^ Steel is real!
Been thinking hard about building me another mountain bike....if I do it'll be a steel slack HA 27.5" or 29" hardtail with somewhere around a 140mm fork.

Re: Blade HQ M4/Micarta Shaman

Not to mention, those micarta models just melt into your hand! Don't hear many people say the Shaman isn't ergonomically great, but contoured micarta brings it to the next level.

Re: The Carry Conundrum

I have the luxury of living 10/12 minutes from work, I eat lunch at home four days a week. It’s very common for me to take one knife with me in the morning and switch out at lunch and carry a different knife in the afternoon.

Between the two you posted, for me….absolutely the Native!

Someone tell that new fella the best all-around steel is Cru-Wear so he can get to buying!

To think that last week I was mere 3 miles away as I drove through Conway on my way to Myrtle Beach! Pretty cool!
You obviously drove the speed limit going through there as you didn't mention getting a ticket....it's the speed trap capitol of the South!
