Howcome i never hear anytihng about nemesis knives. ive been carrying an archally ove r a week now and i love it. Why does no one ever tslk abotu them. Why is the imp never brought up when gentleman folders are discussed???????
 
I hadn't heard of them until I went to the Blade show to be honest. Are they some of your favorite knives? I think it was Nemesis Knives that had this cool little fixed blade. I wish I could remember the name. I think someone here managed to score one for $35 too, and they go for way more than that.
 
I have an Imp in Silver G10. Cool little knife. I rarely carry it though because I don't like the sheath. The sheath is too soft and tight, which makes it a pain to remove the knife for use. Without the sheath, the thumbstud is so long and the detent is so light that I'm afraid it would open in my pocket very easily. I normally carry an Al Mar Hawk to the office, which is perfect. The sheath is stiff and just tight enough to hold the knife, but loose enough so that the knfe slides out with gravity when I want to use it. If I can find a good replacement sheath at a knife show, I'll be carrying the imp more.

Another thing I don't like is that the anodizing on my imp is uneven. Near the top one side is blue while the other side is magenta. It's not major, but I hate showing my knife to people because it's the first thing they notice.
 
I wasn't impressed with them either, except for that little fixed blade they had. I think it was them. Yes, it was.
 
The Xenon and LMAX look kinda interesting.

Unfortunately, as a relatively new company, it's a looooong uphill battle to name recognition (ask Mr. Spyderco, the personable Sal).

The arch-ally. And that was me who scored it for 35 bucks:D


That is a handy knife. I hear alot about edcing a fixed blade and i almost never hear this knife brought up. Even for 100 dollars a s30v blade with textured g10 is pretty good. It comes out of the box shaving sharp. I havent ahd any experience with the imp but the only complaint i have heard is that several of the people who own them say that the liners anodization is uneven. But still it is for under $100 dollars. I think the price to performance ratio is pretty good.
 
I LOVE that little knife! If I had the money, I would have snapped the green one up!! That is an awesome score, getting one of those hot little knives for $35!! I sooooooo want one too!! That is the only Nemesis knife that I like!!!
 
It was a great deal. But the nemesis designs all seem pretty solid to me. Im waiting for them to expand their line a little more. They need afew more folders. And at least one larger fixed blade. But i will definatley buy from them again.
 
i would love to get my hot little hands on the sweet little fixed blade. I really liked it because the jimping was unlike any other knife, and I liked how it felt in my hand.
 
This is the first I've heard of them.

Which just goes to show that there is always something undiscovered in the world of knives.:)

They stole their symbol from me, I've had it tattoed on the inside of my left forearm for 8 years!
