I totally forgot about the domino. Just after they came out I had one for a little bit. Actually I used it as a partial trade on my Sebenza (I guess why I forgot about it so fast). Yes definitely a nice knife.
Top right with some other spydies and a 710
I might of liked it more (and possible not traded it) had I not had a Sage3 at the same time.
Love the “bill Cosby sweater” CF weave. I need to either get another domino or get a new Sage 3.
Really like the Domino, not sure about the blade steel. Like the flipper, haven’t had one before. Was looking to get my first S30V in the Spyderco.
I’ve been using ATS-34 from Benchmade and Buck/Strider and like it pretty well. Wanted to “step up” a notch.
From what I can tell, the Carpenter blade steel probably falls between 154 and S30V, would that be about right? Kind of a stainless D2?
Was trying to kill 4 birds with one stone…S30V, DLC, ball lock and Spyderco all in one fell swoop. 
The Manix2 XL in black. (keeping in mind that liner or frame locks are my favorite.)
(Was planning on getting my Ti Texas Poker DLC coated but Photon Fanatic didn’t have a batch going in at the time)
The Sage Ti Frame lock with full Ti scales looks pretty nice as well. Decisions decisions.
I would rank the XHP better than S30V but I’ve never been impressed with S30V (I would also rank D2 above S30V.
XHP is very tough (as is D2), not to hard it chips but can take a serious beating. It’s not M4 tho, that’s my all time favorite steel. I did a chop test of 8-3 romex with M4 vs D2 and the D2 needed totally redone, the M4 only needed stropped…
Yes I would say XHP being called a “stainless D2” is accurate, I would however put both well above S30V.
Spyderco Sage
ESEE Zancudo, the red one is some dealer exclusive, maybe knifeworks. Got this last Xmas (when they first came out) from my kids.
Only work on it was to drill/tap it for a standard hole pattern deep carry clip.
This is my all time favorite knife. If i had to give up all my knives except one, this is the one I'd keep. (All four given the chance)

Dale, how come your Sibert has a different pocket clip than mine?
[/quote ]
Honestly , I have no idea… the pocket clips seem to vary. At first I thought it was because mine is titanium. But after looking… they seem to vary no matter the material used
I think yours is the very first format of the 755 MPR. They changed the pocket clip to the titanium one like on mine. They also lengthened the “juice gutter”. Anyway, no matter what version, the 755 is discontinued. That’s news to me.
The 755’s are discontinued?? That seems odd as popular as they are…
It’s BM, I love them but they seem to do the exact opposite of what the market suggests.
Just got it yesterday.

The Buck Mini Strider with it’s ATS-34 Bos heat treated blade at .17” thick and 3” long. Tough little heavy duty knife. G10 scales and Ti liners in a liner lock configuration. Been abusing this one for over a decade. This is normally EDC as it has been since I got it around 13 years ago. When shooting a job I carry the Mini AFCK in slacks. When traveling I carry the full sized AFCK. Both AFCK’s in ATS-34. And occasionally the Nimravus Cub, with a D2 black coated blade.
Gayle Bradley M4 blade with CF scales or Sage 2 Titanium mono-lock with S30V? That Ti Sage 2 is looking pretty dang awesome!
This Rough Rider is getting a lot of pocket time recently, non threatening and enough for most of the things I do that require a knife.
Dude, not even comparable, M4 all the way!
Bob Lum Chinese Folder With foliage green Almite coated aluminum scales and black BodyCoat blade.
That’s a very handsome looking knife.
Hi isti.
I’ve just been looking at your Steel Reviews blog (again) I’ve had to shift the Y-Start with stonewash,G10 bolsters and red/white Micarta scales to my “Must Have” list. Your modded clip looks great as well.
I’ve not got around to the 7071’s yet but I’m due a gift cert from FastTech I believe., that might make the price of the 7071 attractive.
Your posts always seem to lead to me wanting knives and spending money, Oh! Wait! that’s normal for me. :bigsmile:
One of these has spent a bit of pocket time recently, small but useful.
