I absolutely love it and even more after some carry and use. My only complaint Is that it was the dullest spydie I’ve ever received out of the box. To no fault of the knife though or design obviously and was easily corrected on my sharp maker so didn’t even need to take it to my edge pro. It wasn’t hair popping nor could it push cut paper with possibly just only a working edge. But for me if it doesn’t push cut receipt paper at a minimum I won’t carry it until it can. Back to the knife it’s a outstanding design has great egos and is now a great slicer due to a touch up. The texture is very very aggressive but I like it and with that and the finger groove makes it planted in your hand so it’s not going anywhere and gives you confidence. Mine was a perfect example with a dead centered blade with solid lock up with no play in any direction. Smooth lock back action with more then satisfying mechanical clicks when opening and closing. I’m sure mine was one of the rare ones that came with a less then satisfactory edge but again was easily corrected. I took a little sand paper we’re the clip rides so wouldn’t tear up my jeans and now it’s perfect. I really do love this knife and I think you will be very happyThe new REX45 Lil' Native came in today. I'm REALLY enjoying it! Such a useful and convenient size. I'm having Cuscadi make some custom orange (keeping with the REX45/HAP40 theme) canvas Micarta scales with the front flipper mod as we speak.

I just put in an order for one of those a couple days ago... Might be awhile though because it's backordered. I'm sure if you're loving it, I'll probably love it too, lol. Your pictures really show off the blue liner, I like it. I was thinking the blue was more subtle for some reason. How's the texture? It looks a little rougher than the standard G10 texture, but maybe it's just the pics.
That's too bad. I love micarta on traditionals.My (allegedly) "smart" phone and antique (2013) Windows Surface tablet are both not smart enough to post pictures using Imgur.
(I suppose it is remotely possible that its me that is too stupid ...)
There was just something that spoke to me about that Sheer...needed to check it outMan! Anything I'm oogling your scoopin up!! Like the.looks of that one!!!
Hey where's the Talwar been???? Miss seeing it!
