I got to ck out the starmate at st nicks knives last weekend. Awesome knife! Definitely would like to have one eventually.
 
Just so this thread doesn't get relegated into the abyss, I'll share an interesting one. This is a "little knife" from 2021 that Les hand-ground from some scrap 204P steel Chad Nichols had lying around. When Les saw I had the knife, he surprised me by mailing me the skeleton plate it was water-jet cut from. It was an incredibly thoughtful gesture that meant the world to me. Originally, I wasn’t sure if I was going to keep the knife, but after receiving the source plate, it happily became a permanent part of my collection.

Truly a "little" knife!

Y'all wild rockers almost got the King's thread shut down! On topic, do any of y'all have any feedback on the Spartan and LG dagger collaborations?

At Blade Show 2024, they released a small 10 unit run to commemorate the 10th anniversary. My buddy bought one and I'm still holding on to it for him. I know for this batch, Chad made the Damascus, Spartan ground the blades, and Les made the scales. However, I'm not sure how the work was split on the original run.
