Anyone else here carry a flipper and a fixie too? Or am I just extra nutty? 🤔 I carry two flashlights also. Love the Recon 1 🫶

Recon 1 Fat Carbon & Schwarz Overland X 🥰

China knife. Blade: 8.2” long; .25” thick (6.3 mm); 1.63” wide; Sleipner steel (allegedly). Overall length is 13.3”. Has a nice looking black stonewashed finish to it. Weight is 18.6 oz w/o the sheath, and 23.6 oz with it. Haven't used it yet. $72 on Amazon. I put an RKCustomKydex belt loop on it. Comes with a Chinese Tek Lok.

Any of you have this? And what do you think of it?

Spear Point Fat Carbon #264 (out of 600). Really like this one so far. My third Recon 1; I have all three blade shapes now.

S35VN steel & tanto blade. $67.48 on Amazon right now. It's almost like the Recon 1 and the Air Lite had a baby. It's as thin as the Air Lite is. Really liking it so far. It came with perfect fit and finish, as well as perfectly smooth action right out of the box. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Nice Blade 💯 but had some issues with the sheath; and so, I did some mods. (1) It was too tight against the spine, and so scratching the blade. Really White River? 🤦 Had to use a heat gun to loosen it up. (2) The spot designed to push your thumb on when deploying it wasn't angled well (unlike the sheath on the Ursus Cub). It basically came straight out; and you're digging your thumb into a corner to pull the knife out. Fail. . . So, I ground that down to produce a more appropriate slope to match the angle of my thumb. (3) The danger loop was attached to the sheath via a kydex "backer" that is stupid thin and flimsy as hell. The least they could have done is to use thicker kydex in this spot. Removed it and installed a loop from RKCUSTOMKYDEX. It is much more stout. (4) The ferro rod holder as installed holds the ferro rod in an inverted position. This thing is not going to stay in there as soon as you remove any amount of diameter from the rod, through use. Conclusion: nice blade but very disappointing sheath execution.

Your knife, I mean 🔪👈
