BEST - In part of the trade for the L-19 I ended up with a Chris Quayism Kwaiken -
View attachment 680360
This knife needs some workas it came pretty crude. Maybe one of his firsts customs - BUT - I can send it in for a spa treatment and in the meantime I have carried it every day as my EDC. Rugged work knife, OK flipper, easy in the hand, and I don't hesitate to use it for nearly any task. Never felt more confident with any EDC I have carried. 4" blade which makes this bigger than I prefer but surprisingly this one carries well. Far cry from a Thorburn but it is a knife worthy of note nonetheless :thumbup:
Thanks for asking

I was the first owner of that Kwaik. Loved it. Glad to see it making the rounds and getting Chris's name out there. That's why I let it go once I got on his books haha. Not to mention his HT on 52100 is fantastic.
As for my best and worst of last year, I'd say my best(s) were the few FFKWs I picked up last year. There's just something about their knives I've fallen in love with. Worst would be the few times I ventured back into some budget knives. There were a handful of unmemorable ones that made me realize I'm done with that market section.
