A new favorite of mine. Such a great knife and steel. My top rotation.
We need more pictures, that’s a sweet knife . MG2Kevinim82 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 05, 2022 10:29 amCerberus scales. I’ve had these Jade-G 10 scales for a while. Dyed them dark blue yesterday. The translucent quality is kinda nice.
These scales are modeled after Strider handles, they give a lot more finger real estate.
I have that Strider love without the Strider pain in my wallet (or so I tell myself.)
Interested to hear your comparison thoughts.
I plan to do that after I get more time with the Siren . Truthfully they both have fine qualities. I had both in garage playing around with them this afternoon. I hope to post a comparison shot tomorrow Siren Vs. Large Goddard gray frn . The handles are similar which I fine interesting. MG2
Not to step on MG2's toes, but this thread has some comparisons between the Pacific Salt, Siren and Native Chief.

No worries vivi , actually thank you . I really think you have said just about everything I would say . Just my opinion I think the Pacific may have the strongest tip of the three from a hard user stand point . Thanks for imput , tomorrow I can move on to other projects.

They're all about the same size closed, but offer pretty different things.
Pacific Salt is the lightest, cheapest, and IMO in H1 PE the toughest.
Siren has the grippiest handle, a nice low profile wire clip, an edge that goes all the way to the handle, and feels a cut above the Pacific in terms of overall fit and finish and how nice it is.
Chief for me has the best ergos of the three, best blade shape, thinnest BTE from factory and some pretty awesome steel choices.
Once I get my new Siren I plan to let the Chief and Siren dominate my EDC.
Until then I've been carrying my Military every day at work and using the Chief for chores around the house.

I really like the color too. It is unique. I really wish the Native 5 SPY27 was the same color.Featherblade wrote: ↑Sun Feb 06, 2022 12:15 amI like the steel,
I like the ergonomics (well, nothing is perfect)
and this handle color is amazing - one of my favorites.
Poor guy , I checked elevation in my county in Illinois , I had been told of a spot that was supposed to be the highest in the county . They were correct on the map I checked out of curiosity, a whooping 830ft above sea level . No wonder I get such terrific headaches in Colorado. MG2
Last day MG2.Thanks Dan. It’s an interesting handle design for sure. I like how the knife is almost a deep carry with this handle design… it’s really easy to pull out of the pocket too.Manixguy@1994 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 05, 2022 7:26 pmWe need more pictures, that’s a sweet knife .

I completely understand, I have a friend who is a new member here that has a left hand Strider ( rare ) . I asked him years ago how he liked it . He said it worked great cleaning out his gutters ! I look at Arizona Custom too , once in a while there might be a good price on a knife but usually can be higher than my budget and common sense will allow . Thank you for sharing another picture , I like those scales . MG2Kevinim82 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 06, 2022 6:25 amThanks Dan. It’s an interesting handle design for sure.

I look at Arizona custom knives… I just can’t see myself paying grand for a knife when 200-300 dollar knives make me happy. I haven’t gone that far down the rabbit hole.
