'll take a look. I'm def not set on it being a flipper, but I'm open to them. Thanks for the tip!Two words: VIPER ODINO. I just got one and it is perfection. Mine is the full TI version with a satin blade. If you’re set on it being a flipper, the Viper Kyomi may be what you’re looking for. I’ve had a lot of full TI knives—including several Sebenzas, but the Viper is my favorite yet. Excellent price, too, if you look around.
Patience I have. I also have a small bank account, so letting it fatten up a bit probably is a good idea. I'll keep an eye out.Massdrop doesn't have it anymore but you can get it on the secondary with a little patience.
I'll keep looking, whats you budget ?Very, very cool. I'll take a look. I'm def not set on it being a flipper, but I'm open to them. Thanks for the tip!

At this moment, I'm pretty open. For a more immediate purchase, I'm in the like maybe US$250 range. Looking slightly longer-term, I can roughly double that, for a real winner. Will be moving back to the States in a few months, so need to be careful of cash. Big international moves can come with some unfortunate financial surprises, you know? I appreciate everybody taking the time to scope out the options and share their opinions and experiences. Ooooo. And this is post 100 for me. Thanks for that too^^ Here's to 1,000!I'll keep looking, whats you budget ?
What is that beauty?
Slysz Swayback. Coming soon I hope, but maybe a bit after the new tanto.What is that beauty?
Drool. Might become my first ever spyderco.Slysz Swayback. Coming soon I hope, but maybe a bit after the new tanto.
I like the look. But I don't have any experience with AUS8, I wonder how it holds up. How's ease of opening?
That is absolutely gorgeous. And I think the comparison is fitting. I love how slim it is and the nail nick is a nice touch. Thanks for posting this one.Giant Mouse GM3. These were a limited run of 300 with a pirate run of 100 in bronze scales. They are all sold out, but are available on the secondary market. I bought mine on the Exchange last month at well below the original price and saw another not long ago also at a decent price.
Really smooth, great flipper, super F&F, M390 blade, beautiful minimalist design with nice details, light with a good grip for a smallish knife (better than a ZT0450 or BMK940), and disappears in pocket. Someone described the knife as a cross between a CRK and a Shirogorov, and that seems fairly apt.
It has a longer blade than your expressed preference (it's 3.375"), S SomeGuyInTaipei , but it's unobtrusive and non-threatening. The nail nick is a nice touch for discreet opening.
