CKF Ratax - dark stonewash titanium integral with mirror DLC M398 🤌

(that's the sky on the blade)

Piratech Kraki with mirror DLC S90V and zirconium.

This thing is beautiful, the materials work well together. There's no pocket clip on this version which feels great in hand, but getting a good grip to close it is a bit awkward

Some of my favorite handle textures/milling, in no particular order.

Machinewise Mojave / Rangermade OBJ-2 / Demko AD20 / McNees Dixon / Oz Machine Rosie XL / TRM Atom / Medford Praetorian T / Chris Reeve Umnumzaan / Microtech Amphibian / Maxace Sandstorm / QSP Rhino / PMP Ares / Kunwu Tao III / Poikilo Tuna / CKF Evo 1.1 / Herman Ishtar / Vosteed Psyop / Shirogorov F95

Another Kunwu from CKW. Took 18 days to arrive, but saved $72 so no complaints. The knife feels great in hand with the lack of lock cut out and smooth but grippy texture. The Verta lock works well, it's flickable but not the snappiest, solid lock up. Kunwu does a nice satin finish. Definitely happy to add it to the collection, especially for the price

Diamond and DLC

KB Vagrant / Kunwu Padre / Kunwu Tao III / Kunwu Django XL

I've always liked this design and this version (diamond milled titanium, M390, full DLC) is my favorite yet. I think Kubey has always been decent for the price, especially with WMK pricing, while the retail on the KB line is pushing it. I finally grabbed this on sale and it's well worth it.
