Re: Ho Ho Ho, it’s a K390 Christmas!

Wasn’t all that sure about the Lil’ Temperance but wanted to try one, well now that I’ve been using it for well over a month, this is one great little workhorse, perfect for my...

Will textured micarta be any more abrasive to pant pockets than G10? How does cruwear look after years of pocket use? Thanks all Welcome! - The Cruwea...

One that didn't surprise me....the serrated K390 LeafJumper, I knew it was going to be fantastic before I ever held or used it!

Re: EDC recommendation: Native 5 LW – S30V or SPY27?

Get your new knife & Sharpmaker, watch Sal’s video….several times and it’ll all click, you’ll figure it out. With SPY27 you’ll be perfectly fine with the fine and medium rods that comes with the kit. I’m not a sharpening guru, I sharpen everything on the Sharpmaker, serrated, carbon tool steels,...

Thank you for all the great feedback! I just placed an order for a Native 5 with SPY27 and a Shapemaker.

Not a bad choice.

Hope you´ll report back how you like them.
Ha, can't wait to hear which knife he's planning on next, cause you know it's gonna happen! ;)
