Great little EDC blade. Just pocket carrying mine.

Really starting to appreciate the blade. Neck carry mine at work, saves tremendously on pocket space and weight seeing as I have to carry a toolbelt all day.

Those grips might make me come to appreciate the Griptillian again one day...

I had given up on the large grip - I didn't like the flimsy grips and didn't want to shell out for Wilkins grips.

When I heard about the AWT grips I was all over that. I have med size hands, so they feel a bit blocky to me and I think the edges could have been rounded or chamfered a bit more, but it is still 99% better than it was stock. I love this knife now - and being a sucker for Green/OD that's a big bonus. Love this color combo.

I'm going to have to give this some real thought now, especially since they have the 20CV Grip now, so I can even have a better steel choice than 154cm and a better handle (I know that one has G10, but honestly the AWT grips are still much better).
 
Also, I haven't posted on here in months I think, so I'm going to try to get back to it!

Today's carry is a good place to start:

yeah I also prefer the feel of Ti/Alu handles.

Mine is the M4 grip - so no complaints about the blade steel. But I am tempted to get a Sheepsfoot in 20CV now.

Oh that would be a good one ;)
The M4 with the Aluminum is already an absurdly good combo too though :D

Man those are mean looking blades.:thumbup:
Does the Otanashi have a slight greenish tint on the lock side? Either way it looks sweet!

Thanks, Dan! I was on nearly 2 months of vacation, and it's good to be back. And, yes, the Otanashi has a lighter shade of "black" and it looks a bit green in certain light and angles. Here's another look:



Both are well put together - fit and finish are quite good, edges are near perfect, and the actions are smooth. Lockbars are both a little stiff - hopefully they'll work themselves in with use. And I'm getting used to the thumb disc - I haven't had a thumb disc in a long time (10 years maybe). Overall, I'm pleased so far...

Nice! Isn't the little one have essentially the Hissatsu size blade in the smaller Otanashi type handle ?
