First Impressions: CMB, Kizer & TwoSuns

Published: 2 years ago

Woohoo, more knives. My favorite!

This CMB Predator has really grown on me lately. Nice tall blade with some great sharpening choil. A little strange how the clip is the only hardware that wasn't blackened, but such is life.

I'm also doing a cut test on the TS162 currently. It's up to 700 cuts currently, so it's not a slouch. That's great as this banana-blade is one of my favorite for doing cuts on a surface.
