Tuesday was a good day for knives. UPS and the postman both dropped off packages, 1 from an Ebay auction and 1 from New Graham.

~ Benchmade 450 Terzuola Park Avenue – This is a knife I’ve wanted for a long time and could never find. Last week I was on Ebay and decided to search for this knife, never expecting to find it. Well, there was one for sale. Put in a few bids, watched and hoped I wouldn’t picked off in the closing seconds. Now I’m the proud owner. This knife is really a slick little package. Nice smooth aluminum handles, lightweight but still sturdy. The BC1 coating on the blade looks different from various angles. I don’t have many coated blades but I like this one.




~ Benchmade 210 Snody Activator – I’d always liked the look of the knife, but before I got into owning some neck knives and small fixed blades I hadn’t gone for it. The handle on this model fits just right for my hand. A bit odd at first to have a handful of handle and then the blade is just over 2”, but it’s a convenient size for me. Fit & finish is excellent, very solid.




~ Spyderco Tasman Salt – Finally got a plain edge Spydie hawkbill. This is one sharp mother. Spydercos are always wicked sharp out of the box, but this H1 has an edge that really bites in. A cool little knife, though I guess little is a relative term since it’s the largest of the 3 shown here.
