I have the itch for one soooo bad. I'll probably pull the trigger sometime soon.

Mine arrived today, beauty, held off getting one due to how thick a blade it had, but was finally swayed :)

Need to handle one of these & see how it feels in-hand. Like the looks of it.

When thinking of the words "love at first sight," the Techno comes to mind. :) I've yet to find a knife that fits my every-day needs more perfectly than my Techno. It carries beautifully in my pocket too. In fact, I hardly know it's even there most of the time. I could probably ramble on about the Techno and its features for forever, but I think you get the gist. I simply love this solid "little-big" knife. :D

I love mine, like many mine has seen more pocket time than any of my others. I do love little big knives and this one hits the nail on the head.

I'm afraid I won't be able to show all the love I feel for this knife :)
It kicked all other folders from my pockets (only ZDP Ladybug on my keys and fixed blade that I always carry are safe).
I think it is perfect EDC folder for me.

Thank you, fixed blade is made by lithuanian knifemaker Andrius Tricius (TRC knives).

I love love love my Techno as well. It gets the most time in my pocket by far, probably 80-90% with a little PM2 action on the side. My favorite spydie so far.

^ awesome photo man! I love my Techno as cool. Such a cool little knife. I have a small Sebenza which I LOVE, but the Techno is so **** cool it might overtake that as EDC. Don't have any cool photos, but I do have the Cuscadi orange backspacer. I haven't put it on yet and not sure when I will...don't want to ruin that warranty just yet.

This is kind of a weird question, but did everyone's Techno come in a cut open plastic? I bought mine from HKS and was just wondering if they came from the factory in a cut open plastic or it's supposed to be sealed. I saw that tuffthumbz on YT has the same cut open plastic.

Bought mine used, but my PM2 came in a plastic sleeve with one end open.

I've beat the snot out of my Techno. The abuse makes me shameful but also a little prideful to know I don't baby the thing.
One thing I have learned from the Techno is that I'll probably never buy a stonewashed blade again as a user or EDC. Blame my sloppy inattentive sharpening but my Techno now has a zebra stripes from the stone corners.
Regardless, I love the steel, FnF, and handle material. Great knife all around, mine just isn't so pretty any more. A model of true beausage.

Mine came sealed in the plastic from Howes. It also has a darker clip than an earlier Techno I had.

I can't help but hear the voice of Roger when reading anything you post!


My Techno has been a daily companion for months, and I'm liking it more and more.

I think being lucky enough to have owned a number of mid-tech and full custom knives made me appreciate how amazing the Techno is.

I was worried that there wouldn't be enough of the spyder hole available on the lockbar side to still index finger flip but I can JUST make it ;)
She's a dandy alright for sure, while mine arrived pretty sharp, toothy sharp, it's not as sharp as I have my Tenacious right now, but I know it will be once I've sharpened it on the edge pro, BUT I kinda like the toothy edge and will use that for a while.

Sal, I'd love to see a short video of someone showing how you guys sharpen your knives, I figure it's on a belt sander? This one had a burr on one side but was easy to cure and strop.

I wonder if they're from different runs? All of the unboxing videos that I saw on YT showed them not sealed in the plastic. But I had one earlier that came sealed. A newer one I have came unsealed.

I'm just wondering if it's something from the factory or something that the shops do to make sure everything is okay before shipping? Mine still looked brand new of course, I was just wondering.
