Anyone else see this BM advertised in this months Blade Magazine? Looks like micarta or G-10 handle material cut down to show some grain, Axis lock, and the reverse tanto blade. No specs were given, but it is an Osborne Design according to the ad. Just curious and couldn't find any info at BM website.

just googled Shoki, it's the name of a demon-slaying spirit, that's neat

This thread is over 2 years old but it's ok cause it's such a great knife. It is personally my favorite knife, period. Post up picks because the carbon fiber on that one looks great.
I am surprised that it sounds like the Rift is only 2 years old. I guess I need to try to find the date I bought mine because I could have sworn it was early 2007 and that I have been carrying it for 3 years. Maybe I got the year wrong?
I had 7 of the Rifts but traded one away so I'm down to 6. I have 1 of the two tone, 1 of the 950-801, a few of the 950-1001 with M4 blades
, and the rest are the black G10 handled one. The M4 version is basically my grail knife and one went into my pocket the day I got it and hasn't left. I have been thinking about putting the carbon fiber scales on one of the M4 versions but don't see the need yet. As good as the M4 steel is I had to track down extras in case I ever lose my EDC.
