What kind of folder do you carry?

Anybody own a North Arm Skaha and if so how do you like it?

I just pulled the trigger on one after a 22 month long wait list. I am a little more excited now that they grind the main bevel on the blade vs the milling groves on the old blades.

I should have it by mid to end of December and will update my thoughts then.

I think Mike157 Mike157 has one. He has an amazing variety of knives.

At one point a few months back, I think I had 2 or 3 of them. I finally felt comfortable not needing a backup and sold off my extras. I don't think they are all that hard to get if you give it the old college try. In fact, TRM had a bunch available FS just this evening for about 4 minutes. The Ti Atom should become available for some short period of time this December. If you don't score one though, keep in mind the fact that it is going to be a regular production knife for them and it's likely just a matter of time before you score.

Good lookin out, I've been tryingbut I guess my luck just hasn't been the best. Let me know if you end up with another ti and ill certainly buy it from you.

I own a Skaha with the older milled blade design. I’m also on the waitlist for one of the newer models.... so I guess that I am happy with mine.:D I’m actually very happy with this knife, it is just about everything I like in a pocket knife - light, open frame, liner lock construction, wire pocket clip, a slightly more thin blade than many made these days, a very nicely finished and very sharp blade. For those that enjoy flippers, this knife flips, probably, as well as if not better than most I’ve experienced.

As I mentioned, this is a fairly light knife, not a bomb shelter, iron door, pocket anchor (those can be fun too). I find it easy to carry and it handles most of my everyday needs.

Truth in advertising, I am a light weight user and pretty much baby my knives, but I think that most would be happy with this one, if they don’t need to pound it into a tree or put it in a vice and hang 600 pounds off of it.

I do have to say, I really like the North Arms knife company and support them, when appropriate. I have several of their models and think that they are a good value. Their fillet knife is one of the best I’ve used, and I have put it through some fairly good sized fish. It holds an edge well. North Arm are great with communications and have an informative website. Among the videos they have posted, is one for maintaining the Skaha - assembly, cleaning, disassembly.

No, I don’t work for them :p, I just like their knives, and them, as a company. Mike

The titanium Atoms, aka the ATOMic ti, is not out yet. Keep a very close eye on the TRM FB page and Marianne Halpern will give everyone a heads up as it gets closer to their availability.

That’s awesome Mike, thank you very much for the detailed feedback!

I have read many great reviews on it and that fact that I live in BC, I am pretty excited to add a local piece to my pocket.

Thanks again,
Justin

Thank you, I recently deleted my Facebook. It was becoming too much all day every day. I have enough pages like calguns and bladeforums haha. It used to be a fun place to catch up on friends lives and it became a political shit slinging forum of hate and cancel culture. Maybe I'll be lucky to know one another way. Thanks for the info.

I hear you about FB. If I can, I'll try to remember to shoot you a PM here to let you know the date of the release when it is announced. Again, even if you miss it initially, it is going to be regular production. :thumbsup:

Ya I made a PArler account, so far it's just a twitter style page with nothing but canned Hardcore right wing rhetoric. I lean pretty far right but I'm trying to avoid being inundated with politics from sun up to sundown and Parler isn't helping that. I appreciate some unbiased news at least but I'm just tired of having it in my face all the time, I agree it's bad for mental health.... nothing but negative all the time.
 
I deleted my Facebook a couple months ago. And it’s a second account I set up to log into websites and things, after I deleted my original one. I keep logging in though and resetting the delete timer...anyway I just picked up my first northwoods, this Coolidge Jack Texas toothpick
