Most weeks I think I can get by without a new knife, this week there are 2 I want. The Gemini is an awesome knife and with the button lock and the 4v that is amazing, and that Hogue Deka in Magnacut is very cool. I need Magnacut in my life.

Feel the same way, only instead of the Gemini button lock I preordered the KnifeCenter exclusive version of the Pyrite. Saw DCA's overview and just couldn't say no, and it's only the second button lock knife I'll own when it arrives. But the Gemini looks really, really good, it's my favorite of the bunch here.

Some nice new arrivals like looks of the kizer. Love everything about the MKMs except the the price. The tops would turn my head if the blade was an inch shorter. It looks a bit lopsided to me. The fallkniven is gorgeous. Absolutely love it. I have no need for a dagger. But, Santa will be hearing about this one! Kershaw Lucid is on my list now. Love almost everything about it. Would prefer the blue handles on both sides. That metal and plastic combo is popular but doesn’t do anything for me. Normally I skip over kershaw for excessive “tactical“ styling. Lucid looks so much better. Glad they’re taking a break. Interstellar looks good too. I worry it’s not rigid enough. Heretic is good. Deka better. But the spur is on my list. Size looks perfect for pack’s chest strap.

Love you guys lots. Dave, can you guys possibly lovingly convince Hogue to make the magnacut deka with g10 scales instead of the frn? I'm not sure why they don't do both options. I'm sure they have a reason but the people are speaking and they really want g10 scales on these magnacut versions of the deka. Also would love if spyderco would go ahead and make the PM2 and Para3 in magnacut. Not as just an exclusive but as a standard production model. I am saving up money to buy one but don't know if they are ever going to do that. Do you know of anything in the future about that? With much love, Your friend and fan, Chris from Cali
@arrowheadguys7637

Yeah those plastic scales on the Deka are straight garbage. Why would you pair the hot new steel with the cheapest feeling scales on any knife I've ever owned?
@tiltskillet7085
Жыл бұрын
@Jim Book It is the obvious answer, but the 20cv Dekas are already great value for a USA-made knife. I'm still surprised they didn't upcharge for a magnacut version with G10 scales, instead of competing directly with the older model. It'd be ridiculous to claim I know the business better than Hogue, but I'd have bought one months ago to replace my old Benchmade edc if they had gone that direction. As it is, I'm sticking with the old knife for now, hoping for a better magnacut Deka, but also eyeing the competitors as they come out. TY for mentioning the SMKW exclusive. If it wasn't for the finish, I'd buy it. Guess I'm picky!
@DJayPhresh
Жыл бұрын
I'd like to see the Deka offered in Magnacut steel, but with the G10 scales of the 20CV versions. I don't need the weight shavings, I'd prefer the extra stability of the g10 scales, but Magnacut is just a way tougher steel than 20CV, so I'd prefer that any day of the week. And they clearly have the capability, since they now make both versions. It shouldn't be hard for them to simply swap out the blades on their other ones.
