Whats your latest knife purchase?

The basic difference between the Whiskers 1 and 2 is that the 1 comes w/a 3 1/8" blade and a bolster release while the 2 is 3.75" long and comes w/a scale end release.

Preferred the 2 because of the longer blade but never liked the scale end release; just couldn't get the hang of using it so I sold it. The 1 is smaller than I like but the bolster release on the 1 is much easier and intuitive to use.

Good lookin out, I prefer my blades between 3.25-3.6" so I think I'd go V2 also

I've been trying to get a CRKT Squid with the green handle or the natural g10 handle. It's become difficult to acquire. I've been on a waiting list for a long time. There's one on eBay with the g10 handle in green. The person selling it thinks it's worth $135.00. Let's just say it's been on there for quite a while.

Same, I want the G-10 Squid for the D2 blade.

It was Trump's fault.

CRK Sebenza 31 Large!
Glad that I changed to the large one at the last minute.

What are your impressions> I've heard mixed reviews.

I want one but the non thumbflick kind of keeps me away

Beautiful knife!! I want one in Bog oak or Micarta.

I just wish for a $500+ knife CRK would upgrade their steel to a better steel.

This was a gift. Decent import Chef knife. It has a great edge and shaves like a razor.

Very nice, I've been thinking of buying a used HDFK if the right one comes along.

I got a new Covert from Tom Mayo. Tom's a bit of a friend and I've got a few of his knives. He makes knives that are simple, ergonomic and sublime. He's in his 70s and may not be active forever, so when I had the chance to score a Covert directly from him, I couldn't pass it up!

The Covert is an interesting knife. Mine is a medium, so about a 3.5" blade. The really interesting thing is that a covert is completely rust proof and non magnetic. The scales are 6AL4V Titanium, so non-ferrous. The blade is Stellite 6K, so a cobalt matrix with lots of carbides, but no iron. Add in all Ti hardware and you have a knife that can live around water and never rust, or maybe even slip into places where it shouldn't. The story is that Tom originally designed the Covert for some Alphabet Soup .gov guys that were security conscious. The covert is the one in the pic with all the holes. I am super stoked!

I have another knife from Tom (TNT model) that is the same profile, but has a steel blade and hardware, so would trigger a metal detector, unlike the Covert. It's the one with the straight line of holes in the pic. It's a favorite EDC for me as it's slim and easy to carry, but super useful. The blade on this one is 154CM and is slightly pitted as I took it swimming in the Pacific on a trip to Hawaii. The pitting is purely cosmetic and would negatively affect resale value, but doesn't impact the knife's performance at all.

Ya i want a HDFK as well but the DEK1 looks promising too. In antique micarta or gray terotuff

If I can figure out how to share a pic on this photo hostile site, I'll share later. Any tips appreciated.

I wish i could afford a Mayo. I have a MDD-K which is a production version of his Mayo Dr Death. It was made my Wingman edc and man it is a nice knife. I hope some day i could grab one of his customs and a kirby lambert too.

Just bought a USA made Kershaw. It is a Link 1776BLK. It replaces my Zero Tolerance which is quite heavy.
