The karambit sheath was not compatible with the Tec-Lock, so I am returning the knife. The UltiClips were bad. Stiff to use and wear and tear the fabric, so they go back too.

I had one of these when I was a kid. My tastes have evolved but it's still giving me a buzz. It turned out to be a fine specimen. Nice and sharp. Even bevels. Blade centered. Sixty bucks, man!
What is that?!

You know, if these were your only fixed blades you'd still have a very nice collection.

I love my Slayback. The size(smaller one), blade profile, and the awesome ZDP sandwiched into it.. it makes for an awesome EDC.

I was late to the party on this one. One of the nicest knives in it’s price range I’ve bought. I can understand the hype they h
The Keen is one of my favorite knives. I have a Drop version like you got and I must say the newer Kaviso Keens are even better. All the hardware is Titanium and the overall build is a smidge nicer, the finish is nicer for sure.

I finally got around to picking up a Demko AD 20.5, with an AUS10 Shark Foot style blade, and the Shark Lock is everything they say it is. My biggest problem with this utility folder is that I didn't buy it sooner.
Some people might also be interested in the book, A Rifleman Goes to War by HW McBride. It is a nuts and bolts account of an American serving as a sniper/machine gunner in the Canadian Expeditionary Force of WWI and formed the basis of the US sniper program in WWII (because the US military cut their sniper program after the Great War). After WWII they cut the sniper program again and this book was again used as a blueprint to rebuild the sniper program for the Korean War. Then it was used again for the Vietnam War because of course the military cut the sniper program after Korea. The military brass tried their best to cut the US sniper program after Vietnam, but it was saved by a great deal of lobbying by people who couldn't believe that this was happening again.
As an add-on purchase I also bought a Kershaw Adjustment Tool and a Honey Badger: a knife that was designed in South Africa and then made by three different corporations in China. It's a nice full size budget folder with a 8Cr13Mov 3.6" Wharncleaver blade. It's a knife that's been on my add-on knife list for a few years now.
