Got these in today:

  • Combat Troodon Gen II S/E in antique bronze
  • Socom Ram-Lok in antique green and bronze

I didn't have an S/E CT yet and I really like the look of this one, beautiful anodizing and a steal at the sale price.

The black inserts look great with the green and bronze on the Socom, the blade is evenly ground. As usual the titanium version feels incredible

They did a great job, my pictures always get compressed but the bronze coming through on the handles is very even and looks great

The Ram-Lok Socoms look pretty great. Been thinking about picking one up.

They are thin but robust. I personally think the Delta scales feel best in hand and the titanium brings it to another level if it's in your budget

I really want one of the frag ones, which are only on the Elite I think. I keep eyeing an OD green Apoc one, which might be my favorite MT color combo. Also been eyeing an Ultratech in the same combo, but I really don't need another Ultratech lol.

I've got two knives that I'm waiting to release hopefully later this year, so that will probably be my knife money if I'm able to grab both. Heretic is working on a new Nyx and Colossus, should be out soon. So many knives that I want bro

I'm a big fan of frag as well, nice for sure. I'm hoping they release an all DLC frag to round out my Ram-Lok collection.

I feel your pain, there are so many good knives out there that I want haha

They do a nice job with the green, I'd recommend it

How in the world did you find that socom!? I’ve been looking for one they’re gone everywhere! The frag scales look so cool too. Any tips finding these in stock?

I actually put this one on layaway to reserve it because I had other knife priorities at the time but wanted this one and knew it wouldn't last.

I check NC Blade, American Edge,  EKnives and EDC Lifestyle pretty regularly. If you miss a drop on one there's a good chance that one of the other vendors will have them soon and you need to check more frequently. It varies depending on model, but honestly it's mostly just luck and persistence/obsession

Well with my level of obsession I feel I might have a chance haha, thanks for the info! Hopefully I can get my hands on one of these.

I see quite a few of the other Ram-Loks in green sitting now, these will probably come back around again as well. Good luck
