Re: Chris Reeve Knives
People sure are building a lot of debt. A big spike in "luxury" purchases during a time of global recession seems to me like a lot of credit card debt. Things will get more interesting in the near future, sadly.

Re: Chris Reeve Knives
Excellent combo!

Got this beauty a while ago but finally got around to taking a picture of it. Check it out next to that Baby Horn
Re: Chris Reeve Knives
Very nice!
I realize it's probably all in my head, but I swear this Magnacut 31 has the nicest edge of any CRK from the factory I ever had.

Re: Chris Reeve Knives
My Magnacut 31 had a far (very far) superior factory edge to my other CRK offerings. Almost on par with a Golden Spydie. I was quite surprised. My previous CRKs had factory edges that hovered somewhere between butter knife to butterfly brand, so I didn't expect much, but was quite happy with it.

Hmmmm, wonder if they changed their grind?? That's great to hear from you guys though.

Re: Chris Reeve Knives
I think I've tried them all and must say that this has been my favorite lately for car camping when time allows. Everything tastes better in the woods and pour over coffee has been a rabbit hole I didn't know existed!kennethsime wrote: ↑Sun Aug 07, 2022 9:05 pmI see you have fine taste it both knives and coffee brewing methods.

Re: Chris Reeve Knives
Man, no kidding about the rabbit hole.
We do pour overs car camping, but usually leave the scales at home. I see your dedication and tip my hat sir!

For anyone OK with eating raman for the rest of their lives, DLT has a bunch of nice CRKs up on the site.

Re: Chris Reeve Knives
None that I've seen at the moment. Recon1 seems to be getting the newer models in Magnacut in small spurts recently.
I'm selling my Large 31 with the Box Elder inlays, hoping to grab a small insingo 31 myself to pair with my Large Inkosi insingo. I'll let you know if I stumble across any!
