Morakniv Garberg Carbon Steel Multi-Mount Sheath (M-13147)
I ordered the Mora Garberg in carbon and an Esee Izula II in desert tan; the knives shipped out quickly and arrived in the mail soon enough, both are great and are getting used. Would definitely order from HoK again, thanks for the quick and easy service.

Opinel No.8 Carbon Steel (113080)
I’ve been looking for an affordable performance knife for a while now and the Opinel is this to the letter. The blade is super sharp right out of the bag and the handle feels great in my hand.

Opinels really speak for themselves, as soon as you hold one it makes sense!

Kershaw Strata (2076)
Neutral feelings about the knife. This is my second Strata 2076 (first was a gift from a friend). In comparison the two knives feel completely different. The first knife (which was brand new at the time) had a gentle release and would flip open with the right amount of pressure. The travel was very smooth and had minimal blade play. The lock would fully engage and disengage after the first 20 ish open and close cycles. The blade came sharpened with a decent edge. The clip was very tight and often had trouble fitting it over the initial lip in jean pockets. I was very happy with the knife I ended up lending it to a family member for a camping trip where it was lost.
As for a The new knife I recently received: the blade was so tight I needed to free the blade from the handle first with my other hand then continue to use the flipper to open the blade. After the first 20 ish initial open and close cycles I found that the lock still would only slightly engage and the blade is still too tight to use with one hand. But I’m sure as I use the knife more it will become easier. In the lock there is a small ball that fits into a small divot on the blade to keep the knife closed when being shaken around. Since the blade isn’t spring assisted I found the knife difficult to close with one hand as the lock is very stiff and the ball on the lock will contact the tang of the blade and it will make it harder to close without keeping your finger on the lock to ensure it will clear the ball after the lock clears the initial torque point on the tang.
All things said I do still enjoy the knife, it’s very possible I received a one off knife. All of the issues will likely be remedied after months of use. Initial impressions are important however due to previous experience I have no long term concerns at this time. I have multiple Kershaw knives of many styles. I’ve never had any issues that questioned the quality of the brand or specific knife.
I will continue buying from Kershaw in the future

Kizer Swaggs Swayback Purple G10 (V3566N1)
Instant favorite of mine. Love the blade, the size is right, and its a been a pleasantly effective tool. Fits nicely in my palm and its easy to control through the long pulling cuts I need it for.
I'll likely track down another. It's been a great addition to my kit and I really enjoy using it.

Buck 110 Slim Select OD Green (0110ODS2-12695)
Very nice knife and a reasonable price. The handle is perfect, big enough for a firm grip and the finish provides a firm grip. Fits nicely in the pocket, stays there because of the proper clip placement and the clip is very secure … all in all a great knife. I prefer a partly serrated edge for cutting rope (would be a nice option) but all in all I really like this knife!

Buck is always reinventing their solid old school knives so a serrated one is always a possibility!
