      Looks nice and super functional. If you like this style and you ever want to upgrade, look at Hiroaki Ohta’s customs. They arent terribly expensive and are quite beautiful.

      Good call. Those look like a great stocking stuffer/xmas gift

        These just arrived in this stunning honey brown leather. Fits nicely in the left pocket of my 666 XHS.

          Last Strider I picked up was roughly 12 years ago. Saw these pop up on Instagram and figured I better give it a go.

          I’ve had many SMF’s this is the first SnG. I will say fit and finish has definitely improved from the last one I had, I really like it

            ^ beautiful lines on that. How’s the textured handle?

            Picked up a couple of EDC knives by MKM (it seems I’m drawn to Italian knife brands for some reason). Both designed by Jesper Voxnæs.

            They are small, tidy and very stable. The cleaver is especially well designed, with the thumb choil letting you choke up a long way for power and blade control. They are both emminently flickable too.

              @neph93 I really like the looks of those Reuben. Are the blades around 2” long?  Seem like they would be ideal for daily carry. Thanks for introducing me to another new maker.

                They are indeed sir. 4.9cm in fact. Total length of 14.5cm. The drop point version is super versatile. Robust and stable but pointy and cutty at the same time (excuse my English language fuckery, but you get my meaning).

                The only downside is that the beautifully drawn belly means there is very little space for a thumbchoil, meaning the knife always sits high in the hand. The cleaver lacks the long curved belly, but you get a much filler grip. Design compromises when you’re working on small surfaces I guess.

                I’m very pleased with both and already see different edc applications for each of them. They also do a hawkbill variant. While it is very pretty, I’m not sure I’d know what to do with it.

                Some illustration for you:

                  Thanks for the description and the pics really help with relative size.  Great looking knives…afraid now I’ll have to pick one up [emoji2359]. Cleaver for me I think

                    The G10 Gunner grip is really nice. I’ve had the Sanded down ones, blocky ones but I prefer the gunner grip. It’s rough but grippy, easy to grab with or without gloves.

                    Biggest downside is they eat the shit outta pockets[emoji38]

                                            Anyone got any experience with a Para 3. Just ordered one with a solid discount on it, never had a knife from Spyderco before 🙂
