Things have been crazy since Blade Show West, so I'm a little behind. I've got some pretty sweet ones to show you guys though.
Holt Haptic! The action on this thing is out of this world. If you haven't checked one out, you really need to. I had no plans on purchasing a $1100+ knife at BSW, but I just couldn't walk away from this. Just an incredible knife.
Nick Birdvis one off Harper in CPM-154 and my own, custom pressed Current Composites black burlap, double black canvas, double black linen phenolic! This was another one I just could walk away from. The fit and finish is so far beyond anything I've experienced in a slipjoint! It's really causing me to go down the custom rabbit hole.
Banzelcroft Customs MEK in camatillo rosewood (mexican kingwood). This thing destroys sandpaper! If any of you have one... Throw a DeWalt carbide blade on there and be amazed!
Spyderco Waterway! I can't believe these were discontinued. I expected to see a MagnaCut announcement for these, but so far, no go. Really sweet fishing knife!
Monteray Bay Knives/Ray Laconico EZC Button Lock. I'm not really a top flipper kind of guy, but when I flipped this I was so blown away, I had to buy it. The fact that I got it directly from Ray Laconico may have influenced my purchase decision too, lol. Super awesome knife!
And my 2023 BladeForums knife came in.
