Just bought a Buck 501 Squire for my 13 year old Godson, his first knife.
I remember my Brother bought me a Buck 110 as my first knife at the age of 16. Used it for many years then lost it in the Quakees in Utah.
And a Buck 119 leather sheath, as mine is fudged up.
Been carrying the Mordax for 2 weeks. Very fast break in period. Been in front pocket with my phone which has caused some ano to rub off. Ano is weak, but the this knife is the shit! Very happy with it! :sunglasses:
Some of the latest models are overpriced but the quality is very good. The 9202 is similar to a paramilitary 2 with superb quality but I still prefer the Land 155 with ball bearings.
I like more the 1168 model, a bit like a tenacious?. Well, the little 7228 seems me a beauty, it is like a happy folding knife and make me feel happy too.
Battery Junction had the Ruike 801 on sale during it's black friday sale for 21$ and I had a pair in my cart but got disgusted with Black friday after spending about an hour trying to buy about150$ worth of lights from Armytek who apparently doesn't ship to the United States . Shut my computer off and gave up on the idea of spending anything . totally forgot about the knives .
I got one of Terävä Skrama’s few weeks ago. Fell in love last year when a friend gave me one to try out… awesome tool, cuts like a scalpel and has great balance.
I also got this bad boy in the mail, Master Hunter 3V
Chinese D2 is definitely better than 8Cr13Mov but average edge retention doesn’t live up to the hype. Their Sandvik steels cut nicely, are easy to sharpen, and are more stainless. I’d love to see more 12C27 and 14C28N moving forward.
