Mid-Year Update

No complaints. Core Edge and Rangermade are USA bargains for what they deliver. China pumping out plenty of quality and interesting designs, especially considering the prices you can get.

Socom Delta Ram-Lok

I always forget how much better the titanium makes these knives feel compared to the aluminum. I went with the flamed backspacer, because why not? I'm not usually much of a fan of the shiny finish compared to the apocalyptic, but I think it works on this version of the scales. Blade bevels and flats are quite even which is nice

Purple

My collection is pretty monotone overall so I've been adding some color here and there. I'm not a big purple fan but sometimes it looks great when done right.

NKD - CJRB Doubletap

Pretty fun big design, they did a nice job with the crystallized titanium and I like the color scheme. The fin on the bar lock makes it more fidgety. Packaging left a bit to be desired, just a bag tossed in the box so very little protection and there are a few places light gets through between the scales and liners. Compared to a Miguron Arma XL and an Artisan Proponent

Bestech Ika

This thing is pretty sweet. Fully symmetrical, mirror polish blade, integral with an inset liner

Not really practical, but the design is beautiful and Bestech did a great job. The inserts match the profile of the blade, including fullers, which carry to the pocket clip. Mirror polish blade in a chunky inset liner integral. What's not to like? My only complaints are branding on the blade and it would be nice if it was sharpened on both sides
