Post by ZrowsN1s »

I have an interest in some new Lil Matriarchs.

In no particular order,

PE and SE K390 Full Flat Grind if possible.
Lil Matriarch Salt (H1, LC200N, or Magnacut)
Emerson Wave Lil Matriarch

Anyone else share my desire for more iterations of this knife?

Hi Matt,

I'll watch the thread, but in all honestly, anything new added to the current queue will be a while coming to market.

Yes please! If it comes with teeth and black FRN, I'll take whatever I can get my grubby lil hands on.

A black H1 Salt would be a definite buy for me. I am one that always thought the Lil Matriarch made an interesting and useful EDC. I would love a Salt version not just to use for fishing and outdoor activities but because I think H1 would be an ideal steel to use for a knife with such a fine tip.

Did folks have issues with the vg-10 versions? I’d certainly pick one up i the basic vg-10 SE configuration. Its the only delica handle knife I’ve ever been interested in.

I seem to remember you making a net trapped bird a big fan of the Lil Matriarch as well?

Which really isn't THAT bad of a price these days, considering every where else has gone up in prices, but Bento has remained the same.

Despite how much I don't like the Delica handle, I'd buy a SE waved Lil Matriarch and get custom scales.

I almost picked one of these up a year or so ago when they were selling for ~$90. I was into teeth at the time though.

This thread isn't about the VG-10 Bento Lil Matriarch, but I disagree about the price. 149 is sticker price, then add 15 to ship, and 12 in tax, $177 is outrageous for an FRN VG-10 Lil Matriarch. Thats about a 54% markup if you're charitable and say $115 is a reasonable price for an exclusive Delica. For Context I paid $115 shipped for my K390 Wharncliffe Delica, and $110 shipped for my S30V Teal Exclusive. I can get a base VG-10 Matriarch 2 for $110 shipped and a blacked out waved Matriarch 2 for $136 shipped. My SE K390 Police4 cost less than $177.

However, as I said this thread has nothing to do with that. I would still be making this thread even if I had the Bento Lil Matiarch sitting in my pocket right now.

This is about wanting a Salt version, a waved version, and a K390 version.

So far it seems the biggest interest is for a Blacked out Salt Lil Matriarch, which would be awesome.

I agree. And the BBS version is PE. I'm only interested in SE for this model. I feel like Hawkbills and Reverse S blades make the most sense in SE. Everything else I prefer PE.

Yep, H1 SE Blacked Out Salt would be my top choice for a new run.

I'll buy any Lil Matriarch that's waved and serrated. I'd also buy them if they're not waved but still serrated.
