My favorite cf scales are on the sage1 and the gayle bradley, although the domino scales are growing on me! How about releasing the stretch model with different handle materials, along with differen...

Looks like i'll have to get another military black combo edge today, just so I have a spare! You're right, it seems only a few people recognize the diversity of a combo-edge knife these days!

good luck! i think one is on ebay for $275. i lost a bid on a well used one for about $170 a month ago. i don't like the nishijin scales. the're too smooth. i think there is some kind of clear coating over the fiber.

Good luck! There is one on ebay, or used to be for $275. I've been searching for a month! I lost a bid on a used one in good condition for around $170. I do not like the nishijin scales. They're too smooth, and it seems like there is a clear finish over the pattern.

For edc it doesn't matter. Depends on what you cut on a regular basis! For anything tougher than paper or cardboard i prefer a serrated edge. No sense in dulling the straight edge unnecessarily! so i prefer a 50/50 blade for my edc purposes. My favorite is my stretch combo edge, but i also carry a d...
