Re: Damasteel UK Penknife UKPK - DAMASTEEL PATTERN

1. Munin
2. Rose
3. Grosserosen

I’ve seen some larger blades in Rose, it almost makes an optical illusion of a rippled surface that looks great.

Re: Damascus para 3?

This is something I would love to see happen, I feel like the thick blade stock and FFG would really showcase the pattern.

Re: Pocket clip decisions and preferences

I’m with Darby on this one. I only actually carry pointy end down ever since I had a tip up Yojimbo 2 partially open in my pocket at work. I don’t know if I’d like wire clips or not since almost all are tip up only, they just aren’t compatible with my needs.

Re: What will you be getting from the new reveal?

Definitely a K390 Endura, possibly a Yojumbo once I get one in my fat hand to see how it feels, and a Shaman if I can get one.

Re: Please talk me into a military or para military

Yep. Definitely worth it. Steel selection aside, the fit and finish out of Golden is beyond compare. You only need to hear the solid click of a Native locking or feel the smooth deployment of ANY Golden model once and you’ll be sold.

Re: Delica 4 Patina

I know technically not a tool steel, but ZDP-189 isn’t clad and I believe it will take a patina as well.

Re: Question for other owners of Native5 S90V CF (C41CFFP5)

Yeah, I tried that ronT2. As soon as it’s tight enough for the clip to contact the scales it binds up. Not a deal breaker for me as long as I remember it’s upside down (for me) every time I use it.

Re: Cutlery Shoppe rex45 two-tone para3

Not bad, last fall I had a knife case go from San Fran, to Japan, to Seattle before making its way to me.

My CS Para 3, along with a HAP 40 Endura are currently awaiting pickup just across the border in Niagara Falls, glad everyone else is enjoying theirs.

Re: Question for other owners of Native5 S90V CF (C41CFFP5)

I’ve found mine to be an outstanding little knife (usually carry a Shaman or Endura at work). The only issue I found was the action getting extremely stiff when I flipped the clip for right hand, tip down carry. As long as you prefer tip up it’s an absolute treat, and even non knife people think it ...

Re: Best torx wrench set

I have and use both Wera and Wiha torx drivers are work and both are outstanding. If you are getting a multi bit set, I’ve found Wera handles to be a just a little nicer. The bit holders lock the bits in place instead of relying on springs or magnets.

Re: Spyderco and pride of ownership

For me it’s my carbon CPM 20CV Yojimbo 2. Still the smoothest action I’ve ever encountered straight out of the box. Close second goes to the 40th anniversary Native 5, the fit and finish is beyond compare. The solid click of the lock...
