Took ten days for USPS to move it about 75 miles. I love it so much, I already ordered a titanium one.

Turns out it was a lemon that i got the first time. Mannnn this thing is SWEET. No issues at all. At least for me. This knife is amazing for the price.

Eafengrow - EF977 (14C28N)

Full disclosure I’m not even sure what exactly this was (probably something cheap from China) but I bought it at Boy Scout Camp, and it has lasted me since my last year of middle school lol. Just took her apart to clean yesterday and had zero rust, it used to be all camo but that has chipped off over time and is still sharp! (Sharpening happens about once a month) it was 19-20 bucks and has been used as a pry tool, hammer, knife, screwdriver, wire bender, throwing knife, etc.

The Kizer Drop Bear 2 (Sheepfoot) 🐑

I bought this off Amazon.ca for $44 CAD.

It is advertised as a D2 blade with G10 scales.

It is a stout solid little tank with some heft.

The blade appears centred. Blade deployment is fairly stiff. Decent jumping for both thumb and index fingers.

Clip is not deep carry.

The scales have a carbon fiber look and the surface is polished smooth. This is my main complaint, I’m going to rough up the surface with 120 g sand paper.

For $44 CAD I think this is a pretty good buy for what you get. Mine came sharp enough to slice paper, not shaving sharp. The edge is even throughout.

Advertised as having an Axis lock which it does not. It has a liner lock with quite a bit of tension.

It glows a lot more than I expected.
