I’ve had nothing but good experiences with the guy. A little pricey but prompt shipping and it helps that he’s already in California.

Still not as fast as DLT, though.

Snow!

Shorts weather here.

Couldn't get both in focus. Would've been a cool trick shot.

While I think the Delica is the easy answer, I’d actually say the original drop-point Stretch LW is a better candidate. The Stretch is still every bit of “reliable high performance,” like a Lotus Elise, but also even more clearly “designed in the dark,” which is a trait Sal is known for. Function ov...

Is this the knife everyone really wants?

If they got rid of the second point in the handle so my fat mitts were comfier, sure; I'd try one. I just find the Shaman handle to be a lot more comfortable. Looking forward to the Bodacious, also.

...a 3.5" Native Scout (or LW Shaman) might win out if push came to shove.... Of course, there are the existing, as well as the upcoming, Calys in 3.5" length. Different knife I know, and with a hump, but they share some of the charm that the proposed 3.5 Native would have, IMO. In case a...

Cold Steel American Lawman, AKA Cold Steel 3.5" Native. Shown with Native Chief and Native 5 for comparison.

I see what you did there.

Background: I own five Native 5's. I recently picked up a brown G10 / M390 Native Chief because I was wanting something a bit longer. The Chief is great, but it's a bit too long, and by not adding height to scales and blade the proportions are thrown off. I strongly prefer the bias toward closure o...

Full pocket dump today.

Pictures would help, but: sounds pretty normal for a production knife.

How does it cut?

I’d much rather have FRN. Other than being translucent, Ultem is an inferior material in every way.

This thread is making me want to get out my Southard with the STR clip. Steve was really great guy, one of those people who was just interested in others and available for any kind of conversation. He threw in a little Ti prybar when I got my Southard clip just because he wanted to give me one. I b...

https://i.imgur.com/1hn8RBC.jpg Finally got my M4 Tenacious back from W&R, about a month turnaround. I had stripped out one of the standoffs when disassembling for RIT dye. I was pretty disappointed with my dye job, but apparently it was good enough that W&R thought this was an OD Green Ten...

Really like the quote scroll and mention features, thank you @TazKristi (don't think the mention feature is working yet).

I feel like maybe some of the colors need to be adjusted - gray on gray is pretty low contrast, might be difficult for some folks to read.

Got the Benchmade 940-1 in the mail today 😃 Don't have much experience with Benchmade (4th one) but was happy to find it was very well tuned out of the box. No blade play, nicely centered and good action. I still have the classic 940 on my list, just one of those knives that I think any real collec...

Welcome, Bernhard!

I would echo Sal here, however I would add that the Native 5 is an excellent alternative to the Delica if you prefer something made in the United States.
