Nice. I keep telling myself I am going to pick up a Ti-Di Henry Slim, but have yet to drop the hammer.
 
Nice knife. I have a MKII which doesn’t have the thumb stud. It feels much pricier than it is.

Mora, the knives I use most when camping.
Nice grind on that blade!
 
I do love a blue theme, so I'm still looking for an Aquatic, but this will do for now 😁

I had found the Terrus sold out when I checked 34 minutes after the email was sent, because I didn't see it right away. Fortunately I was able to procure one in LNIB condition for a good price. Forgive my poor photography skills. It feels great, with a slick action, and drops shut nicely. It is a little big, or at least bigger than what I usually buy when sticking to 3.0 - 3.5" blades, but the size does fit my hands well.

I am so thankful to J jogger112 for letting this go (and shipping so fast), in the pursuit of finding something that fits her hands better. Some people would have held onto it in their safe and never let it see the light of day.

ANV P100 from Tzechs. New knife for hiking. Super impressed by the quality and price. Kydex sheath is the best I have ever seen (thick, reassuring click, no wobble and finishing quality is super). I have usually been against cord wraps but this one tempted me too much. Thin handle means easy to pack and light weight. And let’s be honest: most of hiking knife use is opening food packs (if they can’t be torn by some reason).
 
Haven't posted here in a while but thought I'd vent about the UPS man having me pacing back and forth like a madman while they waited until the very last minute of the day to deliver this thing!! 😂 So, this is my first CRK and one which had tracking issues mid transit 😲🤦‍♂️ I'll admit I was paranoid to the point of having negative thoughts consume me over the entire shipping fiasco. The last place it was scanned in was over in Illinois. Then it stopped tracking for days, even after I signed up with their "member service" I was not able to track this thing. The anticipation is over and I can see why people love these knives. They really do have a sense of quality to them and they did an excellent job on the grind work, absolutely flawless edge.
This one's a KnifeCenter exclusive I was lucky enough to stumble upon. One thing that stands out about this company in my opinion is his story of bringing his business to America and literally lived the American dream that so many hope to. I wanted my first CRK to be a rare one, was hoping to get a Sebenza 31 with the CGG anodizing but those are really hard to come by right now. Only have been able to find batches of small Sebenzas with CGG through a few dealers. The first CRK I saw, which was years ago, had some really cool anodizing graphics on it and I've wanted one ever since.... was probably back in 2010 or so. 20230524_191708.jpg20230524_191606.jpg

And while getting ready to sell my house and move: I finally found my Boker ceramic blade knife!

Can anybody tell me anything about this knife??
