Re: Blade HQ Shaman exclusive coming, green micarta and DLC steel? (M4)

Having had numerous Shaman over the years now as well as several BHQ DLC M4 knives I am in for this one. Looks like a choice of materials for an edc user.

Re: Blade HQ Native Chief M4 Exclusive C244GM4PBK

As for the aftermarket scales question - I would agree on this - the G10 has more stiffness than some of my micarta scales I believe. With the linerless design of the Native Chief seems like the stiff G10 scales material may be needed.

Re: Spyderco Watu is the answer to my quest

It's in my pocket today. Fantastic slicer, great looks, very good fidget factor (the holes really help with grip on the knife I find), deep carry standard, great performing corrosion resistant steel... hard to top this knife!

Re: Im on the fence....undecided

I am going to end up with all three eventually (looking at you Crucarta pre-order Vapo-knife lol). Prob. going to swap out the REx45 blade into a g10 handle. If only buying one I would go for the SMKW M4 variant - different scales than the norm, great steel as well. Copper scales will be heavy for ...

Re: Shaman Cru-Wear Sprint Run release ?

Have any of y'all --who have one of these-- oiled the micarta yet? If so, curious how much it darkens. Thanks. Micarta will clean back up to it's original shade nicely and easily in my experience with some mild dish soap and hot water. When clean and dry it looks like new even if really grungy...
