I landed a Protean just before the end of they year, it's absolutely phenomenal. Quickly became my #1 as well. Battles for pocket time with my Roosevelt on the daily. Excellent user and unique looking too (have the blue/silver NACA grid). Can't go wrong with that as your top choice for the all around champ, I'm with you there!
Loveeeee the lct so much. I would have added the one track mind ire to this list next to it. Rob where is your 2023 best of video? I can’t find it anywhere.
Luv ur vid. Rob, u need to rate Protean even higher ... lol,... why? ... Well, couple of days ago, I found THE way to thumb front flip open it. Wow, this bring Protean to another level of enjoyment, bigger smile on my face.... So, can you front flip open it? a challenge,.. lol... or continue to read to find what I found: .. I use my thumb nail to dig into the first dip/jimping on the front flipper, don't use thumb meat, but nail. + a little wrist action, u can open it in no time, both right and left hand,.. lol... njoy
YOUR OPINION IS WRONG! lol - there's obviosly no such thing as wrong opinion. Great selection of knives, brave to include the Militaw in the top 5 but with my limited knowledge I think it's fantastic, stylish and the action is so, so smooth.
I’m sorry but the midtech category 3 of the 4 are production made knifes and not midtechs at all. Midtechs are knifes that the materials are out sourced and then the final build/ touches are done by a custom maker. Nice knifes but that’s my understanding of midtechs is that they are semi custom made and not just an expensive production knife
Really enjoyed the different categories and how you brought it all together at the end. Thanks for all you do.

I love when people do "honorable mentions" factored into the end of the year lists!!!
Cool picks ✌️. I've handled none of them. But they all look awesome
Thank you! Maybe someday if the opportunity avails to you.
This may be a dumb question however I've only been collecting for about 6 months. How do you know which skiff bearings to buy for your knife?
There is a page through skiff dedicated to telling you which ones to get. Or you can get the tool from skiff (it’s inexpensive) to measure yourself

I'm glad you like it! It's always fun to hear what people think! I think the Militaw is really an outstanding and worthy knife. 👍👊🤜💥🤛🤙🫡🤓
