So this Real Steal Phasma was entirely an impulse buy. What compelled me to feel “I had to have it” at first sight? I think it was because if I were given a chance to design a knife’s aesthetics from scratch….it would look very similar to what they’ve done here. They’ve literally incorporated many of my favorite design elements into this one knife. It was just that simple.

Overall I’m pleased with it. For a hair under $300 it’s a pretty solid build. At full retail I definitely wouldn’t compare it to Sebenza or SHF….but “on sale” the aesthetics really resonated with me and right now I’m diggin’ it.

Now, I should’ve prefaced all that by mentioning that at this point I’m still assuming the action will break in and loosen up quite a bit. I’ve been working it a little this afternoon and will probably lube and tinker with it tomorrow…but outta the box it was stiffer than 12-year old me finding my dad’s Penthouse collection in the nightstand drawer. Not gritty, just extremely tight….so the functional verdict is still in deliberations.

Guess we’ll see how things go over the weekend.

Hey Woodysone, I’m an electronics tech for the oil and gas industry with a primary role of failure analysis for logging equipment which is basically a GPS system utilized while drilling oil/gas wells. (Google key words, measurement while drilling for more info).
The backgrounds are of equipment im troubleshooting or working on that day usually, although sometimes it might just be something cool in the shop ill use for a background. Plenty of mechanical work as evidenced from my posts as well and interesting enough work to hold
my attention since 2006 while keeping me plenty busy.

Here is most of the parts from the pulser transmitter I was breaking down in my earlier post that went through a rebuild, (About a 4 hour process total and no issues with it just needed a regular servicing), and is about to go back together for oil fill. Here i am about to tie the safety wire on the viton rubber membrane (next to the skaha) which must be leak free under tremendous hydrostatic pressures up to 5 miles underground and is partially exposed to the elements as well as solids and high temps.
