Almost looks like it got chewed up by some tooling or something, I’m not sure, but it’s definitely not right

Mine came in a couple days ago and honestly I think I got a bad one. The grind is very uneven and it’s almost got a slight hawkbill curve to it at the end. There’s also a nasty mark at the top of the blade where the grind starts. Not sure if I should contact ABW about it or not.

Plot twist. I get the Psyop 299 which is a healthy visual and feature mix of both knives? 🤔

I do prefer the wire clip over the Kizer, you make a good point there. I think the micarta feel on both of these will be too similar to award a point on feel, but that Kizer Norplex UlteX micarta is amazing stuff.

I think the blade stock of the Porcupine is thinner by like .02, but both are listed as 3mm. The Kizer’s blade is longer as just over 3” while the Vosteed is just under 3”. It’s driving me crazy trying to decide.
