buy the $11 fgx version instead which is what i should have done, the blade is made pretty much for piercing only and the gfx version will do thatI'm trying so hard NOT to buy one of those things, lol.
GTC Reduced Stampede SLTWoah! what is this little beast named?
that is one amazingly ground blade!
The first three knives for 2021 for me will be:
Spyderco Native 5 in SPY 27 blade steel.
( I wanted the Manix 2 SPY 27, but none of my favorite dealers had them.)
Steel Will Sedge in gray G10 handle scales and black-coated 4-inch D2 blade steel.
Steel Will Barghest in black G10 handle scales and satin 4-inch D2 blade steel.
I have extra of that stuff-cane, reach extender, walker, rollator, wheelchair. I've finally Heald enough that I don't need any of it.First, and quite possibly last, knife purchase of 2021 was ordered today, January 02,2021.
A new BTI Old Timer 7OT. (with tan/brown vertical leather sheath.)
Why? I like the 7OT, and the Saw Cut Delrin covers will match my BTI Old Timer 858OT and 858OTB, unlike my vintage made in ASA Old Timer 7OT'S. There is a difference in colors, and the number, and size of grooves per inch. The vintage ones have a reddish hue, and are finer, with more per inch.
It should arrive by mid-month, with a bunch of archery, and "old man"/"old thing" things, like a cane, and reach extender.
(it's disgusting that they've moved the floor and ground so far away these last few years ...)
Lol just snagged a grand off the exchange this morning hahaha. Should have waited on the RSK...o-well...guess the grand could be the first knife now depending on which shows up first.Well It was gona be the giant mouse grand but apparently I got the itch and couldn't wait for them to be in stock and just ordered the Hogue Ritter RSK to hold me over...I wish they had that purple handle on the full size one btw.
Honestly I’m trying to not buy any knives in 2021. If anything I’ll order a custom Griptilian with cf scales and a satin sheep’s foot blade from Benchmade or maybe the Protech Malibu reverse tanto with the stonewash blade.
