MasterChief's Alias II for lots of changes

[Robocarullo]

Well I received the Alias and have had a chance to give it some pocket time and I have to say it's a perfect edc for me. The knife looks fantastic (like I knew it would) the G-11 adds a little flare and has just the right amount of grip to it, the stuff really is a lot like glass the semi translucency is a nice touch. The new thumb stud makes opening the knife a lot easier for me, it has a much better edge than those weird cone shaped ones. The pocket clip is also a vast improvement over the factory one and rides super low in the pocket, when I tried it in tip down I couldn't even see the top of the knife. Thanks for the great work

Here are some shots of it I'll try to get some good natural light pics up so you guys can see how nice the G-11 is.

Glad to hear you like it Chris. That G11 does look like its a glow in the dark type material in certain light and its for sure got a different smell than G10 so something is for sure different about its make up.

I wondered about the thumb stud and whether you'd like it or not. Its an intersting thing with those. I have ordered these since Jantz started carrying them and they have always been smooth but this last order they were all knurled like that one I used on your Bradley. I sometimes get a bit frustrated with some of the suppliers because this happens more than a few times when I order stuff and get used to it and then reorder it using the same order numbers and get something else.

Sometimes this has made matching up a screw hard when a customer lost one. They did this recently with some button head screws where I was getting some with 1/8" pivot barrels that were the biggest head diameter T6 driver 2-56 screws I've ever seen and then after reordering these like the third time all the barrels came with regular T6 screws.

This is one of the reasons I buy in bulk once I find something I like. But even that has backfired where I got the bulk item after a small purchase and everything was different than that first small order. Go figure.
