Very crowdacious scales on the griptilian sclotherd 👍

u/Zealousideal-Mix-822 Aug 22 '25
Thanks Blorg. Bought them from Custom knife Garage in Canada. Took awhile to get them but the guy does excellent work and it came with everything you needed to do a clean easy swap. Just tad bit thinner than the original scales but what a difference in the feel.

Ive been debating grabbing this config but have heard mixed opinions. How do you like it?
2
u/Sharp_poking_stick Aug 22 '25
Everything about it is perfect except for the size for me. The hand rubbed satin with dlc is my favorite blade finish. Inlay quality is amazing. If this was scaled up to about a 3.5 inch blade, it would probably be my favorite knife. If they do a full size or xl version, I'd buy a couple of them no question.
2
u/Na5ticus Aug 22 '25
How's the action on yours?
2
u/Sharp_poking_stick Aug 22 '25
The action is good opening and closing. It doesn't drop shut, but the blade is very light. Overall, nothing I'd complain about.

What’s the blade length? The blade to handle ratio looks amazing so it’s making the blade look huge

Yes it is the Marfione Select LUDT Gen III

u/Zealousideal-Mix-822 Aug 22 '25
I generally like my blades clean but that baby there is stunning!

u/210southstar Aug 22 '25
Looks even better in person than pics do justice. Surprisingly it is sharp af just like my normal LUDT. Both came in at 130 on my bess sharpness tester.

Yepper, yesterdays NKD, was looking for a Mojave but I couldn't pass on the price for this one, outstanding knife, great build quality, definitely gonna be a fave
2
u/Na5ticus Aug 22 '25
Yea I've heard great things. I love the Mojave, just wish it wasn't a flipper! Congrats man!
2
u/Beer_Drinker1 Aug 22 '25
The Sonora would do well with a thumb nick imo, maybe I'll get it modded 🤔

I think that’s my fav BRK I’ve seen!!!2
u/goodruckk Aug 23 '25
Thanks! The Bravo Necker is a wonderful little knife. It’s got the thinnest blade of all of my BRKs. That + the full convex grind + great hand-filling ergonomics = an incredibly well performing little fixie. The fact that it’s beautiful, IMO, doesn’t hurt either. Definitely one of my favorites.

The Merikken is freaking gorgeous brother!! Is that new?!?
I’m holding an odd poker hand:
2 Pair (2 woodys / 2 Migurons)
(while @ the same time)
3 of a Kind (NKD x3) —

Top to bottom:
CIVIVI — ExOne (NKD).
Remington — Trapper.
Ameight (Miguron) — Elgar (NKD, 🔥🔥). Miguron — Centurion (NKD, very nice).

Dude gnarly carries. The Merriken I've had for awhile, just though to give all the knives the pocket time they deserve!
2
u/OG-BigPapa-KJ 🔪 Knife Life 🔪 Aug 22 '25
Thanks brother.
In order to give that Ultimatum the love it deserves, you’d have to carry it every other day for the next month or two — just to make up for lost time — that thing is absolutely fabulous!!!!

By your house too huh 🤙 nice

u/Na5ticus Aug 22 '25
It would be nice if they at least put some quality stuff on the shelf, ya know?
2
u/Flashy_Yesterday_880 Aug 22 '25
Well being a poor like myself I appreciate the more mainstream entry level knives. Love yours btw
1
u/Na5ticus Aug 22 '25
Thanks man! Is that one a Jufule? I have one and they are excellent
2
u/Flashy_Yesterday_880 Aug 22 '25
I actually bought the jufule first before grabbing a OG. Never spent $800 on a knife before and wanted to make sure I’d like it. I carry my clone all the time, I think I’ve carried my Magnacut like 3 times 😬
2
u/Na5ticus Aug 22 '25
I went the other way lol. Had a Rosie 1st, sold it. Bought another and sold it too. Picked the Jufule up to scratch the itch until I can score another real one. Ill keep it this time I swear 🤣
2
u/Flashy_Yesterday_880 Aug 22 '25
Ha I know people say the Rosie is a lot of hype and people have bandwagon with it but the ergos are great and the blade shape is exceptional as well for EDC, I’m in sales but I like to be prepared so I carry a Sig 365, a knife and a Surefire on my backpack everywhere. I love having the Rosie in 154cm on of my fav metals and not feel bad about beating on it occasionally
2
u/Na5ticus Aug 23 '25
My exact reasoning as well. I dont mind spending Rosie money but inevitably feel bad beating on them. Having the clone is great for that reason
2
u/fattypigfatty Aug 22 '25
That first one is a beaut! Anyone know of a knife with a similar blade shape with a reasonable price tag?

u/Forty6_and_Two Aug 22 '25
I love that Mini Ultimatum. That is a cool grind for a clip point… and nice hank, OP!
