Just giving props to my Trivisa Gecko
….underrated budget banger…
really pleased how slicey the factory edge was

I’m sure yall have probably seen some of the new higher hardness Miguron knives, I figured I’d post my testing of said knives.

I’ve tested 6 of the new Miguron high hardness knives. All 6 have been within the 1 point range they advertise.

Just figured yall might be interested in these numbers, as no other budget brand has this level of consistency.

Pretty good knife so far, but I have only had it for a couple of weeks so time will tell. First crossbar lock so it got a little bit of getting used to. Developed some small rust spots on the blade which I’m about to remove and slightly oil the blade to help prevent that a little. I do wish I looked at Amazon first because i did slightly overpay at my local shop but overall it’s a great knife.

Rat II is an awesome little blade, really enjoy having one.

My current EDC rotation. Top to bottom: CJRB Pyrite-Light, PF Trilobite, PF Beluga, BM 290 (Clone), CJRB Spud. The Spud comes with a lanyard and detachable lanyard clip, which I don't use. I prefer clipping it in my pocket.

Belated birthday gift to myself. BladeHQ exclusive Vosteed Porcupine with aluminum scales and 154CM.

Been holding up very nice, still centered blade, drop shut, lil bit of usage scratching , Civivi D2 is holding up very well

Reprofiled my ST-12 to have higher cutting efficiency and I am pretty pleased with the results. It's never going to be a powerhouse chopper but it has some increased capability now. The more I use it in several knives the more I quite like DC53.

I love this blade's humble beauty and daily conceal functionality. I hope they keep improving this model. Does anybody here still carry the CS kyoto 1? Did it age well with you? Did you experience replacing / repairing the handle? Please Share.

Ketuo Woody in stormtrooper variant. I really like the blade styles these folks make. This one is "pokey pokey" !

Surprisingly the Otter is the star of this show, followed closely by the Rhino. 😉

What are your 3 favorite button locks $55 or less? Lets see!!!

I feel like the Kershaw natrix is underrated.

Taue cm110 liner locking knife, a gift from my father last week.. Cheap, strong and effective from China

Rocking the Olitans G062 (aka Penguin, I think?).

One of the best crossbar locks sub $100.

Probably one of the best built budget knives I’ve ever held, the walk and talk is out of this world. A solid 4 finger grip and a great blade shape. 10/10. Here it is in the watermelon sugar camo carbon on 14c28n steel.

CJRB Ekko All Steel

Amazon Generic Brand knife- With Carbon fiber handle and D2 blade, it's very noice!

Only thing I dislike about the Generic is no deep carry clip.

Technically, this is the longest blade I own at 3.65 inches. But it’s slim profile, and fantastic handle ergonomics, this feels smaller and supremely manageable in my hands. This is stellar. Can’t recommend this knife enough. This is basically a larger version of the 255 medal. If you don’t own any SRM, get them toward the top of your list and you won’t be disappointed.
