For consideration on this TGIF .....
First up is the Max Scout. This thing is a BEAST! Probably the strongest and most capably folding knife there is that isn't a fixed blade. Said to withstand up to 600lbs. of force tests. Purchased from here: https://www.bladehq.com/item--Cold-Steel-4-Max-Scout-Tri-Ad-Lock--106775 Asking $89 Shipped


Next up is the Reel Steel Front Flipper. This one surprised me the most in 2021. Fits super good in hand, actual mirror finish handle, only 2 contact points like the Umnumzaan, scary smooth drop shut action, fast front flip, and custom denim wash pocket clip. Honestly the action should be criminal at this price as I've tried $700 knives that can't match it. Excellent condition $OLD


Probably the best combo of 2021 though not sure of actual release date. The manix 2 needs no introduction but this one is in exclusive DLC Cruwear with blacked out hardware and scales all rolled into a fantastic purple G10 package. BNIB $295 Shipped


Next up is my Benchmade of all time, the Spydie Anthem. 20CV blade steel, Integral handle, customized with Spydiehole, blasted/acid washed blade, blasted handles, w/ original exclusive Anthem pocket clip. Ridiculously light, ridiculously thin, and ridiculously strong. Knife has been sharpened and is razor sharp. Comes with Orig. box $OLD


Last up is my personal knife of the year 2022 so far, the Chou by Rockstead. The meticulous craftsmanship alone wins it but the polished DLC blade is not even a knife. Really should be classified as a straight up laser as it pretty much melts anything it comes in contact with. Love this knife oh so much but just a bit small for my mitts. Tested the edge on newspaper as wanted to see if this hype was true (it is!) and that's the extent of use. Thus NIB $OLD
