Wanted a Shaman for a while but I’m always too slow on the sprint runs. The Blade HQ M4 version some how found its way to my doorstep. Really like to micarta scales on it.

Why not just buy it direct?

Why not just buy it direct?

I’ve bought from northwest before, they seem solid plus their price was better than most. No shipping or tax.

Very cool blade… an icon!

I read an article a while back about how Becker got the Kephart blade. Give me a few and I’ll find it. Pretty interesting.

Another cheap knife for sticking in cars, go bags or other places you'd like to have one and forget it's there. I wanted a knife to keep in my work trailer. This thing is a stout folder. We'll see how it holds an edge on the jobsite.

Just picked up this Kershaw Deschutes Caper (1882). I wanted a small fixed blade for cleaning brook trout when camping. The feel is rock solid, and there’s zero play in the sheath. I wish the blade was .5” longer, but the shape and the jimping are perfect. We’ll see if it’s an issue or not, but a fused handle, like on a victorinox kitchen knife, would help keep scales/oil/guts out. Overall it’s an awesome knife, especially for $30.

Maybe heat the handle and reform it..

I picked up another old Kabar the other day at a Re-Store Habitat for Humanity. Whoever owned it loved it. They even turned a finish on it. It was a part of him for sure. Tang stamp dates it from 1927-1945.

Yep. Very Trans-Am...

Last weekend was my oldest’s 10th birthday. He got his first pocket knife. Can’t remember the model, but it’s one of the lock blade Swiss Army knives. He loves it of course. His mom wasn’t happy even after he promised not to kill his brother with it.

That one popped up in my email and I immediately thought the same thing! I’d be all over this if I didn’t already have a full size bug out in bright blue. Although they say you can never have too many knives…..

Different shape and slightly bigger blade and no thumb stud. Plenty of difference!

I did notice the differences and the similarities! It's just kind of hard to justify spending ~$170.00 on a pocket knife that's very close to what I already EDC. This is especially cogent after I just dropped close to $800.00 for 193 gallons of heating oil. Benchmade has great products but I really wish they'd drop their prices a bit to be a little more affordable - JMO.

I won't be spending $170 on it. I'll wait for a deal.

The real question should be.. can you afford to carry around an extra 0.32 oz for G10, while hiding your second bugout from your wife.
