Great looking knives there Paul! That is a crazy clip on that mini with the swimming pool green scales. I love those scales BTW, my second favorite Wilkins after the Titanium ones. :thumbup:
I notice your carry is usually much classier, Brett. I'd really love to hear what you think about the Horseman. I used to have one.
Ha! Kind of you to say so!Also carrying this little fella today (very similar blade shape to the Horseman, imo...)

Overall, I like the Horseman. Biggest issue I've had is a sticky lock; I think I over-applied graphite in an attempt to smooth it out (to the point where I could cause the lock to slip with a little thumb pressure on the ramp.) It's gotten a lot better with more break-in time and getting rid of the excess graphite (that stuff really gets in there!) but I'm still leery of how the lock engages. My Horseman also likes to shred my pants with that G-10 and wave combo, so I don't carry it very much in my street clothes. But I do love the blade shape, ergos and steel. I reckon that's my opinion in a nutshell.

That is Daniel's ( DFK) Bantam Weight Fighter .Great little blade! Here is another shot of it.Is the fixed blade made by you or Daniel?? Whichever it is, badass. :thumbup:![]()
Awesome! Thanks so much for getting back to me. I must agree on the blade shape and ergos. I never doubted my grip when that knife was in my hand. Way better than the CQC-7 I used to have. I never had a problem with it, but had to unload it to help cover some medical bills. Thanks again for your thoughts. I always enjoy hearing opinions of dudes with better taste in knives than myself haha.

Lol, I forgot all about that movie!
I am quite fond of their IPA. I try to support local companies whenever possible.
Did you remove your thumb stud or did something happen to it, and that's a life-hack stud?
My guess is he would be very accommodating to your wishes, as long as you have a clear picture of what to ask for. I am also on his list for another but it will probably be Christmas before I am up.
