    I’d have to say I like the look of the Rift better. I don’t have one, but she’s a beauty.

    Is that a limited edition 950? The handle scales look awesome! I’ll have to agree with thecajunblaze on this one.

    @thecajunblaze The Rift is a much more refined looking knife. The Mini 8 is a “get straight to business” no nonsense knife.

    @janevski It’s the standard 950, nothing limited here :) The G10 scales are great. I’ve been carrying it a lot lately.

    Rift looks a bit bulky. I love Horseman so much.
