I have the Pena Apache in that pattern as well. Actually, I have 2. One as an extra just in case.

That one is actually a propriatary pattern fron an artist known as WKRMN

I’d probably take the Apache over the Caballero in that same pattern. But I like Caballero better than the Apache in micarta.

My way of saying "I am a peaceful man who is just a nerd who likes cool things and is lucky enough to ne able to afford them."

The tactical Gravy Seals and the "Use you **** people (as if though you need an expensive knife to cut carpet or work in farming) annoy the crap out of me.

I don't know yet, but I've heard that the caballero fires harder, which is nice.

Best front flipper ever though, is this: https://www.arizonacustomknives.com/products/1040747/
Mini Tempest - Drop Point Black PVD Gold Dark Matter FatCarbon - also very handsome. It is a considerably larger knife though,

People are free to do whatever, but in my many years of teaching “self defense”, I’ve found that knives and guns are singularly poor self defense tools. They have no defensive capabilities, and are an immediate escalation. A tempered glass pot lid is much better. You can cut, you can hurt purely by blocking, and your line of sight is never compromised. Of course, pot lids are awful in pocket, so there are drawbacks.

Probably never. The only ones i've seen them do more than once are the F5.5, which is an exclsuive model, and the modified Spyderco McBee (modified by Jonathan McNees).

Dang it. I prefer that pattern on the apache than the Caballero.

I buy the seigaiha handle pattern knives that I like immediately. I've rarely had buyers remorse, but have had non-buyers remorse many times.

I'm the opposite. I prefer the more traditional pattern on the Caballero.

Blade shape wise, they are both winners. Just for different reasons.

Get this: https://www.traditionalpocketknives...n-mini-knife-qs130s-gray-jigged-titanium-m390
QSP Mini pengiun framelock with jigged titanium scales. I have... a lot of knives, and this little thing fires so hard and a strong, magetic feeling detent.

Reminds me of the Spyderco Techno 2. "Tough little knife" vibes. Great price too. I approve.

It's excellent, especially at that price. What I am really looking forward to, probably at the end of the month is the Vero mini-Axon. I have the full size, but it is a big knife. The mini, under 3" of blade, is more useful for me.

The Spyderco techno 2 has no steel lockbar insert or over travel protection and a very deep cutout. Like the Spyderco Paysan, it’s prone to lock slip.

Pass.

So life has been kind of tough for the last year or so…and I’ve really been lacking in sources of dopamine. Clothes haven’t really been doing it for me and I’ve been getting into knives now and …****…I just want them all!

I work out a fair bit, and practice bjj and kickboxing, and always suggest exercise as healthy sources of dopamine, but yeah, it's been a few difficult few years.

I don't necessarily want to know about the part that was asterixed out, but I can help with pocket knives. I think that these are very well designed:
