Cold Steel Crawford Model 1 (CS-20MWC)
This knife is very comfortable in the hand. The pronounced finger guard and thumb ramp make your grip feel very secure. The liner lock feels so solid that the secondary locking switch is almost redundant, but it's a nice touch. My only real criticism is with the rubberized inserts on the handles. While they do make the handle grippier in wet situations, they wear quickly. The area under the pocket clip was showing distress after only 8 or 10 trips in and out of my jeans pocket. Overall, this is very good budget option for a tactical-looking knife. Not perfect, but great value.

CRKT Pilar Large (5315)
I ended up liking this knife a bit more than I thought I would. For a small knife, it has surprisingly nice heft with that stainless steel handle. With the decent sized finger choil I can wrap hand comfortably around the handle and excercise very precise control of the blade. The flipper action is smooth and crisp. The frame lock feels very solid when the blade is deployed, but closes without too much effort. Best of all, it disappears into my pocket very discretely.

Kershaw E-Train (6034TRAINER)
Really happy. Proper size for training, same quality and use-ability I’d expect from a sharpened Kershaw. Good price and quick shipping. It will be a useful training knife for years.
Thanks

Benchmade Bugout M390 Grey and Black (535BK-4)
Sharp as in both looks and function. Distinctive presentation especially with red accents and attractive smoky gray aluminum handle in contrast to the black coated M390 blade. New favourite as a stealthy, gentleman’s EDC. Nice form factor without pocket bulge. Only proviso is stiffness for a one handed opening. Perhaps will loosen up with use.

Shun Kanso 7" Santoku Knife Hollow Ground (SWT0718)
Awesome knife and saya. The knife is razor sharp as seems to always be the case with the Shun knives I’ve ordered so far. Great service from house of knives and I’ve already ordered the Shun Kanso Cleaver. I’m sure I will be placing more orders in the near future. Lol I’m a knife addict it seems. Lol

CIVIVI Cetos Black Micarta (C21025B-2)
Nice knife, great action. Only thing is the scaleless back side can make for difficult opening of left handed because your thumb is pressing on the blade lock spring

CIVIVI Dogma Black Polished Copper (C2005F)
I bought this knife in store amazing employee btw J.Surch he helped me so much helping me find what I wanted he gave me pointers on how to fix a rusted knife of mine. This knife came razor sharp out of the box it can cut my hair with ease. It it very smooth when opening and very easy to open. And in store I received a free coupon to sharpen any of my knives which is very nice because I don't own an amazing sharpener

Morakniv Companion Knife Stainless Military Green (M-11827)
It is a serviceable knife. It needs a 90° spine on the back of the blade to use on a Ferrocerium rod or to scrape fat wood. Other then that all good. I filed a 90° spine on the back. All good now **** stars

CIVIVI Button Lock Elementum Dark Green Micarta (C2103C)
It's an okay knife, it's consistent with other civivi products. The lack of opening options (thumb stud/flipper tab) makes it a bit awkward.
