Porky Yorkie

Boggles my mind why Kizer doesnt make the flipper version of this in an XL.

Every decent looking affordable folder is apparently mandated to have a sub 3" blade and it's really hurting my feelings lol.

Oh that's the Keen, made by WE, though it is a fair bit more pricey, and it's a framelock

I actually prefer the subtle handle difference on the yorkie.

My grail is an mbk xlc flipper without the lanyard hole, but the only problem is I dont think I could properly use such a pricey knife.

Around $135ish or below is justifiable for abuse, anything in the $250 plus price range just makes me feel funny lol.

Probably end up grabbing a feist xl and call it a day, but not a big fan of front flippers :(

That is a beautiful yorkie.

That Feist is pretty neat too. I love the look of the fat carbon.

It took me a long time to finally bite on the original size, it was pleasant enough but never made my shopping list if you know what I mean. The Friday Club put out a run of them, I have an ebony M390, the Lundquist wide chord drop point in 4V, the denim micarta/blacked out framelock, the first Purple Haze, and the XL here just feels so different. If the standard Feist is basically a modern knife interpretation of the Barlow pattern that sticks to the strengths and use style of the traditional, the XL feels like a truly modern knife version of the same thing. It's hard to describe, but it's a very different beast because every dimension is just more and it has a nice feel in the hand as a result.

I was in the same boat. I like the XL version enough that I finally pulled the trigger on a denim micarta version of the regular. I just haven't put it through "new knife orientation" yet.
