Thread: Show me your knives

Some piece of shit stole my Benchmade Bugout from my truck one evening. I had fitted some Rockscale Ti scales as well as swapped out the screws for blue Ti ones also. I really liked this knife and was certain I'd get another.

I figured I needed two new knives after that. One to be a workhorse and one to be pretty (cause everyone needs a pretty EDC knife).
I bought from Knife Center a QSP Parrot and a Lionsteel/Spyderco Spyopera. The Benchmade was tough to get out of the US because of supply agreements. The 535-3 Bugout came in a S90 blade with carbon fiber scales. I think I'll still get one but not just now.
The Parrot was rated highly with a D2 spearpoint blade, micarta scales and a build far better then it's price suggests. It was the cheap knife ($30USD) for daily use and should this get pinched or lost I'd not be in a foul mood for a month. I only just got it but so far it's ideal. Sharp out the box and fits my big hands pretty well. It's on brass washers but feels like bearings as it flips nice and quick.

The Spyopera was a bit of an impulse buy. Spyderco did a colab with Lionsteel by making a Spydy version of Lionsteels popular Opera folding knife. Bohler M390 blade, Ti liners in a traditional lockback design. Everything has been crowned and feels great in the hand even though it is a smallish knife. Lionsteel is a small Italian operation and I'd always wanted to have on of their knives.
