Anyone have any experience with the Todd Begg Kwaiken Steelcraft series (Reate)?

Todd Begg's designs are pretty cool looking. Reate has been turning heads with their quality offerings could be a good combo |

I'm not crazy about the blue on the new grips, but I wanted a nice blade to put in my DOAT scales when they get here. I'm sure I can sell the G10 for a few bucks if I decide not to keep them. I don't have any experience with any of the "super steels" other than INFI. I've played with S30V a couple times, but I don't prefer it over 154CM. I'm stoked to try the 20CV. |

I have an Avo and its a nice nice, though on the smaller side. The Tolk looks like it would be a nice mid-range sized blade. Love it. Silky-smooth opening and solid lock up. It's a lot of knife for the package and very light. I tend towards smaller knives but this one doesn't feel like an overly large knife |

I got some pictures of my DOAT scales from the maker and they're on their way back to me. They're a little fuzzy, but its not uncommon with the homemade stuff, so I am hoping to wet sand them up to 400 or 600 and get rid of the fuzz. I was going to wait to finish them before posting, but I thought you guys might wanna see.  " /> |

Nothing fancy, but my S&W branded folder has been in my pocket for the last 16 years and used for all sorts of stuff. I need to clean up the blade at the moment.
