Everyone's latest acquisitions!

View attachment 2898326Just picked up the 4 custom Folts Minimalists on the left at BladeShow this last weekend. I just need 2 more and then I will have customs of each blade shape.

Fun fact. The I own the very first Nessmuk ever made (the one more in the middle), and I own the very last keraminimalist that Alan ever plans on making.

GREAT collection!

How you liking that bottom one???

Honestly, I love it. There are plenty of knives in this sort of size/use-case and so on (I own a few of 'em!), but they tend to be made by one of the Chinese manufacturers. A light, thin, aluminum scaled, cross-bar lock, EDC sized knife with a very thin Magnacut blade....and made here??? Chef's kiss, really. This honestly seems like a direct competitor for the Kershaw Bel-Air, though this particular one was more expensive because it's a special edition they did for the show. In fact, the regular Range Elites will be cheaper, and folks who like the Bel Air will have to give this one a look and nearly the same price.

Blue Super . . . Not the best steel

Oh I beg to differ . . .
I like the Blue Super . I have a $500 hand made "temple builder's" paring chisel in that ; one of my prize possessions ! Ebony handle w / Ink Pattern blade cladding .
Not a safe queen I've used it hard . It has pared large joints to fit in the most cantankerous hard woods I have ever encountered ; Bubinga and Purple heart .
PS : I used to try to get the people in the furniture making forums excited about blade alloys .

long story short . . . that's when I made my move to BladeForums

Sage 6 in s90v - first new age Spyderco knife, it feels great, solid lock up, great profile, light enough for even athletic shorts (slightly lighter than what its advertised as) - not sure I love the wire clip, will be getting a Lynch replacement:

It was "expensive" but not overly so, so I feel like this will become a staple in the pocket and won't think twice about using it.

 

[bucsfan69]

Utility knife came in. Just incredible.

 

[GreX]

A couple little fixies:

The magnetic pocket clip/sheath combo thing is pretty slick.

 

[Terry M.]

Just in. Had to try it out for the price.
