I've never looked at a D'Allara, probably because the lock doesn't appeal to me. But ANYTHING with a CBBL would get my attention. Its similarity to Benchmade's AXIS lock is what brought me here in the first place. With all due respect, to me the CBBL feels like a Gen 1 Glock trigger, gravelly and h...

I took a pic of my O.G. D'Allara to show what i think would be the remedy for the newer, G10 ones. Scalloping around the ball.
I have no problem whatsoever opening and closing my D'Allara.

The problem would be easily solved by scalloping the scales around the ball. The O.G. D'Allara doesn't have the problem at all.
Please don't ruin it by putting a CBBL on it!

I'm wearing my early birthday present to myself, the Bulova Jet Star 97B214 a stunning piece with a heavy 1973 vibe IMO

I highly recommend him, fit and finish is superb and the overall feel is improved.

Is there a generic price range? I have wondered about adding custom scales to an Endura.

I don't know. I knew what i wanted and found his price acceptable. :) Shoot him a mail and ask!

Suingab Ironwood Endela scales.

I wonder if it's a Japanese-owned company based in Hong Kong/China, for lower manufacturing costs. 'Katsu' is a Japanese name. Jim Apparently the blades are manufactured, or at least heat treated in Japan. Regardless of origin, it's a smooth nice knife with scary sharp convex ground ZDP-189 blade.

I got it today, very smooth, very Rockstead-y and scary sharp. I'm happy with it!

Anyone own/has owned one?
I have the Ti scale, 17 layer ZDP-189 model in the mail, but is curious bout y'all having any experience with Katsu knives.

Suingab does amazing work.

Best way to get in touch is through email off of his website. Everything is made to order. He will ask some questions to ensure he knows what you want.

Second that whole heartedly!

Belated congrats! Here's to many happy returns.

Actually the Panigale’s and a lot of the newer Ducatis don’t use desmodromic valve actuation anymore. They switched over to valve springs like the rest of the world. But yes, ANY V4 sounds ultra badass! Ape’s, Duc’s, Honda’s MotoGP engines and everything else V4 is just the best sound out there! .....

Happy birthday young lady!

I am surprised that nobody has mentioned the K2. It’s a beast of a knife and really too large and heavy for reasonable pocket carry. The only beastly thing i found with my K2 was that it was apparently made to open once and never close - without the use of force, tools or both.. Lock stick is an un...

Nice reveal!
Cruwear Milly 2, Maxamet Sage 5 LW and SpyMyto are especially intriguing me!

Huzza huzza! :)

Found this unicorn model, only produced one year during BMW's ownership of Husqvarna before KTM took over and discontinued it. Husqvarna TR 650 Terra Nice score! Those are sweet! I rode a BMW 650 XChallenge for 6 years. Same engine and form factor as the Terra that came afterwards. I wanted one for...
