Got a new knife for Prime Day...

[Missourian]

I REALLY wanted a Kizer Sheepdog or Sheepdog XL...been looking at them for a few years... But at $70 and $100 respectively, I have to pass...

... But...I found this CJRB Crag on discount for $34 with free shipping that's pretty darn close...it came today and I have to say I really like it.

I'll post some links below.

The one I bought is exactly like the one in this video...but the non-coated blade with G10 or carbon fiber handles are $38 plus 20% off and this black coated with red accents and black carbon fiber handle is $44 plus a $10 off coupon...$34 total with free shipping (same price at bladehq but add shipping)

Also features ceramic ball bearing flipper.

I'm not familiar with that steel. Sounds like a new mystery steel alloyed in a way with some elements from beyond to outperform at its price point trying to compete with some very high end steels.

I saw a Gerber at Walmart that looked pretty much like that. Not sure if it was spring-assisted, but it did have that tanto point on the blade.

In my EDC journey I've ended up at Spyderco Chaparral lightweight in CTS-XHP. I've moved past ball bearing pivots. Too, I like the extra hardness XHP exhibits.

Is AR-RPM9 Steel Good Knife Steel?

The rare earth components appear to be impurities...

90 carbon and 60 nickel and high alloy, look like some pretty tough stuff.

I use some powder metal tool steels, tool life is equal or better than M42 Cobalt.

I bought a Gerber Flatiron last year and wasn't the least bit impressed with it.

I have no idea where it is right now and honestly don't care to know.

Nothing against Gerber... But I the Flatiron was not for me.

Dealspot- Gerber Flat Iron $23...

Prime Day 2020 only deal...$27 + 20% off. IOW today only...until 23:59 I believe. This one has an aluminum handle. They have a micarta and a g10 handle for more $. I've been wanting to try this blade profile....but not at full price for 7Cr17MoV. If you're in the same boat...this seems like...

Knife review... Kershaw Leek...two year anniversary...

Recommended to me by Uncensored2008 in 2020...bought this one in May 2020 and it hasn't left my pocket since. The most perfect little EDC I've owned. Easy to sharpen, stays put, made in the USA, Sandvik 14C28N steel and I've managed not to lose it in two years...which is an accomplishment...

My previous couple had 14C28N, I like that steel a lot. XHP is a damned sight harder to sharpen. Wasn't a fan of the Leek blade shape.

90 carbon is not all that these days. I'm sure it will do the job, though.
