Rex45 and Micarta are match made in heaven for me! Been putting this off for a while, as the Crucarta Shaman is iconic and also a sentimental knife to me. I just figured it was time to give my favorite steel, my favorite handles!

Very nice!

Sorry to see the Cru-wear blade go, but I understand that the steel was run too soft to get the performance you need. Mine has also been underwhelming and has been considered for the chopping block for the same reason. I don’t have your cutting requirements, so I’ll keep mine for a while longer.

Mantra for me today…

We're all probably weird. I do like the scale color for shure! And, honestly, never met a DF2 I didn't like, lol. I actually like the K390 color but just can't make myself replace my BRG ZDP DF2, it's just so reliable. It was my first "super steel" which probably accounts for my attachment to it.

That color would look nice on one of my Mules. Hmm... Where to find?

I've come to think the handles are actually the most iconic part of the knife. There's a lot of Cruwear out there these days...but not these magnificent scales that Spyderco provided us right out of the box! I like all my micarta handled knives...this one is my favorite though, I love how worn in they look and that soft/smooth/grippy all in one feeling is THE BEST!

This would’ve been a decent shed but the squirrels found it before I did.

For over a week now. It has been a while since I carried the Military for more than a weekend. Kinda getting me excited for whichever ( K390 ) may come next.

Thanks Bohawg, possibly the best Spyderco in terms of ergonomics in my hand anyways, it feels like i squeezed clay and then froze it in micarta and stainless. And its cute somehow, like a daschund kind of…

Hmmm, i wonder if certain models appeal differently to cat people and dog people. As a cat person and YO2 lover you’ve got me thinking…

I am not sure why, but the Yojimbo looks very yummy to me.

Actually Patch only consumes dry food . Canned food is for my live trap to eradicate Raccoons, big ones go to a state trap range and smaller ones sometimes a buddy will take to make barbecue , but that’s another story . MG2
