I think this is the perfect size, and got the gold but have not found the blue one with the geometric pattern. If you want this design in blue in a smaller knife, there is a 3" model that is similar but $70 more and a limited edition (not sold out yet) - WEKNIFE Shakan Flipper Knife Titanium Handle (2.97" CPM 20CV Blade) WE20052C-1

Native 5 Lightweight in Rex 45
Brand new, fresh out of the box observations- grind is very uneven, action is stiff and gritty feeling (I think these use no washers or bearing), but edge is sharp. Almost considered returning it, but the action is improving and the uneven grind will be corrected in time. It’s an attractive knife w great feeling ergonomics, but the linerless FRN build feels a little “cheap” to me. Nice and light though.

Very nice. These are really nice knives, I've got a few kicking around in various drawers. Only complaint I have is that every one has arrived needing a little bit of an edge tune-up. Also, if you get different blade shapes, those scales are swappable (for the most part).

Found this on the bay for less than $78 brand new shipped! Amazing knife for the price. Could’ve swore they discontinued these years ago.

You’re not going to fool us with that nonsense. Many have tried, it rarely works. lol
What is this? Handle looks TRC-ish..sort of.

Thanks a lot - I already had a Kitefin and just ordered another one. This month is going to set a record I think. I’m running out of room.

This just in today along with the matching back spacer and thumb stud, amazing timing that they arrived together. Really digging the look. I call it the Arctic Bugout! May leave it like this for a while before I install the titanium scales I bought for it.
Gotta say, it's lighter than I recall my previous Mini Bugout and Mini Grips. Also looks and feels cheaper than I recall as well. Maybe the reason I got rid of the first. Been so long I can't recollect.
Not sure if it's a keeper yet, but visually it hits the button for me. I think with the titanium scales the heft would be there and probably change that cheapo feeling.
