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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

Large or small?
