Everyone's latest acquisitions!

This one just came in the mail today. Lionsteel Gitano. Beautifully crafted slip joint. with titanium bolsters and clip and carbon fiber scales. Every Lionsteel I’ve gotten over the years has had perfect fit and finish and this one was no exception. I was worried about how stiff the back spring would be. Read stories about people having difficulty closing the knife. Sure, it’s a bit stiff but nothing onerous. This one is a keeper

I instantly blade-swaped a Magnacut Native.

WTG Puzon Wilderness Bowie, 7.5", Great size.

While large it's not huge, with an excellent grip and very comfortable, comes with a taco kydex sheath which I prefer over a pancake.

After looking at WTG for a while this is the one that got me.

Shipped for $200 (manufactured coming out of Taichung Taiwan) seems like a bargain.

Using this should be fun whenever and wherever, even if I have to make up a reason to use it.
 
Getting rid of the proprietary hardware is a plus how do you like the textured handle and the fuller blade compared to the your other LUDT? Aesthetically I like older LUDT handle and the new LUDT fullered blade.
So far I think everything is an improvement except the pocket clip. I HATE that extra dimple in the new socom clip.

I loathe you so badly, and I need you to know that. 🤣

That looks like an absolute knockout. Were there any fitment issues? I would love for Spyderco to make this happen, but if not, I am going to need to get a donor SALT and a Native donor myself. I bet that thing is a laserbeam.
