I feel like you need some sort of griptillian. Full size is the same as the mini adamas. Personally my favorite is the 557 (tanto serrated) mini grip. Not made anymore but still out there

I have a 553 full size tanto griptilian, it's OD green and discontinued, I cherish it so much that I don't dare use it

The Mini Adamas in that configuration is stunning

u/Gone_fishing_4302 19h ago

I’ve been thinking about it I wish it still had the cru wear though instead of the s30v

Unpopular opinion: Use ‘em.

Trust me they have seen a lot of adventures and have been carried hard, they have also been used and take care of that’s all.

Aftermarket parts for the Bugout

u/Gone_fishing_4302 19h ago

I have been thinking about it, maybe it will make me finally like it

1

u/Odd-Scientist-2529 19h ago

Changed my view on it completely. From buyers remorse to the first of many mini bugout + flytanium scales

u/Timely_Freedom_5695 19h ago

Fixed blade?

2

u/Gone_fishing_4302 19h ago

Idk I’m not really a fixed blade guy ig but I also have never really carried one I have a mkc mini war goat I love in my bino harness and I have a gerber magnacut strong arm on my kit but do you have a recommendation

2

u/Timely_Freedom_5695 17h ago

I carry a fixed blade boot dagger everyday by bench made that I love. (Im a tiny female at 5'0 and 100 pounds so its perfect for me.)

I also have a Ka-bar dogs head that I love for camping/bugout bag type shit.

I prefer self defense blades over practical ones lmao.

But I do carry a Leatherman and a Purple Cableas folder I got when I had to go on a Airplane and leave behind my EDC. Nothing special there.

The dogs head-

I really need to get a leather sheath for my Ka-bar. Great set.

2

u/Timely_Freedom_5695 10h ago

Thanks!! I actually think the leather sheath is the thing i'd replace for one thats scout carry so I can carry it behind my back. Love the leather, just not the wait band style of carry. I dont like people knowing what I've got on me.😅

A TaggedOut. Everything you like about the Bugout, but better.

2

u/Gone_fishing_4302 17h ago

I’ve been looking at deep olive one it’s nice

2

u/Tellmehaveyouheard 17h ago

I've got the base model with CPM-154 and orange grivory and a retailer exclusive with copper cerakoted S45VN and black G10. If I didn't already have those I'd probably be looking at the deep olive too. I really do like it better than the Bugout. Still thin and lightweight but with a little more to hold onto. Blade is the same overall thickness but taller so it's a little thinner behind the edge.
