Saw someone post the Elementum a year or more ago on here and instantly thought it was the perfect knife for me. Finally went to buy myself one and had to get the Wharncliffe blade as well. My two most used blade types. Perfect size and smooth feel. My grail folders (for now). Can’t wait to put these to use at work.

In my collection these are probably the two most “premium” knifes. Wasn’t expecting how smooth the one had opening would be and I’m super psyched on the frosted look on the g10 handle.

A little hard to get a pic of but the heel on both pairs is concave like a bowl on the outer edge. It’s noticeable when standing because the outer edge of that rubber is on the ground but my heel is lifted slightly.

Is this something that will sort it self out as I break-in the boot? Or will it just get worn down faster as that thin lip hits the ground before the rest? Any other barefoot ranger show up like this?

First pic—barefoot ARs 9.5
Not a ton of space in front of my foot and no room to toe splay. Do these relax in the width at all? Should I size up to a 10? If I did I think I would definitely need an insole and kilties to help with the volume around my heel/ankle.

Second—width on Meanders 10. There’s some excess width around the midfoot and top of my foot. Not sure if that will be an issue as the leather relaxes over time?

Third and fourth—barefoot meanders 10. Same deal as the standard meanders. Kind of wide around the midfoot and top of foot.
