After 1 year of waiting and several tries I finally got my hands on one of the most elusive production knives, the protech malibu, thanks to the folks at REC.
It is every single bit as good as the reviews says and the knife is extremely crisp to handle and use. It makes a very satisfying sound when deploying, anodization is well done with the micro streak lines often found in ZL or SF HAIII lights and the pocket clip is one of the best I’ve seen.
However it came with some grittiness in the action, will have to disassemble and try to clean it out. The lock button also sticks a bit when closing but I think that’s due to the nature of the plunge lock, takes about 4lb of pressure to release. On the plus side it could serve as accidental closing protection.
At $209 it offers incredible value, if you’re on the fence just go get one since there’s restock is happening right now across several retailers.
Thanks. Looks like a very nice set. Lowest price so far has been $27 shipped (It’s $33 right now). I may have to pick one up!
ESEE Junglas 
Now that’s a knoife!
Mmmmmm, I love ESEE stuff.
I have an Izula, an 3 and I had a Junglas but changed it for Terava Skrama.
I got a vintage Boker 493 Barlow. 
Nice, i’m on the fence for the 4 
And for the Junglas, what didn’t you like? 
Nothing I didn’t like, it’s just that Skrama is a much better tool for my needs. It can easy be used as a knife (balance wise) and as a chopoer and it’s ground thin so it cuts like a scalpel. And Varusteleka has great warranty.
ESEE 4 and rest of the classic line are too thick for my taste, knife is a cutting tool and they suck at it. Newer models are interesting, AGK looks like a great hunting knife and few others look intwresting.
congrats, hope you enjoy it
iirc, two pin scales are synthetic… as in the middle: (left is bone, right is stag)
.
Thanks
I thought it was the sawcut delrin , its got the sawcut remnants of the bone in your pic.
I’ve just started picking up the barlow pattern . It’s been around since 1667 .
Man, what a let-down.
I was on the White Mountain Knives website, checking out their latest sale. I’d seen that in addition to the discounts previously made, on some knives you could get an additional 20% off with “SALE20.” So I’d added a knife into my cart, applied the coupon (which worked), kept browsing… changed my mind, removed the knife, added a different one… and then, the coupon failed to work. I’m like, OK—I went back to the previous knife. But the coupon was totally non-functional. Essentially it was revoked from the site while I was browsing. Disgusted, I closed my session and that’s that—not getting anything. Unreal. 
Well….that just sucks!!!
It sure does!
Maybe it was karma telling me “hey, you don’t need another knife.” And yeah, I really don’t. 
But I’ve been very good about not going nuts with knives. I’ve got about 10 altogether, with only 3 in the solid middle tier. There are so many decent ones in the sub $50 range you can get these days. So many interesting designs & variations. I’d had my heart set on a particular slip joint Civivi…
Anyway, prices are going up and there’s no telling when it’ll plateau. I thought it might be a good time to hit a sale now rather than later.
I don’t really need another either but … this is what came today . Except the Bear and Son on the bottom . I bought it at Tractor Supply . 
Nice haul!
Well, in my disgust with White Mountain Knives, I decided to cruise Blade Forums just to see what’s brewing. Actually found something I liked, for a very good price. The TwoSun TS123. A little more than half off the AliExpress price, very gently used. Earlier release with groove in the blade for easy grip. It’s a slip joint with copper inlay. M390 steel blade. A real beauty.
I slightly modded my TS123:
The TS123 is a nice looking knife.
ummm… you guys are costing me money: (thanks… lol)
Benchmade mini Bugout:
.
Nicely done! Looks good this way too, although part of what drew me to it was the swept up tip… somewhat reminiscent of the far more expensive Spyderco Hundred Pacer
