Yeah that's terrible, it was always a concern when our old place backed on to a bush reserve.
Sadly we've had the first human fatality by a brown snake in awhile in Victoria.

Thanks mate, it's just part of living where we do. I've made some traps and set them around the place so hopefully we can reduce some of their numbers and you get to see some sweet snake skin knife sheaths.

View attachment 2392460Loving this Lionsteel Gitano as a stainless fancy slipjoint. It is almost like a locking knife, like a Douk Douk. Like a modern, stainless answer to my GEC. Also, the blade feels so large for the total package, I love it. Love the curves. Just want a polished bolster. May even get a CF or G10 to match my Espada XL more.
Also been loving this Yojumbo in M4, just wonderful and better FnF than my first one. Good pair to my Cruwear Yo2. I wanna make the wood darker. I did oil it but I should probably use a little varnish.
The Minichamp I - missing some of the tools of the new one but that is okay! Has plenty and is the only 54mm to truly stack up to a 74 in my head.
That GB Advocate must give me what most people like about Ti Framelocks which I mostly find boring, actually was gonna sell the knife at first before I fell in love and rescinded the knife. Love the grind, the action is beautiful. I don't like this modern feel on new knives mostly but this is great.
My little prybar is good to have around to not even worry about having to pry with a knife. Love it, cheap as hell and tough, USA made. These 150 dollar prybars... No way! I used this once to hop directly out of a Lyft and jimmy my window when I forgot my keys once, must have looked funny. But why risk a knife? The thing is weightless and a keychain. Just took off my P4 Squirt, G10 Rambler and USB Boker for consideration of weight the other day.

Kabar Wrench knife
Alox SAK with that spike and saw would be my holy grail hammocking knife!
I was lucky I bought it when I did. The purchase price that I thought was so ridiculous is now 2 or 3 X higher a few years later.

Interesting name on that fixed blade...
Sorry if I spoil the party but Dick is a German brand and means thick, chubby.
But a Dick and a SAK is funny and seems to be a perfect match
