The bugout arrived today. Mrs GJ us super geeked. The weight is still quite light with the G10 scales, feels pretty good in the hands as far as grip. Not like the micarta roughness, though. For a knife this size, I think light is good. Not going to be doing chopping/axing things with it. Blade is quite sharp. This is all probably not news to knife people.

I've had good results stropping my straight razor over the years, but it's a straight cutting edge on a concave blade so might be a different animal. I'll look into it either way. If it's once ever couple years, shipping it would be a small cost for a nice, fresh blade. |

Just got my BK14 Eskabar Now I just need some handle scales and a good sheath as I’m not a fan of the one it came with. |

looking forward it as a slim and lightweight option for mostly box duty |

the bugout arrived and i found my 940(tucked away in the wife's camping backpack) so double win! really loving the bugout so far actually. slots in rather well with what i've got going on already. kind of fell out of love with the mini-grip since it's just too small for my hand.

The BK14 needed scales so I got the izula ones that "kinda" fit. I'd have bought the ones made for it but they aren't in stock anywhere. Meanwhile, the izula ones make it a whole lot better to grip than without.

haven't really been carrying over the past two years since baby life but before that 940 was the usual. PM2 for hiking/camping. the bugout is so slim and light it disappears in the pocket i bet more than a few will end up in the washing machine inadvertently as time goes on lol

I had posted it here but I had ordered a Para 3 to try out as a replacement for my lost 940. Within 2hrs of ordering I found the 940 after a month of it being lost. |

Got a new knife today, fun little opinel No 8 in their stainless for including in the camping box. Just want something handy and easy to sharpen.
Testing it out it’s crazy sharp compared to my 940. I really need to tune it up or even send to Benchmade for their sharpening service. |

Ive always wanted one of those opinel knives and everyone always remarks on the factory edge being razor sharp. Nice scoop.

I've been using it all the time during the day as a kitchen knife, and I have to say it's a nice knife. It feels light and balanced - it balances just about at the end of the wood at the collar. I also ordered these wood-handled steak / whatev knives. My friend has black plastic ones at his restaurant. |

If any of you ever had the urge to get a balisong just for the hell of it, Kershaw now has a made in the USA model for just over $100 on BladeHQ called the Lucha. It's very solid and I feel I got more than my money's worth. Am I going to cut the **** out of my self sooner or later? Probably. They also sell a trainer version if you're more cautious and want to learn how to flip for real.

Absolutely no utility in them, but they're definitely fun. Balisongs and switchblades for everyone!

Any recommendations for something similar in size around the same price as this? I really like my Leek but I need something to fill in during the 6 week estimate to get it worked on.
