I’ve had this buck for over 14 years
Longest I’ve ever owned any knife

Is that Kronos the large or small one?

It is a 533 aka 'Medium' Kronos as Moki calls it. (Have yet to see a small Kronos) It's a useful size, 3.75“ closed. I would like the pull to be a bit stiffer but other than that it is great. A favorite carry for me.

Thanks, I thought it might be the jr. one... I've been debating what size to get. Glad you feel the 533 is a useful size.

I'm glad you posted that as I wanted to see what the "kick" looked like on yours. I had to file mine down a couple mills because the blade sat proud out of the handle. I no longer can pull the blade out with my finger nail so all is good.
