Hello everybody...

I wanted to share what I am planning on purchasing in the next few days.

I would appreciate suggestions and or comments, as I would like to keep what I buy and not return it.
 
I have no idea of the meaning of your post.
What is it that you want to know?
 
My gathering is he wants to know if those knives are good or bad? pros and cons before he buys them?
 
I vote for the Spyderco Sage 2 in titanium. I have the Sage in Carbon Fiber and it is the best knife I have ever owned. They are made in Taiwan; Taiwan will be printed/laser etched on the opposite side of the blade where Spyderco S 30 V is etched in just to give you a heads up.

Being assembled in Taiwan may sound as a negative but the craftsmanship of the knife is superb.
 
Sorry for the lack of clarity. I was wondering if people had good/bad experiences with these knives, and if they suggest any alternatives.
 
People love the sage 2, I use to own a TOPS fixed blade, the sneaky pete...love it, never carried it or used it but it felt like a dream in your hands. Love the micarta scales SMOOTH. It's safe to say you're making some good choices. Dunno about the Kershaw Lahar though.
 
I think you'll be happy with all of them. The Larah is a heck of a knife that feels great in hand.
 
Trade the Lahar for a JYD
Trade the Tops for an Izula and you would be in way better shape.
 
The reason I chose the Lahar is because of tip up carry. I will look into the tops a little bit more, I chose it over the Izula because of the elongated handle and acute blade shape, I already have a more camp/utility fixed blade.
 
i have the tops scalpel and i was a little disappointed with it only because of the sheath. its very large and bulky and i didnt find it practical to carry. if you can get a simpler custom sheath for it i think it would be pretty good.
 
The Lahar is a bargain and worth consideration.
Of the knives you listed I'd buy that.
 
These are four very different knives.
Best bargain is the Lahar - one of the best for tactical carry.
The Sage would be the user of the lot.
The Mcusta, a beautiful knife that you can take to dinner.
Tops Scapel - I have not handled this model personally, but they make no frills, tough knives. I second JeremiahWeaver on sheath consideration though - carry is key.

Stick with your choices. They are good choices.
 
I have a Tops Scalpel and agree with the sheath remarks. It is too bulky for a slim knife. Nothing wrong with the knife but it to is bulky/heavy for neck carry (if that is what you want) I would go with a Cold Steel Spike series or any other company with a smaller neck style knife. I actually keep my Tops in the glove box of my truck, good for emergencies.
 
Sorry guys, again,a small miscommunication. I am planning on purchasing all of these knives. I have switched the TOPS Scalpel for an ESEE Izula with the micarta scales.

:thumbup: :D

I forgot to mention the scales are available for that little guy. I really love the blade shape on the Izula. It's a great back pocket carry knife indeed. I hope you enjoy it and it serves you well.
 
Good move on the Izula, which is a real knife. The Street Scalpel is a spike -- too thick for so narrow a blade -- and it could use an improved sheath. I don't like TOPS metal clips anyway.

That Mcusta, of course, is beautiful. I bet the edge is a razor.
 
I was not a big fan of the Lahar.. played with one in the store.. wanted to like it .. but didn't. Action sucked and didn't feel good. I think there are better out there for same price or little more. Have the Sage II in my pocket right now. Great knife! I want a Mucusta at some point.. just not sure which yet. Never been a big Tops knife guy either.. I think they are WAY over priced for what you get.
