The only thing that ever kept me from pulling the trigger on a Sonora was the "not quite slicey thin" grind on the original blades. I'm just not the biggest fan of the tip profile, but thankfully, MachineWise won me over when they offered the custom hand ground, regrind blades. I am so happy that I finally got one! This knife is an absolute joy to fidget with. The action is just so perfectly dialed in. Having around 300 knives in my collection, with many of them being higher end than the Sonora, it's hard for me to get excited about a knife nowadays, but my hat's off to MachineWise for creating a truly enjoyable blade.
