the recent release of the Mr. Mr. ISO had me curious, after looking at his previous models I knew I needed the Mr. Mr. Phantom (QSP oem). It is becoming one of my most preferred blades in very short order. the action is absolutely phenom and I love the blackwash+gold hardware.
It is probably one of my coolest wharncliffes and a shining star of a hollow grind. Also one of the sharpest factory edges. I don't know how to determine if it has a good sharpening choil so am happy it came super sharp
Kizer Little Ringbo is fun, the action on top liner locks is addicting. Being paired with a thumbhole gives it a similar feel to my Vosteed Porcupine. deployment is so satisfying. Something about this knife really spoke to me louder than my fascination with wharncliffes/sheepsfoot blade shapes. always makes me happy to find things that I can appreciate that goes against my personal preferences. Solid profile, feels good in the hand and disappears in the pocket.
Added the Benchmade Mini Griptilian sheepsfoot onto my order so I could take advantage of BladeHQs expedited shipping. Can certainly understand a lot of the reviews that make sure to reiterate its small size, it is tiny! The blade length is totally fine for me but the scales definitely qualify as mini, somehow they end up making the knife feel a lot smaller than it is. I still really dig it but am absolutely gonna get some AWT scales to beef it up with. Pretty sharp from factory, great action and perfectly centered, also it weighs almost nothing!
Civivi Scintilla was a free promo from BladeHQ, I know I probably could have requested they avoid the Dessert Warrior colorway but I was willing to roll the dice. Would have definitely preferred ANYTHING ELSE but I'm not upset about it, it is a fun combo. Certainly makes it the more obvious option if I ever wanna gift out one of my knives lol. Action is great, it snaps out almost like it's assisted. Size and feel is actually really nice, while being a couple cm shorter than the mini-griptillian, the addition of the nice choil on the blade result in a less cramped grip.
is it wrong of me that I already know what knives I will purchase next? is that so wrong??
