I just pulled this one from the mailbox. Native 5 Salt Magnacut.

My 10th Anniversary Gerber 06 auto landed today. Everyone says: this one is a heavy-carry, I didn't notice it at all. Well-built, blade snaps-open, with authority, and no blade-play at all! Billboarding on the side doesn't bother me either. Feels really solid in-the-hand! Razor-sharp from the box.

I love, LOVE this knife. Mine was carried every day for around three weeks when I first got it. I need to get it out and carry it again. This is one of the knives I own that feels like it was made to fit my hand perfectly. Congrats on your new knife!

Kunwu Django XL arrived today. Very well made. Ti, Elmax, with DLC blade and accents. A buddy of mine let me handle his Pulsar and Padre a while back, and I was impressed with the quality, but I preferred the clip point of the standard Django, and they all seemed just a little small to me. Enter the XL, and I was totally on board.

I'll bet it makes your hand look normal

My new “fishing” knife. It will cut bait.

Just a different scale for the recently acquired Eklipse. Nothing crazy.

Flytanium Arcade Pro. Impressive for the price. It’s linerless so it’s a bit thinner than the standard arcade. Love the 20cv tanto blade.

Who's. The BAIT......

 

[Bigbluefish]

Who's. The BAIT......

Ha ha. No, just that blade is about .5” over legal limit in my home state… unless I’m actually fishing. (Technically, doing that, I can carry a katana, but that would be kinda awkward on several levels.) It’s legal to carry in the other states where I now spend time.

I wasn't sure that I wanted to buy the new Gen 3 Spyderco Sprint Starmate 20V but I saw one on The Exchange for a decent discount below MAP. So, I bought it.

It rounds out my Starmate collection, which (from top to bottom are) the:

1) Gen 1 440V SE
2) Gen 1 440V PE
3) Gen 2 VG10
4) Gen 3 20V

The most noticeable difference in the 20V from the others seems to be the more sculpted shape of the hollow ground blade, the more pronounced & aggressive jimping on the spine of the blade & the tip up (vs tip down) blade position of the pocket clip.

You can position the clip on the 20CV & VG10 anyway you like but this is the 1st time the clip on the Starmate has come from the factory in the tip up position. The clip on the 440Vs only came in the tip down position & there is no way to change it, without a;tering those knives.

The the main difference between the Gen 2 VG10 & the original 440V versions seems to be just the lack of the Terzuola medallion on the show side of the handle. Furthermore, Gen 2 VG10 version of the Starmate was never designated a "Sprint" & FWIW apparently was "just" just a reissue.

The Gen 2 VG10 also has full liners increasing its weight compared with the original Gen 1 440's & the Gen 3 20V which just have G10 scales w/an inlaid lockbar.

Otherwise, in terms of shape & size, all of the Starmates appear to be virtually identical.

-----------------------------------------

Note: I should have placed the Gen 1 PE above the Gen 1 SE in the above pics. Just too lazy to retake & repost the pics.

This landed!

Second hand six inch Baja-6 model from Town Cutler. It's got a very slight belly from tip to heel. Like some of us, it never really straightens out.

Simply amazing and then some.
