That is exquisite! Quality is something that holds no price tag and is often most appreciated by simply admiring its beauty.

How long was the wait on that? I’ve thought about it but haven’t dipped my toe.

I had an ultratech which is pretty much the same thing. The switch was really stiff on it and a buddy wanted it, so I sold it to him. Kinda wish I had kept it.

Damnit I wish you guys would stop spending my money. I just got an ESEE 3 and that sheath is beautiful

And, of course, I’ve stripped two of the Allen screws holding the factory clip. Sigh.
I’m liking this Elementium button lock. My first flipper and didn’t know what to expect but I’m a fan.
Am I seeing embroidered Ballistol table linens?
Not new, but it has been in retirement for years. My favorite skinning knife

Lol yes, but there not table linens, just some ballistol rags! They pretty sweet!
Civivi makes a darn good knife.

It's turned into my favorite edc.
Another HFB to add to the collection.
+1 on that Anza
Here's my bad Larry.
Anza knives are made from high carbon files. I can get it super sharp and They hold an edge longer than any other knife i own.
Most are D2 steel,edge retention is great.

Dude I almost did that last night. My eyes are weak and I thought they were Philips head. It’s torx I found out and they are really locked in. I’m waiting on a smaller set of bits now. Who the F Carries a knife tip down?
Here is my new spyderco PM2 in maxemet steel. Just came in the mail yesterday

I grabbed this in the factory 2nds sale a couple of years ago. I didn’t love the shape, or the clip, or the lock, but the price was right and I wanted to check out maxamet. It definitely won me over. It’s a really great knife with top shelf steel. I treat it like shit and the action’s still smooth and the blade looks like the day I got it.

Yeah this is my first spyderco and I’ve been a collector since I was a kid. Like you, the blade shape kind of put me off as I figured the tip would be weak.
I got to play with one a buddy has and I fell in love. I actually like the liner lock on the back side. Seems safer and my hand isn’t on it when I hold it.
I’m not a great sharpener though and this steel has a reputation for being a bitch to sharpen
You won’t need to for a while. That’s the whole point of this steel that it keeps its edge a long time.
One thing to give spyderco, my Para 3 was really sharp from the factory. Most knives I end up sharpening immediately on either my 1500 or 6000 grit stones. The Para 3 I just stropped a bit and it is wicked sharp. This thing really cuts.

I like that sheath. I’m not a big fan of kydex for larger knives

Good to hear. It seems nice but many reviews say the sheath is sub par. Time will tell, I haven’t used it yet.
