September BOTM Guesses/Wishlist - Who guessed a 631? You're a winner!

[dsutton24]

Oof...

I love the Paklite knives, I own almost the entire collection of them. But, $165? Nah, can't do it. Cerakote? Don't care. I'm over the Magnacut thing.

At some point you're just doing stuff because you can. Get back to making knives and leave the novelty market to those guys who make beard combs and bottle openers.

I love the idea of a lightweight hunting knife, but this one misses for me. Needs a nonconductive handle and a lighter weight to compete.

Asking out of ignorance, why would the knife need to be non-conductive? How would you make the knife lighter and to what would it compete with?

 

[Culprit99]

Yes, but I have a couple Budgies that are absolutely garish, and I love them. Kids love them too. Especially that candy corn fob. Think of the kids!

Metal handles conduct cold. I occasionally hunt in very cold temps and prefer to perform quartering without insulating gloves. Plastic or rubber are great.

Benchmade Bugout, Hogue Extrak, and Benchmade Taggedout are interesting competitors. 1.9oz to 2.1oz. Each seems to have far less steel, which is probably how they achieve the weight?

I dont pry with hunting knives, so they dont need to be tough. Just sharp, light, comfortable, and hard to lose.

Thank you. I understand.

These are going fast. Right now 119 left.

I got one ordered. Being a hardcore hunter and having a thing for orange with CF it’s a win for me. Plus the wife knows I like that combo so not too much of an argument to get one.

Selling much better than I ever thought it would.

Indeed!

I knew this reminded me of something... Benchmade Altitude. 3.08" blade S90v for $300.

I like the BOTM better

I'm not a big fan of Cerakote, but if it was black I just might have been tempted. It looks like it'd be easy enough to remove the handle slabs & replace them with a beefier, more comfortable, full handle of wood.

Same, I don't like cerakote, unless it's black. A blackout 631 would have looked slick.
