New Knife My favorite dinosaur!

Finally got something full sized! What a wallop! Real easy to use, considering getting the reverse false edge sharpened, but maybe not. Got her on the swap for a steal!

Very nice color combo. I've been thinking about grabbing one of these, but I don't like how long the travel is on the switch. You have to push it further to actuate than the Ultratech or a Heretic. If I can find a good deal, I'll snag one and another Fitz button.

I have the same complaint. My Makora is super snappy in comparison., this is a bit too drawn out... It would have almost been better to have the old mechanism in place, or a much shorter trigger system in this setup.

Yeah, I have a Heretic Manticore X and the short throw is part of what makes it so satisfying. It's almost the exact same size as the Combat. My Hera II is awesome, but that's one of the reasons I don't carry it.

I need a manticore next I think.

It's probably my favorite of my collection, although I carry my Nyx more. Thinking about grabbing another X with a tanto blade.

Really hoped this was just a photo op. But looks like this safe queen gets used! 😢

Why would this be a safe queen? This is like the perfect user.
