Can do a 2 for 1 or individual trade or trade individual
First up in a Benchmade mini-presidio 440C combo edge used and carried gently. Serrations sharpened with a Smith's diamond rod and are sharp. Omega spring is solid and opens and closes smoothly.
Next up is a custom Suwanee River Knives "pocket scalpel." Acid flume etched, 1095 steel roughly 2 1/4" cutting length and 5 1/4" length.
As far as I know I have not seen another one of these, I custom requested it as his pocket scalpels are usually resin wrapped. That said I'm sure he can make more.
I asked him to do one with micarta scales and this is what you have. I thinned out the edge and it's nice and sharp. In one spot I widened the bevel a bit much off the acid etching and you can see it. I cleaned up the edge though and it is sporting a 600 grit edge using some Lansky rods. It's a very stout knife with a thick spine. And a fun size that works in the same fashion as a bird and trout knife for basic EDC utility but in an unobtrusive way, the sheath is very nice as well. I used it over the weekend but found that carrying it on my belt was a little redundant since I can't not have a folder clipped to me on hikes. UKPK is for size comparison purposes only.
Particularly interested but not limited to:
Boker Exskelibur 1 or 2
Spyderco Delica Waved or fully serrated
Buck Vantage large in S30V
Yellow Mini grip spydie hole
Spyderco Techno (would 2 for 1) for this
Spyderco Caly 3 or 3.5
Spyderco sprint runs
Traditionals / slipjoints that are thinnish i.e. would jump at a G10 Case Trapperlock
Thanks!
