I ordered the SSK Moki Kronos ANZ433 from Mark a couple weeks ago, but it was missing it's ANZ533 little brother.
I should have ordered the pair, but had a momentary lapse of reason.
My neighbor saw it, and wanted me to order the pair for him, and get the the smaller 533 for myself also.
The three Mokis came yesterday, and Mark bombed my wife with "The Lipstick" knife,
Mark, the wife loves it, and said to tell you that it is her shade And Many thanks
Thanks also to my neighbor Frank! He has proudly displayed his SSK Mokis in his showcase.

Tickles me pink Tony. I do hope your wife enjoys that handy little concealed carry knife, could come in handy for her in a whole host of ways.
Those Moki’s are truly beautiful knives and they look best in a group. Congrats, Hope the neighbor likes his so much another neighbor wants them and so on.

Great pair, Tony! Looks like SSK Mark is a bad influence on your addiction. Of course, I have first hand knowledge of that influence from all those beauties he has posted in the past.

Today's Mail Call is a KnifeAddictBomb ... ACSB Moki Kronos ANZ533 ... pictured secondly with it's big brother...
Many thanks Kevin! Mark has influenced me greatly in my Japan addiction, and now you are on the other shoulder!

[ken98k]

Wow Ken nice K-bar I've never see one like that ::groove::made in USA???? What does it have for a sheath???

Not sure how I missed your post. But to answer your question, yes American made. The sheath is very slim and works very well in the chest pocket of my bib overalls, but it does leave very light scratches on the blade.

Congrats buddy, man oh man that is an incredible bomb. One of my faves you lucky man. Wow what a nice one Knifeaddict. Hats off to the both of you. RIP roaring. Wow.


This one just came, if I didn't know better I would say built in the same factory as Rose crafts and it has no flaws that I can find. The walk and talk is fabulous, transitions, action smooth, decent bone and love the EZO and long pull on both sides. I wish every slip had it on both sides. Made by QSP China. C. Risner exclusive.

Ivoryman, that's a beauty! I remember the old folks used to say, "a good 'yeller' handled knife ain't as easy to lose as them others!"
I've been fishin' in the shallow end of the bay as usual and came up with an international group of knives the last few days:

I've been seeing the Douk Douk knives for years and never thought much about them, now I'm the proud owner of one for $4.25 + shipping.
I noticed a Victorinox Officer Suisse and got it for $6.00. Funny thing, I don't care too much for the Swiss Army knives but have several of them, one setting on my desk proves to be very useful from time to time. The one I bid on had a saw blade, pretty neat I thought. Well it came in the mail last week and I looked it over and said this isn't the knife I bid on, there is no saw blade, it's just like the one on my desk. I rolled it around and noticed what I thought to be a liner turned out to be the saw blade. Back at the house, I discovered I also had a saw blade on the one on my desk. I've had it for years and never paid enough attention to it to discover the saw. The main spear point, the scissors and the tweezers were the only blades I've used. Kinda feel like a dummy.
Then there was Queen Big Chief for cheap, why did I want it, already have several of them?
Diagnose me as an accumulator who still usually totes a big stockman or trapper.

Nice group TreeFarmer! Think I need to check my SAKs for a saw blade.

Moki knives are incredible

Regretted letting it go the second I did
Awesome generosity!

Pretty sure that's the same size Douk Douk I have. Just enough knife to get the job done, and it's tough as nails. For me, I prefer the Douk Douk to the more famous Opinel. The German Mercators are also great tough, but basic knives.

I've got quite a few SAKs with a similar blade selection---they do what I need with no extra junk.

I have both an old #45 and a #45EO (easy open w/ bail) of late '90s vintage. In my opinion, they're light, but tough workhorses--and great fishing knives. Not clunky or bulky at all, unlike most tactical folders with the same blade length. The half-stop and strong snap means no need for a lock. Also, the little nylon belt holsters most AA Mini Maglites come with make a perfect sheath. Prices have crept up--a lot. I paid around $25 for the EO, and I think I traded a Delrin-handled Ontario/Queen hawkbill for the older #45 (and that didn't cost me much--came in a lot). Pretty sure average last time I checked was double that.

Cool knife, Tim, and I love the background scenery!

Nice set!

I have the Miming that I use as a steak knife and parer. Gotta have the best ergonomics of any knife I've got in the block. Been looking for more of them--namely those like the Shorty and Pixie that have more use as general-purpose utility knives. I seem to recall Gerber marketed the Pixie as a Bird and Trout, even though it's main use was as a steak knife. Noticed more than a few Pixies cheap on eBay, so I don't see why I shouldn't buy a few and make my own sheaths. As hunting knives, they're hard to find, especially with original sheaths. As kitchen knives--very affordable. Found a set that included the French Chef, Durendal, and Pixie at a price I could afford. The French Chef should work better for chopping and general use than the big Henckels that I really ought to sell--while the Pixie and Durendal are going to be fishing knives. . I mostly just use a Dexter-Russell Gadsden skinner in the kitchen.
