Massdrop/Laconico Keen

I'm really enjoying mine too. There's just one problem, I got the Para 2 with CPM-S110V in the day before so I'm also rather enamoured with it as well.

Sounds like a great problem to have! If you’re feeling good with whatever is in your pocket, I’d call that a win.
 
as promised, i took a couple pics of mine. notice the lock side with the logo. i know others have said it bothers them. i don’t think it feels/looks prominent, but that’s just me.

real pleased with the knife.

Thanks, man! Hope you enjoy yours, as well. FWIW, the Keen is kicking my CRKs and Shiro F95 out of my pocket last few days. We’ll see if the love affair continues, haha. But for now I’m kind of blow away.

The Keen knocked my Shiro F3 out of rotation too. Now I have second (purple one) on the way I'll keep away unmolested and unused. The F3 is now the bigger out of town knife and Keen is the city EDC folder. I expect a challenge when the CRK Impinda slipjoint arrives in summer.

I just got an email on a gorgeous CultroTech fixed blade I saw at the knife show; there's a Makiri Hocho on its way from Massdrop; and I won an eBay auction for a small Hackman Wirrkala I'll get by Wednesday. It's Knife Week here. Three custom fixed blades should be done in the spring. It sounds reckless rereading it but there is a plan with an end in sight.

Quick follow up - the knife is really amazing. Somehow the centering is fine now (OK, I know this sounds bizarre, but after cleaning and oiling it’s fine, maybe something was just slightly off when assembled at factory) - and I’ve used it for EDC around the house. Can’t say enough about it, considering picking up another.

I was wondering why it was withdrawn so quickly. Almost bit the bullet and bought it. Much happier that you got your problem fixed though.
 
Me (5 mins. ago): "Hmmm... I wonder if there's any info or reviews on the Masdrop Keen?"

Me: Finds this thread

Me (Now) Orders Bronze w/Portals. Pays extra $5 for expedited shipping. Mutters under breath "Damn you, @halden.doerge!"

Looking forward to posting pics in the not so distant future, and I hope I like mine as much as you guys love yours!

Glad only Halden took the blame for this one ;) You’ll love it I promise and then you’ll be shopping for your next one! :thumbsup: On the $5 shipping I did it on both of mine and had them fast without headache.

As sure as the sun sets in the west, You will love it. Barring any manufacturing glitches of course and the bronze stone washed finish is outstanding but one BIG problem that I found is that it's far too nice to use as a work knife like I originally planned so now I'm forced to buy another one:mad: Now I am forced to mull over colors and styles AGAIN :confused:

Just giving Halden crap. I saw this knife on his IG post and started looking at it. Then I found this thread. The rest is history!

I've always been a big fan of the ti slabs, and have had more than a few CRK's in my day. I think that the bronze/weathered finish is a cooler version of what some nice pocket wash and time weathering looks like on the slabs. Plus the port holes will lighten it up a bit, too!

I'm really excited to see this one show up. Hopefully it won't be too long as it says they are in stock. Maybe it will even get here by Saturday???

Haha! That is exactly what happened to me. Started using it around the house, then for medium duty EDC, next thing I know it’s got some scratches on the blade and I’m thinking about ordering my next one so I can keep that one really nice, haha

Welcome to the dark side, good sir.
 
I found one on the secondary market for cheap. Caved and bought it. Pretty stoked on the design. Only thing I don't like is the massdrop logo. Would be a lot more clean looking with just the laconico mark on the spine.
 
Just got notice that mine shipped, and *supposedly* will be here Thursday.

I don't know if it can actually get here that quickly, but hopefully I'll have it by Saturday.

This Keen configuration marks you as a man of extreme intellect, razor sharp wit, devastating good looks, peak vitality and virility, and charisma beyond what most mortals know possible.

Just my completely unbiased, totally humble interpretation of the facts.
