I'm having a hard time not carrying this one. It's fabulous regardless of price. I'd really like to take it apart to see the bearings and detent specs but it's too good to mess around with 🙂

Did yours come with a cool little pouch with extra pieces of ALL HARDWARE used to assemble the knife? I got one with the Slayback I ordered and thought that was pretty freaking cool!

Just the pouch and no extra hardware for this one. No complaints though for $140. I'm surprised they're still in stock

Caved and got the small 31 too. I really like them, but weird as it sounds, they don’t quite cut the same as a Spydie. Hard to put into words. They’re extremely nice and well built, but won’t be kicking many Spydercos out of my hoard/collection.

It's that convex grind brother! I fixed 2 of my 3 so they are at 17 and 15dps...much better cutters now!

Yeah, I thought so. I may try to cut the shoulders back later this week on the large.

That's my all time favorite fixed blade right there.

Not my most carried lately, but when it comes to accumulated belt time, nothing else even comes close.

Hey fellow European! :-) I carry it in my backpack, but I am getting into leather craft and I think I can make a scout carry sheath for it. Then it will kick *** for EDC. :cheap-sunglasses

It is funny how much a sheath is a make or break thing for a fixie.

The Tops Frog Market Special Tandem & the Condor Jungle Bowie arrived today.
Initial impressions, I really like both Tops knives.
I think they will make wonderful camp knives and good kitchen knives at home. They came decently sharp but, not Spyderco Province or Zoomer sharp....
The Condor Jungle Bowie, I kinda wander what the **** I was thinking lol....not to take anything away from the knife, because it's okay. It's needs sharpening and the sheath is nice.
At any rate, I'll post a few pics. I'm gonna sharpen up these Frog Market Specials and see how they do.

Went with the four inch duo today in case I legitimately need to defend myself at work. Yesterday morning I unknowingly drove into the middle of a active shooter situation, and then at my second job yesterday, someone got stabbed to death right in front of the building I was at.

Yeah who could have predicted that? :eye-roll
The whole "defund the police" movement is truly evil, in my opinion.
