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

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.Scored one of the new LUDT models!

Sold one earlier this year and regretted it, have one incoming tomorrow already have SDK Micarta Scales and Lynch Deep Carry Clip waiting for it's arrival.
So far I think everything is an improvement except the pocket clip. I HATE that extra dimple in the new socom clip.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?

Thanks, think I'll pick one up as soon as they're available through their Service Personnel Program.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.I instantly blade-swaped a Magnacut Native.

These Chaparrals are some of the absolutely sharpest knives I own, both in how they came, as well as how well a light stropping made them. The perfect fifth pocket sized slicer.
What kind of feet are those?
