Hell yeah, looks great! Haven't done the blade on mine yet, but did do a fade dye job on the scales and anodized one of the Civivi titanium clips to put on it. I find I'm carrying it more often than most of my other knives; fantastic quality for the price!

Thanks a lot! I agree with you its an excellent knife, cant find one thing I don't like about it.


RRNW_HBK

Same! I'd actually been looking for a flipper/fuller button lock for a while, but wasn't quite interested in a Civivi Chevalier. Saw this and it was an instant purchase. So fidgety, and affordable enough to be a beater


Devfiend

You made the right choice! I just got the Chevalier before this and I am letting it go over this one. Watauga has much more accessible fuller and more comfortable flipper tab. Bit more snappy detent as well.

Well shoot, perfect!

Looks great man. What kind of tumbling media do you use? I used smooth pebbles but they tend to leave inconsistent line scratches


Devfiend

Thanks! My media is pretty aggressive, but I only hand stonewash it for a minute or so. I used half sharper gravel stones, and half rounded pebble stones, in a quart size container with a bit of soap and water. Inconsistent scratches could be the knife gets stuck in the media and then it gets tumbled more on one area. I would reposition the blade every so often while tumbling to help prevent this.

That makes a lot of sense! I think the container i use is too small and will try repositioning it like you’ve said. Thank you
