This one’s for the collectors, the chefs, the warriors—and the chelus who carry the island on their hip.
Ive turned this into a daily/work carry. I love the profile and ergonomics of the knife. The weight feels solid and substantial.
The grip is solid and contoured nicely. After carving some stuff up on a trail, absolutely no hotspots.
Build vs price ratio is top notch. This is a great knife. Easy to hone and sharpen as well.
I usually carry a Bradford Guardian but after carrying this I appreciate the extra length it gives (lol)
One thing i did change is solely due to personal preference. For belt carry I’m not a fan of bladetek belt clips so i did switch it off into nylon pull the dot straps. Makes it ride easier for a cross draw or scout carry. Took a couple pics right here to show an example.
Overall 5/5 from me 🤙🏽
Let me tell you. It's one of my favorite knives to fidget with. Only time will tell how well the mechanism will last. I think it would last a while. It's part of my EDC when I get ready for work. Love it, sharing link to who ever asks about it.

Si Yuus Maase ! This is one of my favorite hunting knives
This purchase is a Father’s Day Gift for my husband. Second purchase from you I’ve made this year. And once again exceeded my expectations. The blade, the design, the packaging, the prompt shipping, everything is amazing.

Si Yuus Maase for taking the time to leave a review and the kind words! Happy Fathers Day!
Randomly stumbled upon your station at the Hagat Mango Festival. All of your designs were impressive, as was your product knowledge and enthusiasm. The craftsmanship was amazing! Upon first glance, I had to have the Boojie… used it all day today and was stunned how useful its action was for single handed use while working. It was put through the wringer, even cutting Garlock gasket material. The profile was comfortable even with something so difficult to cut through. Thank you for making my newest favorite tool!
