Plain Edge, Stonewash S30V, Contoured smooth black G-10, Stonewash hardware...

The base model Shaman.

I agree, that is a sweet combo.

Congrats! Yes they are addictive!

Not a Cruwear wharny, but I'll leave this here anyway...

There I was, nicely balanced on the fence, then you, Hans, had to invite me to give it a go… Next week, I imagine I’ll also be chamfering mine, too. Guilty as charged Marc... 😂 😇 This is not the first time I've smoothed corners on scales, but I want to credit (not blame!) Jeff for this idea on his ...

…the AWT liner delete is a freaking revelation for the PM2.

Yes those AWT scales are done right!

Ottermesser “Three Rivet” slipjoint in 1075 carbon steel and African Blackwood. From Solingen Germany.

Military CF/Ti S90V, Knifeworks Exclusive.

I had the same idea before for a Native 5 LW, but the following thought crossed my mind. Are the threaded inserts in the FRN (I assume there are for the Para3 like the Native 5 LW) made of the same material between the salt and the regular? If not, I assume you could compromise the corrosion resista...

M2!

Happy birthday mate!

https://i.postimg.cc/Gpf8cP9x/IMG-4911.jpg I tried tip down for a few days, because I prefer that on the M1. I noticed however that the M2 clip sits about 1.5mm higher/more proud above the scales compared to the M1's broad flat curved clip. As a result, for me it was not as comfortable tip down as ...

DIY chamfering goes along way with this one.

Sweet! I'm going to chamfer the PM2 and new M2 too.

M390

In the eye of this beholder, nothing about that design appeals to me.

Under closer inspection, it appears as if the "engraving" is simply a high polish, rather than a laser engraving? Notice the absence of grind lines in the logo on this Siren. It has a mirror polish. https://i.postimg.cc/Hsg9qXc7/IMG-4903.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/cCVPXBmy/IMG-2323.jpg The s...

Follow-up video, where he disassembles the knives. https://youtu.be/XJgGMVTJ7MU As mentioned in the “Native 5 Magnacut HRC” thread, he is using a rebound hardness tester that is neither the industry best practice nor accurate for knives. Still, the video is an interesting data point for corrosion re...

The same light markings are on the LC200N salts. My guess is it is to reduce the chance of corrosion on the markings, probably because it has a smoother finish.

I do not have plans to replace the clip on the PM2 Salt. I figure the extra pocket retention is a good thing for the beach or outdoors, so I can live with it. That shallow MXG ti clip is a drop-in replacement for the OEM spoon clip on the PM2, Manix, Delica, Endura etc. I have one on the Swayback an...

The Cruwear M2 has landed on my doorstep. My example is pretty much perfect...

I've already put it to work, but I'm keeping it tip-down for now while I form an opinion.

Here is a corrosion test against a Native 5 Salt.
