New lil matriarch!
Jut showed up in the mail today. I did a trade and got this Matriarch (albeit, no clip ) brand new. It's a sweet blade and I love how it looks. It's buttery smooth to open, just the right weight and looks mean. Im borrowing the clip from my manix2 DLC for now, but I'll be getting an Endura soon that I plan to keep in my car, so I'll take the clip from that and slap it on the matriarch. I'll update when I get more user experience with it :D

Re: New lil matriarch!
Congrats! I have a plain edge lil matriarch and it is great. It has a less pronounced tip than its parents and this makes it a far better EDC. Enjoy!!!

Congrats! But hopefully, you will never need to use it.

Nah, I hope you use it all the time! :D
Screw the labels and categorization put upon some of these knives! Don't let that hold you back from using it for your daily tasks!
That tip is just asking to penetrate some box!
Going back to Caly.

Yup, exactly! I think it's a shame this knife kind of got "pigeon holed" as a SD blade because it makes a great edc.SpeedHoles wrote:SpyderNut wrote:Congrats! But hopefully, you will never need to use it.

I guess what was trying to say (in a tongue-in-cheek kind of way), is that I hope you don't ever have to use it for self-defense. By all means, use and enjoy for EDC.

Re: New lil matriarch!
I also have a plain-edged lil matriarch and agree that it is a nice little knife, may be a bit underestimated.
I would like to side-track a bit: how would you sharpen this knife? Can it be done with the Sharpmaker? Thanks!

Sharpen on the corners of the sharpmaker rods at 40 degrees. Be very careful not to drag the tip or you will lose your needle tip.bchan wrote:I also have a plain-edged lil matriarch and agree that it is a nice little knife, may be a bit underestimated.
