Haha! My specific bird informed me that some might be showing up at a dealer soon.


Those models by Dylan are pretty slick!

Agreed. I want the bottom one. Just take my money now.

Nice!! I much prefer solid pins for long term use of a knife.

 

[Odaon]

This is very exciting! Thanks for the sneak peak! I can't wait to get my hands on some more of these.

For anyone who isn't already following, go check out the Instagram. They just posted a video up there showing off some more details.

Less belly-button lint.

De acuerdo! I’ve enjoyed all the designs so far, but for some reason those bottom 2 from Dylan really excite me!

LOLOL yeah that too!

I thought you weren’t putting epoxy on the Cummings knives, only flared tones.

Look at the pins

So this came in...

and I have to say I like the solid pins much better than the hollow ones. The edges are also very comfortable now.

As someone else mentioned, this newer iteration does have thicker scales compared to the first Trailmasters that came out... to the extent that the included sheath is a tight fit for the new knives and needs more "break-in". I measured the circumference of both for comparison and got:

• Right in front of the second pin: 2 1/2" vs. 2 5/8" = 1/8" increase on the new ones
• Right in front of the lanyard hole: 2 9/16" vs 2 3/4" = 3/16" increase on the new ones

Just popping in to say that although I see some advantage to the solid pins, I’m happier to have my skinnier handles and hollow pins on the TM and Utilities, for now at least. After all, I might need to use the hollow ones to make a spear one day.

I did some filing and sanding on my Trailmaster version 1 handle. You can see how it looked as purchased in a previous post I did where I compared version one and version two. This feels a lot better. I did however polish the handle which made it a bit slick to handle. I would not recommend that since these come unpolished.

Never polish micarta on a user. I hate any knife that’s slick. This has me wanting to sell a few my polished ones.

Wish I wouldn’t have done that Bob. I’ll probably try to rough it up.

Sandblast it with a corse sand

Wait, there are/will be hardwood versions?

I think I may still prefer micarta in this spot, but the possibilities doth intrigue.
