The orange scales have kept me away.

These both arrived this week. The William Henry B12 “Hidden” a couple days ago and the Skaha II today.
It’s my second WH (other is also a B12). It’s one of my favorite knife designs and just about the perfect sizing. I’d tie it with the CRK Small Sebenza as a personal fave. The
raindrop Damascus by Mike Norris on this one definitely gives my Chad Nichols raindrop Damascus Sebenza a run for its money in looks. I actually prefer the ‘blockier’ look in raindrop Damascus.
And the Skaha II is my first left-handed (actually ambidextrous) knife! I’m actually left-handed but it’s a right-handed world so I switch between hands for certain tasks (I’m not ambidextrous—I either do things left- or right-handed, not both), and I’ve pretty much adapted to carrying and working knives right-handed but I wanted to try left-handed use without getting a strictly left-handed knife and see how I get along.
And kudos to John Gudmundson at North Arm Knives for adding the left-handed carry late into my order at no additional charge! Very nice of him! The carbon fiber on the Skaha II is a real treat! Has incredible dimensionality and sheen!
Great, strong detente, as well. The blade has an incredible ‘pop’ and flies out both with ‘push button’ or ‘light switch’ motions yet it drops shut and can’t be shaken loose. Gorgeous Magnacut blade with a near mirror finish and super-slicey out of the box! Looking forward to having these both in regular rotation!
ETA: I just discovered that there are terms for my ‘condition’: mixed-handedness or cross-dominance. I use knives left-handed for certain tasks and right-handed for others. It’s an ordeal. Bad genes.

I really like mine in Arctic Storm CF! I bet that sale covered G2 buying a carbon fiber model, eh?

I have 4 more incoming this week to share tonight - Koenig Arius in M390 and Ti, McNees MAC 2 automatic in Magnacut and Ti, a Spyderco PM2 in Cruwear and Purple G10, and a Spyderco Native 5 LW in black coated S35VN. I've already posted my new Shirogorov F3 Terrus and F95 NL blue crazy micarta that arrived this week, so I'll skip those.
