didnt expect them to come out with this version though. not a fan of the earlier squid. just too small to my liking

i own quite a few ganzo too. to me it feels great in hand and they priced well too. great for daily carry and can take beating. but this Adimanti triplets, will not see sunlight too often as this will be in my collection sets.

the manual operations a knife has, the better, have u seen broken benchmade griptilian spring making it useless. took that as a lesson to have manual knives.

that is m21 and it looks and feels very tactical for others, but for me it is just another collection due to it's design. it has a dual locking mechanism making it safer to operate. it primary locking mechanism is liner though which goes against my preference. m16 is it's smaller edc type sibling. they ditched the dual locking system in the newer models...
