Everyone's latest acquisitions!

Yardening work got a shot in the arm with the addition of a Terava Skrama 240 to the collection, nicely filling the chopper gap between the BK2 and full blown machetes. The 9.4" blade is made from 80CrV2 carbon steel and the textured over-molded rubber handle has enough space for the equivalent of a hand and a half sword, even for the larger mitts out there. It's a higher grind Scandi than what is generally thought of as a Scandi grind (which is actually closer to what a lot of old timey Finnish blades had) and to me that just makes it more versatile.

It comes with a nice leather sheath, complete with dangler, as well as a hard plastic sheath that's better suited when using it around the garden, woodlot, construction sites, or toolbox; where the leather sheath would get scratched and damaged a lot more. This blade is a design collaboration between Stefan Melander and Lauren Matelli, based on the Medieval Skramasax, and made in Finland. The biggest problem I've had with it so far is not getting one earlier.

In my opinion everyone should try the Skrama 240. It's an absolute beast!

Had my eye on this for awhile, the Vulpis Ti 4-in-1, but it’s been out of stock everywhere. BHQ just got them back in, so I bit. What a nice little SAK alternative. Very smooth, very solidly built. The skeletonized nail nicks are particularly helpful. I like.

I've been on the fence about grabbing the Ti Vulpis with saw blade for a while now and I believe you just convinced me sir!

New Swing Blade (an old traditional design/pattern pretty much forgotten these days) was in today's mail call.

To close is the reverse.
I don't know (or care, to be honest) if the blade steel is M390. I've wanted a swing blade for about 50 years.
I really like this knife. It will be/is part of my long term actual every day EDC now.

I’ve never seen anything like that. Very cool.
 
Incoming today: Remette Wild Species in M390 with entropic anodized Ti framelock - I had the G10 liner lock version first and really liked it.

It's very sharp with very good detent and smooth action, and looks good too - I love the pearlescent almost glass blasted blade finish, with the hand rubbed satin flats.

Skrama 240 is my next knife, or one of the next!
What are your first impressions? Are you happy with it? Any significant cons?

I had a single blade Vulpis at one point, thought it was too small, so is this one a little bigger with the extra tools? Thanks.

Gorgeous!
What’s the one on the bottom,
Is it a Custom Quantum? I’ve never seen one with a fuller like that.

I emailed Tom @ Shiro and he mentioned that it was “Expo Quantum” when searching for a rebuild kit. He didn’t say what expo or what year, but the COA is late 2023. Since it looks an awful lot like the R1 Invitational Quantums (with the white Carbo) in January this year, I’m assuming it’s a three-bear production equivalent that was made at the same time. I snagged it second-hand from R1.

They called the inlays “Jungle Wear Carbon Fiber”.

It's just a solid piece of kit made from a strong high carbon steel. I've needed to hack through some thick roots, while digging some holes, and the Skrama was much better than the 8" Morakniv 749 (one of my handy shed knives) I was using before, which was to be expected. The Skrama 240 is going to be getting a ton of work around the woodlot this spring and summer. The only reason I didn't have one before now is because it was out of stock the last few times I went to order one, due to being so popular.
