My problem child... Cheap ebay knife that I wanted to love. I forgot about it for a while and came back to a rusty mess. Cleaned it up some but still havea bit of work to do on it. It is now sporting a fresh razor sharp edge.

Did well. That's a pretty fair price.

How do you like that Kizer? Was eyeballing one on Blade HQ the other day while looking at other things. Looks pretty nice for the money.

Carbon on knives is pretty cool.

[Last Edit: Rdot] [#14]
Aside from opening a few pieces of mail, I haven't used it for much at this point in time. I do like it, especially for the price. My only gripes so far are the complete lack of jimping and the coating on the blade makes it stiff out of the box. I spent a few hours flicking it open to break it in which has it is pretty smoothed now. Blade came decently sharp but has a little room for improvement. I'd likely buy one again if I ever lost the one I have. I like having cheaper blades to thrash on.

ETA: It leans on the larger side of folders and has a healthy weight to it which is something I actually like about it. It feels very solid in hand and has good real estate for those with larger hands. Also the thumb studs have sharp edges (not cut you sharp) and will chew up your thumb nails a little if you use them to flick it open.

If you look at the tip of the blade you can see near the edge how the blade should look. It still needs cleaned up a bit.

Awesome. Thanks for the review. I like the color combo of the blade and G10. I'm really leaning towards the Mikkel Willumsen Barbosa since I'm a huge fan of Wharncliffe style blades (even though it's not 100% Wharn). And it's super cheap too.

Just email the customer service email saying you'd like a deep carry clip and they get it out pretty quickly. I converted all but one of my Benchmades to it.

Somehow I unsubscribed from my own thread.


I didn't know fat was reactive enough for a patina.


How is it as a processing g knife?

Its just fat that I couldn’t get off with the freezing creek water. I haven’t had any luck getting INFI to patina with anything. Which is cool in its own way. 

The active duty is a pretty sweet knife for breaking down deer. I prefer it to my game warden at this stage. I use my knife tip for splitting the pelvis and the AD is more suited for that. I suppose the AD would be a technically inferior skinner because it doesn’t have much belly, but it’s got enough to get it done. My only gripe is the choil can hang up on skin at times, but it only happened once last night and isn’t a big deal.

Handle length about 4 1/2?, convex ground with a 4 3/8? cutting edge. Overall about 9?. Handcrafted, antiqued leather belt sheath. Will fit a belt up to 2 1/4?. Sheath is signed and dated on backside. Unique tooled scroll and vine work on face of sheath.

Man I love it, but haven't even tested it out yet.  So light in the hand, perfect blade size and shape for an all-arounder.  Wood feels great, and is surprisingly light in the handle.  I have wanted a knife from Matt for years, but never put in the effort and wait for a custom order.  Saw this one come up for sale and it was a good all around design, and bought it so damn quick...  Now I'm eyeing an Nessmuk...

My Nessmuk was done last week.  Not here yet cause I asked him to wait to ship it till I got moved.  Dying to get it in my hand.

Finally found a benchmade I've been looking for, a 615 mini rukus.  It's a nicely made knife, a little awkward to open.
