This past year I just started getting into knives and collecting, this is the lineup so far! Most recent pickup was the pm2 15v sprint run, my second favorite I own. My number one is the m390 bailout with carbon fiber scales. Any suggestions on what I should go for next?

Last epic NKD in a bit since I need to recover from impulse and irresponsible purchases the last few weeks 😅

Added SLUSS ghost timascus clip from a previous rask. Maybe get the clip polished down the road, but pretty stoked I was able to get a non-rose damasteel pattern as well.

Ordered back in February so a 6 month wait time wasn’t great tbh, but it’s def a keeper in the collection for sure.

The REN is a top-tier pocket carry with Rockstead's legendary Honzukuri (T-Shinogizukuri) tanto-convex blade geometry on a 3.7" blade with 67 HRC ZDP-189 core and VG10 cladding (same San Mai logic as the Ritsu to improve corrosion resistance and toughness without sacrificing ZDP's edge retention).

This is the DMB (Dark Matter Black) version, Rockstead's follow-up to the standard REN-ZDP that upgrades the front show scale from regular carbon fiber to Dark Matter Black Fat Carbon, and plates the handle's screw covers/backspacer in rose gold instead of bare titanium. The titanium lock side, pocket clip, and frame lock with steel insert carry over from the standard REN, and it weighs in at 4.4oz.

It's still very tricky to photograph mirror polished blades, so there are a few reflections in my photos, but the mirror convex bevel is flawless in person (with Rockstead's trademark matte vapor-blasted upper section for contrast against the polish). I added a comparison shot with my RITSU and, despite the forced perspective, they're around the same size.

Herman Tesseract Sting with high polish fafnir damasteel blade. Been looking for a tesseract piece ever since I saw it, always loved these kinds of patterns and seeing it engraved in ti at this fidelity is just so fuckin cool. First time buying this tier of knife no more knives for me rest of the year lol.

The BladeHQ exclusive Sebenza has always looked amazing. Definitely one of my most carried Sebenzas in the collection.

Today I have a McNees Dixon zirblast, and a AUX MFG Pocket Bowie in damasteel. Happy Tuesday my people.

Got a present for myself for finishing treatment and finally getting back to work! PM2 salt with flytanium classic titanium scales and rgt blue titanium anodized hardware. Also threw an old lynch clip on there cause the color matched! Can’t wait to give this treatment to my para 3 in a few days. Let me know what you think!

Trying to sell some things I inherited to help pay some bills.

Brand new PM2 Magancut from blade hq sale. I know the center on these is always hit or miss but this seems extremely off. Dosent rub but super super close. All I see online is people saying loosen the pivot and retighten. Worried that will lead to disassembling and re loctiting it? Any recommendations or is this a send back level one? Neither my Freek or rat1 had any center issues.

Just installed RGT scales on the new Sage 6 in REX121. It’s my Godzilla knife that is slicing in BEAST mode. King of the knives!

Here's another one that's out the door. Used 80CRV2 and natural micarta for this one with a little bit of a different rock texturing on the handle.
Let me know what you think!
Thanks for looking!
