I just bought one of thesefor IWB carry since Texas finally changed the knife laws. I’ve only had it a week but it’s very nice and the sheath is great just be sure to buy the Ulticlip 3.3 for it. UPDATE:
Now that I’ve carried it for a couple months the coating on this is just for show and sucks for corrosion. I’ve cleaned so much rust off I’ve taken to spraying it with krylon paint to keep the rust off. Stripping and having it hard chromed is my next idea. Here it is next to my edc of 12 years. No BS warranty my ass.

The kwaiken I have carries well, and is a scalpel.
I just use it as a small carry knife, I wouldn't mind having another scaled up in all dimensions. This is the one I have. AEB-L with richlite scales.

I guess that I would advise to look in your inbox.
If I know the maker, he has seen your post and has already reached out to you. He has his Woodsman, Saluda, and Kephart that may interest you, even his fighter bowie might be a consideration. He has a website that you can find under Flat Rock Forge. He is also eager to work with whatever you have in your mind as the perfect knife for you. Finnslayer and I both approached him with an idea, and now we have very sexy hard use knives that are exactly what we wanted. If you want recommendations I have two, just ordered two more, and have him working on an idea for a fifth one. And other ideas rattling around in my head. Plus one day I will have to get a couple that aren’t so pretty that I would feel bad using them. If that is even possible. |

Here, let me help you out OP:
   I fretted for some time on the steel choice, given it's almost $300 price, but in the end I took DPG's advice and got it in CPM-154. This thing is a BEAST! It's very very solid in my hand - almost as if it was made for it. Dunno how he did it, but he did. You won't regret it! |

my question is:
Why are you wringing your hands about it instead of placing an order? My next one will be like the one posted above, without the top blade guard. As is, this is the most beautiful knife I've ever seen, and couldn't think about anything else until I placed an order:

When I saw the Randall-inspired thread, I contacted Doubleplusgood and requested a longer blade. I posted a placeholder in that thread....it’s actually the next post after DPG replied to your question about the blade length ETA: Got my shipping and tracking info 4/18 and my new knife should be delivered 4/21

As I have predicted, you should soon be overwhelmed with new followers and believers. Besides the one that we have in the works, I am working on deciding what my next acquisition will be before the rush. |
