Wow!
Happy Halloween!
Civivi Wyvern - A lot of knife for not much money. Bought this one just for Halloween carry - the only thing I didn’t like was the matching orange backspacer, so I dyed it black.
Typical fantastic Civivi action, great fidget factor…sharp D2 blade with a flipper tab, a beautiful hollow grind, and a full length fuller that makes it easy to forward and reverse flick…comfortable, countoured, dragon scale FRN handles…and a MILLED titanium pocket clip.

RIT dye?
Yes, but i had “Graphite”. I’d previously used it on a set of g10 bugout scales that were originally a little too light gray for my liking. I left the backspacer in it for 20 mins and it came out as black as the blade.
Though as soon as I’d done it I thought I should have bought another Wyvern with black scales and swapped the backspacers between them.

If I didn’t already have a tinker I would be buying this.

Another Civivi from John at the Edge lab (member here). Sinisys cross lock with a flipper tab and it's super smooth, a little bigger than I was expecting but not too big for an edc either and it does fit nice n the hand.

Always impressed by CIVIVI's packaging. Zippered pouch and wipe down cloth in a nice box. CIVIVI's are gift-worthy knives.
The Wyvern in Dragon Skin Orange is a well-made and impressive knife for the cost. A very good value in my opinion.
The scales are grippy, the blade form and line is attractive and well-executed. Light and built for EDC, this new blade will enter
my rotation... but not until the dye I ordered has come in and been applied. The contrast of the black on orange is eye catching
(like in the one posted by @jamison55) sealed the deal for me. The Ti pocket clip is also very exciting and very attractive.
A step above the mundane spring-steel clips found on nearly every other modern folder.
Thanks for the turn-on Jamison!

My 7yo daughters Christmas gift has shipped, a Buck 110. My dad gave me one when I was about her age and one of my biggest regrets is not knowing what happened to it.
I stumbled on to a hefty coupon code with Buck, so I also grabbed my self a Vanguard 192 since I didn't have a nicer man jeweler piece. Maybe I am getting old, but I find myself looking at more classic knives as everyone around me is jerking it to these fancy flippers.![[laugh]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/012.gif "Laugh [laugh]")

I carry a Buck 110 on my belt EDC. It is a "foundational" knife in my opinion. My pocket-carry knives get swapped in and out regularly though for fun.My 7yo daughters Christmas gift has shipped, a Buck 110.

The CIVIVI's are made by WI Knife, one of the biggest knife-makers in China. They are a great product. My knives have an "International" flavor...

Love "Knives"...
A friend of mine came across a USMC Kabar and passed it on to me because I collect knives. It will definitely get the job done, whatever job it may be. I can’t seem to nail down a date for it, probably 70’s or later.
Someday I’ll get myself a little Randall. Kittery usually has a handful in stock, although I know if I go up there I’ll be grabbing a Buck 110 auto.

2 week ago I picked up a Buck VANGUARD 192 from Casco Bay Cutlery and Kitchenware in Freeport, ME. Extensive collect of Victorinox/ Swiss Army, had me thinking about my early 80's tinker.

I just found out about the back story behind the Buck 112, basically a shorter 110 because the Navy made a rule about knife length due to sailors getting in trouble with their 110's, and now I want one because FTN!

The 112's are a nice medium folder for the pocket. A little bit heavy, but you can always tell it's there...
The 55 is even better for the pocket...
Buck 55, 112, 110...
