An Anso/Spyderco Mojo would be a great choice. I also think the Nemo would be popular as well. He does do some strange designs so it's probably a bit polarizing.

I like some of Boker's fixed blade knives and will continue to buy them.

I asked Sal in the Amsterdam meet 2012 thread if they were considering a left handed version of the Southard Hi Angus, We couldn't use the medallion and still have a 4 way clip. We opted for the 4 way clip. Left hand models for the Southard and Niilakka are a challenge in that a minimum number (1200...

If I'm not mistaken someone stabbed a car a few years ago with a Manix. I don't remember who it was but there was a long thread with pictures of multiple holes in a car all caused by a Spyderco.

For fixed blade the Enuff is really good. I bought some peel ply G10 at the same time that I bought the Enuff to replace the frn scales but when it came in I really liked the scales as they were. I have no plan on changing them now. For folder the Chokwe, Para 2, Military, Dodo, Yojimbo 2 and Manix ...

One of the first things the Inuit would do when they made a kill, especially in the winter, was to go for the gallbladder for it's vitamin D.

Great write-up. It's nice to see a lot of good info in one area for easy reference. Can't wait for it to expand. I don't know if it's worth putting it in or not as I haven't bothered reading the datasheet or reading about it on cpf but is the XT-E any good? I see it being sold at Illumination Supply...

Don't. Do not buy all three at once. If you buy them separate, the shipping will cost you about $15 more (but you can get them from dealers with free shipping as well) and "new knife high" will last three times longer :) :D Agreed that getting more than one knife at once does not allow as...

Just save time and shipping expense and get all three :) What are you using your knives for? Do you mind carrying a larger knife? Have you handled any of the above three and if not is there a knife store near you to try them out or a friend who has any of those? I have my reasons why I carry a Manix...

You said this is for Boy Scouts so I would go for the Native for the simple reason out of the three it has a bit better grip for smaller hands. Not that the other two will slip out of the hand easily but the ergo's of the Native does allow for a bit better grip.

I doubt you would notice the difference plus the Navaja is a very good deal. Making the handle 100% carbon fiber would only increase the price without increasing the value.

It's a process but I infect people all the time with my knives. At first they will be curious why I even have a knife, then they ask to see it. They'll play with the lock a bit then I get them to cut something, then they're asking how much. At first it's a shock but I usually have two or more Spydie...
