Very nice! I personally think the Imamba is one of the best looking folders that’s ever been made. It looks a lot like a grown up CRK Mnandi which is also at the top of my list of best looking folders. I own both but would prefer my Mnandi had a thumb hole instead of a notch.

I bought my Imamba flipper delete from one of the Bernards when they released at Bladeshow last year. I went with Mammoth molar because why not?.?. I’d like to get a plain one next.

I actually prefer the notch over the hole in the blade but I agree that the IMamba is one of the best looking folders ever made. Beautiful blade. 👍🏼😍

It’s not a hill to die on for me. The models with thumb holes I’ve handled were just a bit easier to open in my hands. Nothing to do with aesthetics. I think the notch actually looks better on the Mnandi.

The Imamba looks like what would happen if a Mnandi and a Spyderco GB2 (another favorite) had a baby. Maybe I’m the only one that sees it but that’s what comes to mind.

I can’t stand thumb holes. Never liked them on any blade. Probably why I’ve never been a big Spydie guy. Yes, I know they definitely are practical and do help deployment. I still don’t like them. Others obviously do, but that’s a just my own personal quirk. Variety is the spice of life. I’m glad they make them in both configurations. It gives us options.

Thanks to waynemanning74 waynemanning74 for providing information about this knife - have wanted one since I saw one of his posts a while ago - really cool knife, definitely not a traditional lightweight Spyderco

I'm so glad ya found one. Nope not lightweight or traditional but what an EDC if your up to the challenge. I love large folders and the spyderco Sub-Hilt delivers that very very well IMO. It looks fancy and delicate but from my experience is nothing of the sort.

I think its one.of the best ever from Taiwan....... And when converted to D\A auto they are the BEES KNEES....😜.......

Just a fantastic knife....👍
 
Top : my good old Fallkniven PXL (Laminated CoS steel and V-edge). There is no clip on this model.
Bottom : the brand new Fallkniven PXLx (Elmax and convex grind)...with a clip!

The blade is beautiful...but the problem with the new knife is the clip : Tip down only and hideous.
And there is no plate to hide the screw holes if you remove the clip :

Perhaps I can try a blade swap?
