SOTC + What's next?

SOTC + What's next?

Collection at the moment, it's small but based on the pens I like! The Magnus Clickshift is a recent acquisition!
Now I'm thinking about what's next, I'd like a Autmog eventually but they always seem so hard to snag, but I haven't really tried. Autmog is about 4 hours from me too so I'd consider it local.
Right now, I'm considering aiming for an Autmog, or checking out a Fellhoelter TiBolt (NT was nice but the SL mechanism wasn't for me.) The Billetspin Cam Pen looks interesting too but it doesn't speak to me as much. If there's other cool options, let me know!

Top to bottom -
Spoke Roady
Grimsmo Saga - Distressed Purple (I've kinda given up on the ano.)
TRSPC Titanium Bolt
Magnus Clickshift v4 "Viking"

[WTS] - NMB Chop Crossbar + Beard&Owl Slips

New Timestamp + Slips
NMB Chop Images

North Mountain Blades - Chop Crossbar Lock - Jade G10 - SLD Magic65$

LNIB! Got this a bit ago but haven't carried it, crossbar locks just aren't my style most of the time. Centering is perfect and action is good, no blade play of any sort. Comes with Box and all the goodies it originally came with.

Beard&Owl Slips - XL Blue, Medium Purple, Small Green - 20$ Each or 50$ for all

All Flannel Plaid

A few extra slips that I got but didn't quite match sizes for knives I had. Was saving them for more slipjoints but I'm starting to back away from collecting those, so releasing them to the Knifeswap market.

Feel free to reach out with any questions, no trades at this time. Cheers!

Matriach 2 Mods?

I recently was lucky enough to snag this Matriach 2 for a steal. And despite not being the Emerson variant, I was hoping to see if there was a wave mod option similar to SnaggleTooth waves for Cold Steel. I wouldn't mind looking at some scales options, and maybe a ring pull (though I don't really need it unless it really adds something I'm not considering.

Does anybody have suggestions? The zip tie mod just isn't engaging how I'd like it too.

NKD! - Tanto PM2 + Cerberus Aurelius

Got these two fellas on the same day, honestly a little surprised I was able to snatch them both!

The PM2 has a great action and zero blade play. But the grind has some flaws, though it's edge is good. I'll live with the imperfections. Centering needed a fix but getting some RGT scales for it, I think the stock G10 is a little warped.

The Cerberus Aurelius is, well, fantastic. No blade play, perfect centering, fantastic feel and fit and finish. The action is similar to the Overland Folder by Millet without the gritty detent. I want a Cerberus Riott/Fixed Blade, but I can wait a year or two if it means more of these folders can get into people's hands.

[WTS] Mechforce/John Barker Hokkaido and "Frankenstein" Yojimbo 2

Pictures and Timestamp

Mechforce/John Barker Hokkaido w/ Tree Bark Titanium scales and a Magnacut blade - 290$

Carried once at an event, used for a few light cutting tasks. Edge is still factory. Only wear on the knife is some very subtle and small scratches on the pivot collar. Good centering, no box/container.

Yojimbo 2 - SPY27 Blade - Post-Mod Frankenstein - 90$

This Yojimbo 2, while not a big user, has been modified. Originally the blade was used for a custom knife build I was doing, but the blade wasn't working with the scales and leading to some issues with lock engagement. I was able to use another variant of the Yojimbo 2 that's working better with the scales, so I reassembled this one.
The blade does work great with the standard Spyderco scales, so this frankenstein should be a great user. No bladeplay any which way, no lockstick, and centering is spot on.
Has some slight detent lash.
Blade has been acidwashed/working finished and then resharpened. It has a laser engraving of a star with a face, a reference to a VA for media centered around NicoNico culture.
This knife has been reassemble, it was assembled with the standard Spyderco hardware - the only exception might be the pocket clip screws. They're T8 and could be LynchNW screws.

With all that, 90$ Yojimbo 2

Feel free to DM with any questions - no trades at this time. Cheers!

Is this gap normal on the Socom Elite?

Decided to get my second Socom Elite last week and want to get it broken in, but this gap towards the glass breaker has me worried if there's a serious manufactuing defect. My first manual Socom from 2023 didn't have anything like this, but it did have a glass breaker that wobbled. This one is dated for 12/2025 and the dealer I got it from said they've been coming to them like this for a while. Can anybody who's gotten a Socom recently confirm if this is just a new quirk for the model?

[WTS] The "All-In On Skull Motifs" Engraved Chaves BL Redencion 229

Pictures and Timestamp (Warning!! Lots of Skulls)

Chaves 229 Redencion Blue Label w/ Satin Elmax and DNALasering Engraved Micarta Scales - 125$

Hey everyone. I have a out of season themed Redencion I'm letting go with a collection downsizing. Mostly because A) Not a Double Clutch guy - B) I have another knife with more skulls on it

Jokes aside, this knife has seen a day or two of carry and a package or two of opening. Edge is still factory and nice and sharp. This knife comes with it's box and it's more "subtle" clip if you wanna add one less skull to the pile.

This knife has been disassembly once to add thick Skiff washers that really work well on it. They're running with OCD4EDC Slick'Em lube to give them a glassy feel. But the OG bearings are included in case you'd like to swap them out.

Centering is just about perfect.

This knife has between 24-36 skulls on it depending on how you include skulls that are cut off, so if you're superstitious I recommend getting yourself another Spyderco instead!

If you have any questions feel free to ask! No trades for now.
(Questions regarding possible curses or necromantic charm will be answered with "it has a double clutch, every manual Chaves knife is cursed" -)

Cheers! And have an early happy 4th!

Kershaw Launch 21 Raw - M4 Steel - 115$

Brand new in box, has been opened a few times. Haven't cut with or carried. Great centering. Good snappy action.

This particular knife got stuck in a shipping limbo and I was worried it got confiscated, turns out it just got stuck in a shipping loop since late April. Since then, I've lost interest and aren't able to return it.

Knife doesn't have any bladeplay in any direction. Comes with box and all everything in it.

Seller note - I'll be working away from home until the 22nd. With the earliest shipping likely being the 23rd

If you have any questions, let me know. No trades at this time. Cheers!
