that black and yellow looks sick.

sal, if you're listening, please make all the salts available with coated blades and in blackout versions (i.e. yellow/coated, yellow/satin, black/coated).

also, i'd really love a coated lb salt with red and black zome handles. 🐞

I'd really like some non H1 Hawbills! But I agree, the Green and Black USN version is SWEET, and I'm not a real fan of coated blades!

I don't like directly attaching to the lanyard hole with an s-biner, feels like I'm wearing away the frn. SS split rings are cheap enough that I buy them a dozen at a time.

I lost my hawkbill Ladybug from one of those little S-biners. I don't use them anymore.

Those are what I use as well (clipped to the split rings on the knives/keys) and they definitely come unclipped in my pocket all the time. Luckily I haven't lost anything from them, but it seems like just a matter of time. I need to find a better solution.

I've lost keys off them. :(

So, I switched to the locking version of them and haven't had any issues since.

As Tom said, switch to the locking versions. I was going to mention that earlier, but forgot.

those s-biners are a pain to deal with. the locking type is even more so. i use one on my keys and haven't been able to find anything to replace it though.
