A2 Knives Middi A $750 - This is a collaboration between Andre Thorburn, Andre Van Heerden and Tashi Bharucha. This knife is in perfect condition other than the marks on the liners, but it came like that. The action is among the best on anything I've tried, one of the few knives I can't fail the detent on. Contoured Lightning Strike CF scales, Zirc pivot collars, perfect hand satin M390 blade, which I think is at 61 HRC. Still haven't broken it in, so the closing has room to improve. Also pretty thin behind the edge at 14 thousandths of an inch.
Herucus Blomerus LL07 A $800 - Bought this knife brand new and it's still in the same condition. Hand satin M390 blade, copper wire cf, and zirc bolster heat anodized, bronze ano ti liners, and g10 backspacer. The action on this is superb, easily one of the best detents I've felt. Very smooth and controlled closing, blade grind is also thin. Herucus is damn near on Thorburn's level.
