Full disclosure, got the manix NIB for $60, the crew Carta PM2 NIB for $160, the adamas for $60 and the microtech for $200. I'm very happy this weekend.

yamsi12 may I ask where you found that particular 110 flavor? Love the silver.

 

[K.O.D.]

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'm ambileftrous, but knives are one of the few things I am better with as a righty. Throwing and giving the finger are the other two that come to mind.

On the Buck website. It’s a web exclusive that they launched a few weeks ago. They offer the drop point 110 in s30v and 420hc as well as the 112 drop point in s30v and 420hc. Prices are very reasonable especially if you have a 10 or 20% off code.

I had a small safety bonus from work that was burning a hole in my pocket and of course I wanted to buy a couple more knives lol.
I chose a Dicks sporting goods card and went there and picked up a SAK Tinker and Fieldmaster.
Love them both now I just need to throw a couple of leather lanyards on them to make them mine

That little 31/4” is one fine knife. I carry one every single day and keep a backup in the case. Congratulations on a great pick-up sir.

Thank you sir! Out of the box, it felt a little small but then I realized it's actually larger than my small 31's. It's growing on me nicely.

Sir,

Thanks.

I bought both sets from a computer store because the price was the cheapest there at the time.
Note the price could change. Maybe Amazon has it cheaper right now or Microcenter
