I have and love all 3. Definitely need to experience the Holy Trinity if you're into the knife hobby. There are many other "heavy hitters" out there but the original big 3 is the best imo.

Love my hinderers, don't have one yet in S45VN but have a XM-24 hollow Slicer coming. Love S45VN in my other knives so anxious to see how hinderer treats there's? S45VN has quickly become a favorite of mine with its edge holding, ease of sharpening and the nasty sticky edge it takes with very little effort.

Aluminum is strong for its weight, great material. Essentially lighter titanium. That said I've dropped both aluminum and carbon fiber from two and a half feet (no this isn't a test that I do) and marked both. Lost a little ano on the aluminum, made a tiny little scuff on the carbon fiber. One day I'm cutting a ziptie at work, snap through, slap a steel grate with nearly a full force backhand. My hogue ritter's g10 scales took red paint off of the grate so I expected decent damage. Wiping off the red scuff revealed no visible damage at all, not a scratch even, and I gained a lot of respect for g10.

How is the anodizing holding up?
@these7seas5 күн бұрын
It’s holding up pretty well. I bumped the pocket clip against a chair or wall and scuffed up a little but nothing crazy. I’d say overall it’s durable enough but with any ano, over time with bumps and dings it’s gonna show. Gives it more character 😀

Ive had the Haptic and the morphius. I ended up trading my Haptic. The spector was the model I wanted most because it's a little bigger. I do love my Morphius though, it's a nude version with kinda the same milling pattern you have on your spector. Anyway they are all bangers. I'm not sure how I feel about the renegade, maybe it will grow on me. Lol. 👍🇺🇲💪💯💵💥ERs
@these7seasАй бұрын
Let the Renegade grow on you. at first I was iffy about it but now that I’ve had it for a little while it is honestly the best model the Holts has come out with. I would even say it’s a little more superior to the Specter IMO.

Absolutely gorgeous with the gold. How did you get it direct from CRK in less than a year? Back in 2008 I special ordered a large Regular Sebenza (as it was being discontinued) with gold hardware, double thumb lugs, and polished blade. Would love to have that one back! Managed to snag a plain large Insingo 31 Magnacut and I’m stoked as I’ve been waiting for years. Not like I had been regularly checking dealers or getting on a notification list like I should have. I just happened to look at the right place at the right time. If I decide to order one again it will be like yours but with polished blade and glass blasted scales.
@these7seasАй бұрын
That sounds like a beautiful config! Yeah at the time I ordered it, they may not have had as many in the queue as now. I heard it’s over a year wait now (more like several years) to get one ordered direct. But it’s worth the wait!

@@these7seas yeah they rapidly went from 1-2 years to 4 years and now 6 years! Probably conservative estimates though and I imagine you would receive most orders sooner.
@these7seasАй бұрын
Yeah. I mean it doesn’t hurt to just put in your order and just forget about it. They don’t require any down payment and once your order comes up, they’ll reach out to you to see if you still want it and if you do at that point, you can pay. If not, then there’s no penalty fee or anything like that.

For current makers i would say Koenig, Oz, and Medford can't be beat. There are others as good, but for high end production models, nobody is better in that price range. Im only talking American, because everyone knows Shiro are probably as good as anything around 1000
