Yet Another EDC Request with Specific Requirements

Lenny said:
I've come across the Quiet Carry IQ. https://quietcarry.com/collections/the-iq Anybody have one?
I'd love one of the Satin Grey or Stonewashed ones but they're sold out.
Does anybody know where to get one?
Thanks

Some mixed review. See this thread. I think Nick Shabazz has a video review in the thread linked below.

I tend to agree with some opinions that you're paying quite a bit for the specs of this knife. But, I must agree it a good looking knife.
 
Now that you have an idea, which one are you leaning towards? This way we can compare your choice to others & further condense all these options.
 
I recommend the Spyderco Mantra 1. It’s all metal and it slices real good. Great action with multiple opening options and CPM-m4 steel. Nice discrete carry wire clip, under 200 new and a solid lock. Not the blade shape you mentioned but checks most the other boxes.
 
I agree with the Kizer Gemini, also you should check out the Kizer T1 (Task). That would be my suggestion. I really enjoy the T1 for everyday stuff. Snappy with the thumb studs even just like a flipper, but without a flipper getting in the way! Just my 2 cents.
 
I love wharnies! Going to offer some extremes cold steel tuff lite, Viper Dan, Hogue X1, case swayback or mini trapper wharnie.

I have like 3 of 5 of these lol...

Yes, don't like the old clip. But, as stated above, the new ones come with the newer milled clips which I much prefer. There is still the Chinese thing, though. I may have to overlook that, however. Still, the warranty seems to be a nebulous affair at best.
Anybody ever had a warranty claim on a Kizer before?

You should probably try to overcome the “Chinese thing” because it will eliminate a lot of great, high value knives from your options. But...that’s your choice.

I enjoy Nick’s reviews but you should only use what he says as part of the input you use when considering a knife. He’s frankly wrong about Kizer warranty service. They’re not KAI, Benchmade or Spyderco but they offer decent support.

Because of the import issues Kizer will typically send out parts for minor requests and replace knives for big problems.

OK, this has been a hectic couple of knife buying days.
I found out there's a Chris Reeve dealer in the vicinity of where I live.
So, I went there bright and early and picked up a Sebenza 21 Insingo.
What a beautiful little knife, and WAY MORE than I wanted to spend but I was powerless to resist.
Needless to say, the Kershaw Dividend will be up for sale, or returned as soon as I get it. If you're interested in it, PM me or email me at freilich at comcast dot net. I'll let it go for what I paid.
