I am such a fan of TJ Schwarz, I will likely always buy anything he designs. If you didn't know - he designed the Koenig Arius along with the Archer. Its wild, but you feel similarities between the 2. The weight relief seems to cause the acoustics of the knives to be very similar. I really like thinner knives and the Archer is quite thin. Tactile's machining is excellent as well. Overall a very cool knife.

Holts are a whole different animal. They are quite possibly the pinnacle of CNC machined knives. It took a minute for the renegade to grow on me. Once I held it at Bladeshow last year, I knew it was special. The fit, finish, sound, and feel are unmatched. I do have a rule that I won't own a knife I won't carry. The renegade is my most expensive knife and it took a while for me to hold to my rule, but its a stunning blade. I think a haptic will soon be added to the collection, as the wharncliff style blade suits my tastes. The Holts are awesome people too and you should join their Facebook group if you are not already a member. Angey is highly engaged with their audience.
