I love the look of that shuffle. I have only seen pics over the last fee days and was thinking about getting one myself. What do you love about it?

I really like the look of the back spacer, though I don't drink so I don't need a bottle opener.
But the stonewash with the blue really does it for me.
These pictures are pretty close to what the true color is in person.

Not to get too off-topic... But I just searched around online for directions.

Basically you cut rectangles of cloth and layer them onto each-other while coating them with resin or epoxy.

I got cheap ($15) fiberglass resin for my first attempts. Epoxy is a bit too expensive for me to experiment with, but I hear you get better results (harder) with it.
I've been debating on trying it myself...
My Izula came with handles... but I've seen people get good results doing it themselves.

Well for one, for the money(mine at least) it's very well made. The lock up on it is fairly early for sub 20 dollars, the ergonomics are great, blade characteristics(edge retention, sharpen-ability) are pretty good for the price, plus you get a milled back spacer, and I don't even notice it's clipped in my pocket until I need... or want to play with it lol
Also, mine is a dark blue handle with stonewashed blade, clip, and back spacer and I think it looks great. The blue does with the stonewash very well.
I'll post a better picture of it when I get home from work.

How do you like the handle? I was thinking of getting one for mine, but am not sure how much bulk it will add under my shirt. Will it start leaving a bulge under a tshirt and such?
I love the handle, I don't wear it under a shirt though
I tie it to my belt and put it in my front pocket.
It bulges a little... but it's like carrying a larger framed gun, it'll print a little bit with just a t shirt, but honestly no one is looking and if someone does notice they're probably carrying too.

I am new also. Here is what I am carrying today. Hopefully, we can get some traffic here. I have recently fallen in love with knives again, but I do not have the funds to drop hundreds on them. This could be a great place.

I sure hope so... I have a couple expensive knives... but most of what I have is almost certainly considered "budget" to the guys on bladeforums.
How are you liking your Candiru?
Seems like a nice little edc fixed blade.

Not really following the budget theme today I suppose...
Shiny new RHK XM-18 in FDE DLC s35vn Bowie,
And Microtech UTX-70 in Desert Camo Elmax Tanto.

Hope someone other than me is on here... this forum seems like it's been pretty quiet since May-ish of last year...
LET'S MAKE SOME NOISE AROUND HERE!

New to this forum, been on BF for a few months.
I've got a decent collection for only having about 18 months in the hobby. Everything from a Buck Nobleman, and Kershaw Suffle to Emerson CQC 8, and Hinderer XM-18...
Looking forward to watching the community grow and taking part in the conversation.
