Most folks who would stumble into a Pocketknife sub have a mental list of knives that would be great to add to the collection and I’m curious what is on other folks radar?
I am very picky about my collection and generally only get knives I will carry and use, so my list of options is always super short, but the one knife I am most excited for and (patiently?) waiting the next 6 months for is the Winter Blade Co. Factor B3. While I’ve never held one, I’ve seen enough videos of the previous versions to know that it will hit all my buttons (fidget-ey, carbon-ey, magna cut-ey).
So what do you want to add?
I’ve usually had one or two on my list, but at the moment I don’t have any. After buying close to a hundred folders over more than twenty years I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted, I just couldn’t find it:
I could get everything except the blade from third-parties, but I’d given up on finding a recurve blade I liked. Then I found a guy on Etsy who will custom-made any shape you request (and in most high-end steels) for various production knives. He made me a deep recurve with a Wave opener in S90V. The blade shape, along with a full-flat grind, makes that the best slicer I own. Here is how the final results looks: You can’t see it, but the clip on the other side is a gold-anodized deep carry from Lynch NW.
