Everyone's latest acquisitions!

A gorgeous new 'Beta' and an amazing sheath from Warlander/ Amy Valerious

Absolutely stunner work all around.

WE Thug XL. I liked the original smaller version, but never bought it and glad I waited.

Overall pretty nice, feels very... compact in hand and has great action with easy to use thumb studs, my preferred opening option.

Not bad for my first WE folder, I'm also interested in the Trogon so that's a definite possibility.
 
While picking up the Protech SBR Rockeye I also got this tiny Swift SW in blue aluminum for the watch pocket of my jeans when I wear them. I'd returned a similar tiny sized Kershaw Launch to an online seller this summer, and this is much better for only $35 more!
Quite snappy opening, and very stabby - already bit me once while trying to see if I could close it one-handed, nope 😂 Look at the crease at the base of my pinky finger in the last pic...

Next up that I picked up new today - a Spartan Blades Astor. It's a full-size budget friendly Spartan Blades knife designed by Les George, and has a great action and feel, with CF/G-10 laminate scales like the Taiwan Spydercos, in CTS-XHP stainless steel. Fast flicks open with thumb or middle finger, easy to close with liner lock.

Speaking of Les George, I picked up a new bushcraft Les George knife, I think called the Magnate, with a very nice and sharp stonewashed Magnacut blade. The scales feel like a hard rubber, or soft plastic, but not G-10. I'll have to ask what that is made from, but it should be pretty grippy when wet.
