Whats your latest knife purchase?

[MongooseV8]

Here are my latest purchases:

US made Kershaw Link. Bought 2 and swapped parts around to get the blue scales, blue back spacer, and S35V steel.




Benchmade 420 in S90V, super light weight.



Limited Sprint Run Spyderco Native 5 in M4 steel, natural G10 scales, and a titanium Lynch deep carry pocket clip.




Lastly a stoopid sharp BRK Bravo 1.25 LT in CPM-3V and red linen micarta scales. I almost cut off a finger the first time I used it camping.

Yes it was ordered around September / October of 2015. Its a dang nice knife but that wait time is killer.

Geesh. I waited 1 year on a Busse one time and that was too long. 3 years go by I might be collecting completely different types of knives, hahah. Glad you like it. Busse will take you money about 14 days before they ship... so sometimes the hit is unexpected. I guess that is much more preferable to them keeping your funds for a year.

That knife is beautiful with all that patina after use... I see that on some Moras after using where the patina cleans up even if I want it to stick.

52100 is close to the SR-101 Busse steel. I use quite a few stripped ones or factory polished ones and they do patina pretty easy with food or water, but even dry in kydex they stay spot free. Supposedly the SR-101 has a couple elements in slightly different amounts than 52100. I really like 5160 too.

Wow, what style is that considered?

That would be considered a relic from the bronze age.

I wasn’t planning on buying this but one of my knife dealers was having open house after they relocated, A Perfect Edge Cutlery in San Mateo, and I was working at their event on Saturday helping out and they had a ZT 0301 in the case and a new one in the box and the owner gave me a great deal so I grabbed it. They’re going to be having a clearance sale coming up in April, if you’re in the area.

I need to get a bigger clip for this beast...

If the Bugout was $20 less, or the same price with nice G10 scales instead of the FRN (plastic scales), I would consider getting one.

I had the same thoughts too. I was also concerned with the fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) scales. It is very very light and thin. It fits my EDC for now. I have several that I rotate depending on my needs or whim.
