Question CIVIVI from Walmart - opinions?
Inspired by other posters purchasing this brand at Walmart, I went to my local store last night and bought this Qubit for $27.00 and the Mini Praxis for $29.77. Unfortunately, this morning I inspected the Qubit's blade and it looks rough, used. Is this a big deal? Is the Qubit still worth it? How about the Mini Praxis?

Modding New Lynch clip for the Buck 112 Crossbar
For anybody on the fence about this knife, get off the fence! It's an excellent knife. I haven't carried, or used, any other knife since I got it several weeks ago. It carries well in the pocket, the blade opens smooth as butter, no blade play whatsoever, locks up solid and a nearly frictionless drop shut. If I were to complain about anything, it would be the detent. It's kinda soft, but that's typical of crossbar locks, so it's not like I'm disappointed by it.

Discussion TB Outdoor Commandeur en ziricote – Premières impressions à la réception 🇫🇷
Salut à tous !
Je voulais vous partager quelques photos de ma dernière acquisition : le TB Outdoor Commandeur avec son manche en ziricote. J’en profiterai pour le mettre en comparaison avec son grand frère, le DRAVIK, afin de vous montrer les différences entre les deux modèles en images.
Première chose qui m’a agréablement surpris à la réception : l’emballage et la présentation générale. Le couteau arrive dans une jolie boîte, avec un petit mot qui fait toujours plaisir. On sent qu’il y a eu de l’attention portée à la présentation, et ça donne une très bonne première impression avant même d’avoir pris le couteau en main.
Et justement, une fois en main, le Commandeur respire la qualité ! Les finitions inspirent confiance, le manche en ziricote est vraiment sympa avec ses nuances et son veinage naturel, et l’ensemble est très réussi esthétiquement.
Au niveau de l’ergonomie, rien à redire pour cette première prise en main : le couteau tombe bien dans la main et semble offrir une prise confortable. Autre point qui mérite d’être souligné : il est affûté rasoir en sortie de boîte ! La lame est vraiment très tranchante dès la réception.
Et puis, ça fait plaisir de pouvoir mettre en avant un couteau Made in France réalisé à Thiers par la société Tarrerias-Bonjean. C’est un point que j’apprécie particulièrement, surtout quand la qualité perçue est au rendez-vous.
Je vous partage donc quelques photos du Commandeur, ainsi que des comparatifs avec son grand frère, le DRAVIK. Je trouve intéressant de voir les deux côte à côte et de comparer leur look, leurs proportions et leur finition.
Pour l’instant, ce sont mes premières impressions à la réception, mais elles sont franchement très positives. Il me reste maintenant à voir comment il se comportera à l’usage !
Et vous, que pensez-vous de ces deux modèles TB Outdoor ? Vous avez une préférence entre le Commandeur et le DRAVIK ? Je suis curieux d’avoir vos avis et vos retours si certains d’entre vous les possèdent déjà.

OKD (Old Knife Day) Another inherited piece. Japanese tanto from WWII, or so I was told(more pics in comments)
Another inherited knife from pops. Always told me one of the great uncles brought it home after pulling it out of the guts of some poor soul post seppuku. There is what appears to be a blood stain on the blade, again or so that's the story I got. Any info or insight appreciated greatly (didn't have a banana, silver dollar for scale)
