Acquisitions - September 2026

Very nice 👍
Did you already use it?
I got one with the same new platinum fibers but I had to return it, use it twice and it looses to many fibers…hopefully you will not have this issue.
It was beautiful, with Patriot handle, and I really like this new knot.

Thank you!

I used it today-seems to be a lottery.

Chubby 1 platinum was fine.

Duke 3 platinum shed about a dozen on first use.

Chubby 2 platinum was just fine as well.

I’m not too concerned. If the Duke 3 falls apart it falls apart, and I’ll put something else in it. I think they all compare favorably against my 21 and 23mm STF. Less floppy I think. To me they feel more dense, although I should probably try a 25mm STF at some point.

Tough to put my finger on why I like them better, but I do.
