This 1x42 conversion really steps up the versatility of my surface grinder. Prior to this, I had a stone with 1/2" width.

I couldnt resist. I have been on the fence for a long time about the winkler belt knife. I had been holding off for a variety of reasons and had handled an older version that has the almost 90 degree finger drop. Then I randomly noticed that they had rounded the finger drop (i am referring to the integral guard where the index finger makes contact withthe ricasso). For some reason I said screw it and ordered one. So far I am actually impressed. Surprisingly, I really like the not perfect/handmade style of the knife. Its got a nice character to it. Functionally and ergonomically it is ABSOLUTELY perfect. For some reason the tan micarta appears much lighter in the photos than it actually is. Its very much closer to brown. Heres a couple pics...

Not so crisp dealer pic here, as this one's still in some Deutsche Post depot in Germany, so it's an inbound and not yet an acquisition (although I do own it). Cheburkov Scout in bronze Ti and M390. Really eager to get this in hand...

I was finally able to get in on the latest offering of these. Been waiting for a long time to snag the M8 and fell in love with the M29 and just had to get it. They are both on their way. Feel like a kid waiting on Xmas.

Please report back! I've wondered how these compare to the big S since the first time I've seen them.

Will do for sure. man. I've been looking at these for a while and almost pulled the trigger on a wood-inlayed Scout a while back, deliberated too long, and then it was gone. I was following some links this week and found a German dealer with a lot of stock and the pricing was very favorable (and considerably lower than Shiros) so I went for it. Can't wait!Please report back! I've wondered how these compare to the big S since the first time I've seen them. Very nice piece man

Cool.
My buddy just bought me this Tenacious. Loving this knife. I tightened the pivot slightly and moved the clip to tip up.
Smooth as butter now
My Tenacious was my first Spyderco and it is a great knife. I hated it tip down and tried it clipless which I also didn’t like, they threw it in a drawer for a while.
Recently moved the clip for tip up and now I love it. I was carrying it today after giving it the tuxedo treatment. Actually, it is my favourite knife for the woods but too stealthy. I thought adding a glow in the dark lanyard today would help if (when!) I drop it.
Not sure why the pic is too big when I flip it right side up, but loads fine upside down....
