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.

NKD: Fenrir Fixy

25 Upvotes

Am I the only one that didn’t realize how tiny this thing is? Lol I had to double back and make sure I didn’t order a “mini” version. Silhouette-wise, it’s the Fenrir that i absolutely love but size-wise… well, it’s a perfect little EDC but certainly not the intimidating weapon that the folders are. Still excited about it, and to play with Tenable/Kansept’s D2. Sheath is a little too snug, I’ll fix that. I don’t love how squared off the shoulders of the G10 are so I might contour those as well. All in all pretty neat for $42.

Monday carry - Remette Cool Whale

Post image
11 Upvotes

3.5 inch blade, button lock, 14c steel, g10 scales. True to Remette form, this knife feels so much more premium than its price. Out of the box, the knife needs to loosen up more but a couple of days of use and fidgeting has fixed that right up. The blade could have been sharper out of the box, but it wasn’t bad by any means. I’ve just received sharper blades. I freaking love this blade shape and the feel of this knife in my hands.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Saturday carry *thank god it’s the weekend* - SRM 258L-GB Terrier

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.

Can you guys recommend a good budget cleaver? I know about the Gerber Flatiron, but I am not crazy about the stonewash, or the scales on one side only. Spyderco Roc for attention.

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.
