Slip joints?

Yea the Benchmade Proper in cf with s90v. Walk & talk is unimpressive though.

If it’s from mom, then it’s highly collectible

Exactly. This is the second knife she has gifted me, the other a Matt Bailey model 2 flipper geek edition.

In spite of my obvious butterfly fandom, I must agree with you and admit that Benchmade's slipjoints leave much to be desired. I've found the action on both their Propers and Weekender are mushy at best. Mind you, that doesn't stop me from owning these models, but I'd be much more keen on carrying and using them if they were a fair bit snappier.

Is that 756 knife related reasons or overall reasons?

They are a different type of walk and talk imo . Not like a Tradional half stop in all fairness. But with that being said they have a very nice thick hydraulic type action that opens and closes from the half stop very firmly which I personally like very much. Which makes it a very safe slip joint to use and handle. The proper is a different flavor slip joint I really enjoy and like .

Full titanium CJRB Pyrite. This knife has NO RIGHT being this dang good for the $72 I paid for it. Titanium scales, AR-RPM9 steel, ceramic ball bearings, button lock, and smoothness that rivals my Pro-Tech Malibu. The thumbstud is also very, very well placed making for awesome opening. If they were to upgrade the steel, and throw the Artisan name on it, I'd have no problem paying double.

Matching titanium clip will be in tomorrow.

I think I'm going to anodize it blue (imagine that).

Darn you for showing this... I've really been enjoying my Kizer Original and this looks really good...

I love my Drop Bear but couldn’t resist the new Pyrite with thumb hole…

That is a sexy fixed blade bro.

I love everything about it. I’m a stropping nut and give my daily blade about 20 good licks per side As I’m drinking my morning coffee. This baby slices through my practice paper with crisp precision. Blade thickness and grind make it a perfect slicer and who doesn’t love everything about CPM 20 CV steel. I love it’s exclusivity, feel in my hand, deployment from either hand, machining, yada yada yada.

I'm a big fan of the Kizer Original. Other than the steel choice, I honestly think this blows the Original out of the water.

I'm excited to give the Pyrite a good try. The price is just too good to pass up for the materials.

Just arrived from DocJekl . (Thank you very much sir for a great deal and quick shipping!) Now this is what an OTF action should be. Smooth and firm, but doesn’t need a hydraulic ram to actuate it. I’ve got two of these now, and the action puts Microtech and Axial to shame.

Man o man!!! What a pair of Suingab scales does for this k I've is incredible!!!!!

That's a bad dad ZT jfk. What's that model number ?
