I had this and a regular Budgie at different times. I liked them, but never really found myself carrying them unless I consciously chose to.
I like a small lightweight knife when traveling, with a clip on it so it doesn’t slide out of my pocket while I’m driving. My mini range pro would work except I dulled the edge in some hard use recently. I went in the drawer for my mini bugout but I saw the mango bird sitting there and it was an easy choice. It’s a fun knife!I had this and a regular Budgie at different times. I liked them, but never really found myself carrying them unless I consciously chose to.
But seeing the Mango one from time to time on here makes me smile.
Cerakote gets a bad rap sometimes, and I do dislike the pointless cerakote (grey on a stainless steel, etc), but I appreciate fun color combinations on limited runs like this.
I got that very same one about a month ago. I Prefer my clip points for etc use, but that big stout drop point goes in pocket when I'm out doing work. You'd have to work at breaking off that tip!Just got this and have been carrying it the last few days. I like it. I'm trying to decide whether to leave it like it is or put some stag scales on it.

That patina!Went with the 112 today. I used it for yardwork yesterday and it was pretty dull. Took it to the guided sharpener today while listening to a work meeting. Got it back to hair shaving sharp.

Indeed! I carry a 110 more often then not and I prefer a clip point on that bigger knife. But there is something about the drop point 112. I like that combo more than I ever thought I would. I saw that they were now offering them in S35V and decided to snag one while they were still available.I got that very same one about a month ago.

It's a damned handsome knife with that beast of a blade, those nickel bolsters against the black covers. Mine has the S30V blade.Indeed!

Beautiful! Stag is my favorite!I was right back to my 112 from the custom shop. I really do love this one, so it'll probably be with me for a while.![]()
It’s my first ever, real elk antler knife. Every other knives I have are jigged bone. They sure are way nicer!Beautiful! Stag is my favorite!
I wouldn’t change a thing on that knife if it were mine. Some Stag scales would be great but I would use a different 112 for that. That one is just too dang nice.Just got this and have been carrying it the last few days. I like it. I'm trying to decide whether to leave it like it is or put some stag scales on it.
