Everyone's latest acquisitions!

It’s been a busy month for me! I like to carry horizontal at the belt buckle, so I usually like a fixed blade.
I ordered a Tkell 005 a few months back, and it just arrived!
I also got a HFB Featherlight from a popular member here, and to top it off… I finally pulled the trigger on a Winkler Belt knife I’ve been eying forever!

Very nice! What do you think of the 005?
Is that the 0.145 thickness or 0.12?

It’s the 0.145 I believe. I was told They had a batch come out thicker than then they usually work with, and gave me the option of taking this, or waiting for the standard 0.12… and I opted for this one.
I really like it. Ergonomics are perfect, and it’s scalpel sharp. I’m new to the TKell party, but I have to admit, the Agent line is the perfect knife for those looking to carry a fixed blade EDC.

Serge Panchenko Rooks up top....his new model "Guppy" at the bottom.

All are in house outside of SF CA and are pretty much sold only at shows or website drops periodically (1 to 2 times a year)

To add, the Rooks use the Gavin & Hawk "Hawk Lock" (same as Hawk talon) and the Guppy uses a modified version of it. You can swing the Guppy open by pulling the button and swinging it open. The Rook stay shut no matter how hard you swing. He did something, not sure what on the Guppy to make that possible. Gavin and Serge are good friends. Not sure if anyone else is licensed to use that lock.
 
Next one in a line of cheapies making their way to my mailbox - a Sencut ArcBlast. Very similar to the Civivi Faeger that just made its way in a few days ago, so I have no idea what possessed me this time, other than it’s pretty. And cheap. Button lock with flipper tab and thumb studs, just like the Faeger, but this one has aluminum handles, and 9Cr18Mov blade steel instead of 14C28N. I honestly don’t think I could tell the difference if I didn’t read it on the label. Action is pretty sweet opening and closing, locks up tight with no play in any direction, and another one with my favorite drop point shape that actually has a drop to the point. The satin finish on the hollow grind is also a nice touch. Feels like it’ll be a good slicer. Real nice budget grab for a lighter-duty EDC for all you other cheapskates out there.

Next one in from my latest binge off the exchange - Fox Radius. I’d been looking at these for awhile, but the first models were premium materials and priced well above my budget. Sometime since then they dropped a few more affordable variations, and when this one showed up in that place where you check self control at the door, I jumped. Very cool concept, well implemented. Nice size and weight, N690Co is more than adequate steel for my needs, and everything works tight and smooth. And it’s majorly fidgetable.
