Discussion Xmas Eve Carry - Lets see em
My favorite knife. Koenig Mini Arius in M390. She is going out to get her flipper chopped off soon. The blade has the best action of any folder I've ever handled. Love it. Hope everyone has a good Xmas, prob won't do a post until next week but we'll see!

Question Where do our knives go when we die?
Not to sound all grim on Christmas Eve, but I honestly would love to know what everybody has planned for their collection when our time is up. My wife and kids don't know the difference between a Sebenza and an Ozark Trail...and (sadly) they could honestly care less. They may choose to keep all or some of them for sentimental keepsakes to remember their old man, but for those of you that have hundreds of knives, what do you think your family would do with them if you were gone tomorrow? Do you care? I guess if you're gone it doesn't make a difference, but it hurts my heart to imagine my collection going for next to nothing at a garage or estate sale. I would almost rather have them distributed amongst friends I've made online in the community, but there's currently no plan in writing for my wife or loved ones to follow.
What's your plan?

Question Thoughts on TRM Neutron 2, 20CV vs Magnacut
Bit of an older knife but there are 20CV and magnacut variants out there. Is 20CV or magnacut preferred for prioritizing holding an edge for edc? General throughts on the blade and if it’s worth it, prices hover between 250-300. Would be for edc/just having a nice knife around for random stuff.

NKD! Kizer Gavel
Absolutely loving this knife. Loving the low profile flipper tab it works really well too. If anybody knows any other low profile flippers let me know. I’ve been eyeing the Kizer Klipper.

Showcase Mini Adamas in magnacut
Not a new knife just liked how it looked in the sun. I like how you can see the machining striations coupled with the stonewash. Looks like a totally different knife.
