Finger. Chokes up nicelyIs that a finger choil or sharpening choil?

I like a minimal sharpening choil but lately everything I buy has a finger choil. There’s no denying their utility.I’ve developed a real affinity for finger choils. I rarely even consider something without one at this point.
The “Spydie” flick is probably the most fun of all opening methods. I mostly buy backlock knives and it takes a special touch to Spydie flick them, though I typically just like to roll them open. It reminds me of the trigger on a DA revolver, which is my favorite action. Constant tactile feedback throughout the entire motion.I like a minimal sharpening choil but lately everything I buy has a finger choil. There’s no denying their utility.
I can’t stop fiddling with this thing. By the way the fuller works for the middle finger flick open also. Or spydey flick as some call it.
You ever play with a WE knives Blocao? I need me one of those back locks. It’s always been my favorite lock style.The “Spydie” flick is probably the most fun of all opening methods.

The Blocao can bite you though.

When you first look at this thing it seems really busy and overly complex. Then you realize it’s a very simple design with fancy milling.
I think this thing is sweet. 3.25 inches of m390. All titanium everything. Feels extremely comfortable in my hand. Hair popping sharp out of the box. No blade play, centered, and the action is great. Ummm…… might be my new favorite.
Bestech Vigil. Kombou design. I ordered one the day WMK had them listed.
That one ended up getting exchanged, it was difficult to open and close, a QC issue. The replacement arrived today and functions perfectly.This literally just arrived, not a high end EDC knife but it works for me. The Smith & Wesson ExtremeOps knife.
The knife is a little tight getting open but I'm sure I can fix that. It's also a little smaller and lighter than my other cheapie EDC knife.

Those are just some cell phone pics. Honestly they don’t do it justice.That's funny... I was going to ask if the knife actually looks that good, or did you just photograph it well.
That thing looks like it came out of Conan the Barbarian's kitchen.We just got done with a house remodel and I have a bigger deck with a nice grilling area. So I got myself this Tops XXX dicer for my birthday. View attachment 1061771
