Felt a little fancy today... What's everyone got in their pockets today? I've owned a handful of Tactile Knife Co. folders but never the Rockwall w/ thumbstuds. I gotta say...I really like it.

My Blade Show Texas “Captain’s Edition” Wicket XL with ‪@auxmfg‬ and ‪@KnivesByNuge‬ is live now on ‪@CajunKnifeAndGear‬

This one means a lot to me. Two years ago, I worked with Tom Nuge on a harpoon Wicket XL, my first ever collab. Now it’s back with a twist.

Only 8 were made, and each one was hand-wrapped by Michael Jarvis of Aux MFG.
Mike and I also teamed up on the Captain’s Tsume, a small fixed blade with a hawksbill blade. We made 20 of those, and there are only a few left.

The blade on the Hypercut Manufacturing Dharma fires out like a TANK. I posted a video here incase you guys want to see it.

This thing is badass and even though autos aren’t high on my list I kinda sorta want this one 😂

Every single aspect of this knife is USA made and machined in Asheville, NC by Dylan Davis. Definitely check em out if you've never heard of his work.

Come on now...

Look at these beauties from Half Face Blades!!! The larger one is called Crow Jr. and it's got all sorts of materials. Giraffe bone, brass pin striping, brass mosaic pins, and more.

The little one is a Disaster Cub with Elk antler scales and mosaic pins... I love em both. Which one would you carry?

This beautiful thing is called the Ragnarok V4 by NCC Knives. Nick Chuprin has been in the knife game since he was 14 years old!

He specializes in machining and anodizing titanium so a lot of his models have clean lines, crazy colors, and hidden details that many don't notice right off the bat.

For example, in order to achieve this finish Nick has an 8 layer process. Even if he did the same 8 steps the finish would look ever so different.

Im working on a full length YouTube video about him, super stoked to share that with you guys.
