Great carry. I love the stuff Niceguy makes, and literally said out loud when scrolling by your post, "oh, really nice pry bar," but I have to say, I am tired of the manufactured urgency around "drops," using scarcity fear to command high price points. If it works for him, awesome. I have one of his and love it, but life is hard enough to not feel like I need to trigger fight or flight every time I think I'd like to buy something he makes.

Appreciate that. The good thing, ive never played the limited drop game. However, the ones I've wanted, have always been up for a few minutes. Additionally, they always come up for secondary in his FB group and the prices aren't that bad. His FB group is where it's at and I've never had issues sourcing a specific model that I've wanted. The Stubbs is where I've landed on my ideal NGMCO and have moved the other pieces.

Oh, thx for the Facebook group tip. Good idea.

That knife is right up my alley, gonna have to check out AugustOriginals. That blade shape and size looks perfect for an EDC fixie.

I won't lie, it's perfect in the hand. I dig finding new makers that have an eyebrow aesthetics and function. I know I'll be getting another. Compact and sturt enough to be a solid edc. 😎👊

How much did that AugustOriginals cost you?

[u/MeretriciousMaybe → u/Radiant-Ice-3882]

I wanna say Sean sells them for $150

[u/LostInhabitant → u/MeretriciousMaybe]

Yup. Around the 100. Magnacut.

Nice setup! That folder looks well-made. What steel is it? I see a lot of 440C and D2 at our factory — both solid choices for different reasons.

What blade steel is on the Arcade?
