Nice review and pictures! Love Partagas shorts 

Thanks!  I agree, they are quickly becoming a favorite.  This box won’t last long that’s for sure!  Almost grabbed another this evening haha

Great review and love the photos. Dupont Ligne 2? The most beautiful lighter ever made. And blades are nice too.

Thanks!  Yup, ligne 2.  I’ve got the bad habit of collecting Duponts and I basically stole this one the price was so low.  Bought it leaking so I just rebuilt it, a little clean up and polish is next.  She’s got some rough spots from being dropped on what I assume was concrete before so it will make a nice one to daily or use in the shop.

Love Shorts !!! that Dupont could use some polish. In a few minutes it could be shiny. What is that brand of knife? It looks like a custom

I’ll give it a good buff here soon but it’s not as bad as the terrible shop pictures make it look.  The knives are custom...by me.  I’m a part time maker, happy to share a link to my Instagram if that doesn’t violate any rules.

Smoking a cuban cigar while you make your own knives. That’s badass. Appreciate the review

What kind of steel are you using?  I’m a M390 or CV20 guy because it’s probably the most optimal steels going. I have an Olamic Busker that was made for me on my birthday that is M390. I’m a small knife guy. I want a Gareth Bull Mini Shamwari with the 2.75 inch blade but I don’t think he makes any under 3 now. I love front flippers. My Busker is the ultimate fidget knife. I bought it for fidgety play and not because it gets much knife use. I love the size of the Busker. I did have a Spyderco about the same size and I sold it when I got my Busker over a year ago. I will never buy Spyderco again. Owners are rude and don’t care about customer service. Mediocre products anyway. 

My go to steel is AEB-L.  I’ve used S35VN, CPM154, RWL34 etc but I keep coming back to AEB-L.  Great steel.  It’s funny you mention spyderco, those were my first “expensive” knives and I thought they were really something.  Got introduced to the world of custom knives and it was definitely an eye opening experience.  Spyderco has never been the same since lol.
