OK Folks, here are this weeks offerings. As stated in another thread this week is all about the Hiking Buddy Jr. I'm really liking this model. When I designed it I was planning to go a lot smaller, but it just looked like a slimmer Runt. I like the Runt as is, so that was a no go. I wound up shortening the knife by roughly 5/8", and I didn't remove any width at all from the design. It turned out like a stubby fat little HB. Its handy and I like it a lot.

1. Hiking Buddy Jr - 3/32" Tapered A2 Steel, Canary Yellow Linen Micarta, Black Liners, Yellow-Orange-Yellow G10 Racing Stripes
2. Hiking Buddy Jr - 3/32" Tapered A2 Steel, Red Brick Burlap Micarta, Black Liners, Orange-Red-Orange G10 Racing Stripes
3. Hiking Buddy Jr - 3/32" Tapered A2 Steel, Natural Canvas Scales (base price, ie $0 upcharge), Natural Canvas Bolsters and Liners, Red Pinstripe

Mine from last Friday’s drop (Hue resin scales) came yesterday. I actually missed the ‘Jr.’ until after I paid and considered canceling, but am happy that I choose not to. It is an extremely well considered design that is great in hand. Light and balanced without feeling cramped. These should sell out in minutes. Thank you for making these!

Im glad you bought that one. I kept going back and looking at it. I was relieved when it disappeared.

I love hearing that. Can't beat a surprise model and still an endorsement. I was proud to see you got it M.

Nice lineup but I miss the 5 pin configuration. The single big pin loses the unique look.

I get that. I got tired of using a foot of pinstock in each knife. I like the single pin up front look a lot. It really makes the Trinity Pinout stand out when there is only one up front too.
