Ive been trying to resist grabbing an advocate but man that looks sweet and m4! Tomorows payday too... resistance is futile.
Guys, I present to you my 2 newest acquisitions. I waited until now because I had to wait for all the pieces came together. The original knives were both Bento Box Shop exclusives in M390. Once I got everything assembled, these are the results. Really happy how everything turned out.

Not veryI'm very curious.
How well does a Dragonfly Wave open?
$143 for the Knifeworks Contego is a great price. They used to go for close to $200..$143........this week! Nearly perfect. M390 super steel. Great action. Built like a brick shit house. So much jimping. Looks even better in person. Only down side for me is there is no lanyard hole for a cool blue lanyard.
