Great mid-sized system!
Verified Buyer
Work Sharp Guided Sharpening System (WSGSS-C)
I purchased the add-on set which gives you an extra coarse and extra fine diamond plate and a leather strop. IMO, the add-on completes the sharpening system by giving you a more complete progression of grits. The diamond plates are of excellent quality: no raised spots or burrs on the edges. Always use a very light touch with diamond plates. The plates will handle basic softer steels (like found on CaseXX) and high hardness super steels like M4, CruWear, CPM20CV/M390 etc. The strop is a good idea for finishing or touching up an apex. It came with green compound but I chose to load mine up with 4 micron Stroppy Stuff emulsion. The strop material is rather porous so expect to use a lot to load it up. The ceramic rod is a bit on the small size but also a nice part of the grit progression. (Probably around 1,000). The guide comes with 20 and 17.5 angles which are completely removable if you want to free-hand or use the full length of the plates.
I use this system on smaller knives and when I don’t want the fuss and mess of taking out and setting up my Chosera whetstones. (Note: there is very little feedback on the diamond plates compared to Japanese whetstones.)
Overall the quality and design is excellent and this makes a nice mid-sized sharpening system that can handle any kind of steel you want to sharpen. Always remember to use very light pressure on diamond plates-let the diamonds do the steel removal. Your plates will last a lot longer and yield better scratch patterns/results.

CIVIVI Propugnator Micarta Green (C23002-2)
One of my best motivational reviews....
A heavy duty working every day carry utility blade.
Probably a little bit thick for food preparation but still acceptable.
It is ready to perform severe tactical requests with the ability to underline the toughness and rigidity of the blade material structure and shape.
Blades like this one show up on the market once in a few years and knife professionals need just seconds to realize that fact after the first contract with the cutter...
Civivi's engineering team could redesign and manufacture an improved tanto version with serrations, glass persuator at the end of the handle including hexagonal opening for quarter inch drive bits, adding multitool features...
That would be the exact personal protector and survival expert.
Strongly recommend !!!

Kizer Original XL Titanium (Ki4605A1)
Kizer is well known for quality in their fit and finish. This is Ti XL is a perfect example.
The action is super smooth, crisp and solid. The ti scales are nice and chamferred there's nothing sharp about it and the ti clip is very springy.
Blade steel is fantastic and is perfectly ground.
As a whole I always include price, this would have been five stars if it was cheaper.

Well this is my go to tool kit when I’m outside and not in my shop. Just a really good all around number of tools to cover most minor repairs. It’s solid, maybe a little heavy, but u get lots of leverage for the small tough jobs.

I love my pyrite there is nothing negative to say about this knife. CJRB got me interested now. I had a lago and really liked it but it might get taken out of rotation now I think it’s gonna bring an Ekko into my collection I’m totally loving these CJRB button locks and the quality of there knives for the price has me disappointed by other brands that I have several models of in my collection.
