    The m miguron pagos is one of the best looking knives I've seen lately
    I'm no fan of front flippers but I'd buy one
    Maybe for myself for Christmas or something.
    This company makes full custom production knives costing hundreds of dollars this one is 45.00

    I forgot to post this IMG_20250422_185451403_HDR~3.jpg
    I bought 2 of the swamp rompers
    Both are very well handmade with nice thick leather sheaths second to none
    High carbon they will discolor if not maintained
    I like them with patina.
    They're still on sale for 50.00 at Chicago knife works
    The 6" low drag is about 80.00

    A traditional K-BAR is hard to beat.

    I've got a soft spot for them. They're the first more expensive knife I bought. Before that it was gas station folders and Bud K cheaper knives.

    Combat tested. Apparently approved...still in use 80 years later. I don't own any high dollar knives. Those type items are too 'valuable' to me and would only cause anxiety.

    I certainly understand that. There's some very nice knives out there, that I would love, but I can't bring myself to spend 300-400 bucks on a knife. Winklers are one of those brands. 100-150 is my max, and most of those don't get used. I think that Mark 1 was about 60 bucks when I got it.

    Here's one for today. It's a rotation depending on my mood and color preference.[​IMG]
