The WithArmour Black Lynx is a powerful folding Karambit based on the traditional tiger claw. Designed with a sturdy button lock it will not close until you want it to. The very sharp high carbon 440C steel blade is satin finished and embraced by extremely durable sure-grip G10 handles. This Karambit is built to perform -even in the most dangerous situations. A heavy duty nylon belt pouch houses the knife until needed, or you can carry in your pocket via the adjustable clip.
Parang Lading has a long history as a traditional agricultural tool with similar profile as Duku Chandong except for the blade width where the former is much more slimmer and lean and the later is wider.
The cutting edge of Parang Lading does not cover the full length of the blade - the 5in long unsharpened edge from the hilt is used for forward grip or choke-up hand position with the curved spine marking the transition to a 7in long cutting edge for a 12in Parang Lading or Duku Chandong.

SPYDERCO STRETCH 2 LIGHTWEIGHT 3.43" VG-10 FRN FOLDING KNIFE C90PBK2
C90PBK2 Stretch™ 2 Lightweight
The Stretch 2 is a highly refined folding hunting knife and the latest generation in a lineage of cutting tools that has spanned more than three decades. Based on detailed feedback from countless hardcore outdoorsmen, Spyderco’s folding hunters have steadily evolved since the release of the original C03 Hunter™ in 1983.
The Stretch 2 is a direct reflection of that real-world input and represents the pinnacle of the breed.
The heart of the Stretch 2 is its VG-10 stainless steel blade. Full-flat ground for exceptional edge geometry, it features a drop-point profile that excels at all field-dressing tasks. Its fully accessible Trademark Round Hole™ allows easy one-handed opening with either hand and proudly identifies the knife as a Spyderco product.
For increased leverage and greater comfort in large hands, the injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handle has been lengthened and its ergonomics fine tuned. The result is a highly refined handle shape that provides extraordinary control and reduces fatigue during prolonged use. Its Bi-Directional Texturing™ guarantees a secure grip, even when wet, and is complemented by a deep index-finger choil (finger groove) for an enhanced purchase with a “choked up” grip. These refinements complement a four-position pocket clip, sturdy back lock mechanism, and signature Round Hole to make the Stretch 2 fully ambidextrous and ready for the toughest challenges.

TOPS KNIVES 7.75" TAHOMA FIELD KNIFE TAHO-01
The Tahoma Field Knife is designed to provide anything the outdoor professional would need in a knife.
"My load out for my camera is sometimes 45 lbs, and that's not including any food or equipment for my-self to keep me alive. Designing a knife that would keep my weight down to a minimum and comfortable for all day use was really the goal." said Andy.
His background in tinkering, and fundamental knowledge of physics and human movement was the foundation and basis of development for the Tahoma Field Knife.
The tip has a double edge, used as a backup blade in the event the main edge should become dull during an extended period of time without a means to sharpen. The notch on the spine of the blade is used for scoring materials to create a weak point to break, as well as break wire by work hardening it, and pulling pots and similar items out of a fire. The thumb ramp has a hole in it for a forward wrist lanyard popular in cutting contests as well as to aid in lashing the knife to the end of a stick to make a spear. The finger choil makes bringing the hand closer to the blade possible for fine carving tasks. The choil also creates a secondary "tip" for carving or notching. The overall shape of the handle is made for ergonomics and to give the user a better grasp like on a machete. Dual spindle sockets for a bow drill make it safe to use left or right hand operation. On the pommel of the knife is a pry bar, shaped and positioned so that if given a backseat grip on the knife during chopping, it would not cut, or wear into your hand. Every feature is integrated into the knife to work with each other, as well as be instinctual to the user so that it feels like an extension of the body.
Whether you're in the field collecting specimens, or in the field defending freedom, the Tahoma Field Knife is a reliable companion in an uncertain world.

It's hard not to love the Elementum. It's harder not to like the Button Lock Elementum! And now, the best of the Elementum folders in one Civivi Cogent!! If that is not clear enough ..
I like Clip Point blade profile with a bit of a belly for good cutting and piercing. There are other models with half-serrated blade but I prefer a straight edge one and only if the blade comes with a satin finish ... well
The G10 scales have grooves that add to the aesthetics of the handle with 3-watchful eyelets. It looks great with finger choil (finger grooves) for choke-up position with the flipper tab functioning like a finger guard.
Strike 1 .. Yes (Flipper Tab)
Strike 2 .. Yes (Button Lock)
Strike 3 .. (???????????)
Why 11 question marks? Well, the thumb Studs are missing .. 3 cross-hatch lines mean we should get a flipper tab, button lock and a thumb stud, right? Well, one can only hope ..
Anyways, I like Civivi and I must say thank you again for bringing out awesome design and improvements with high-quality blades at a price point that doesn't break the bank.

Do you like your scales in Black? What about Burgundy? Jade? Green Micarta ... or like me Purple. And what about serration? Or plain edge ...
I like plain edge ... These are the things you can expect from Civivi, all manner of designs and colors!
And did I mentioned about the Damascus blade?
A flipper and a Button Lock ... omg ... Civivi let's do something great and add the ambidextrous thumb studs ok ... and that will be totally awesome!!
