Morning. I only have a couple of knives with < 2% chrome. This one Paul made in Spicy White. Normally this one is in my nightstand next to my N-frame.

If I remember right, that Fulltrack was my first purchase on the Exchange here. At a time (2018) when people routinely gave a ~$100 discount from MSRP to others on BF. Scalping was rare.

I like Loveless pattern knives and the clip point Utility feels stabby and useful for everything. At the Village of Knives show last weekend in Little Valley I was carrying my Bob Dozier Loveless Utility in stag, so it must be fate I was able to purchase a mini-version from Bob Appleby. It runs about 75% of the Loveless original size with a 3” CPM154 blade and great stag scales. Out of all the knives he had available, it was the only one on the table that he didn’t previously post any pics of, again, fate!

Matthew Gregory Matthew Gregory I talked with Bob Appleby for an easy hour or so, he was awesome and had some great stories of his dealings with shivs in prison!

(He was a guard everyone, not an enforcer for a gang!)

(Calvin Richardson's Steadfast in A8mod; "The Steadfast is my take on the field knife. It's equally at home in the woods, used for survival tasks, on your hip while out hunting, or in self-defense").

Compared to the UF2 - similar but different:

Everyone in the wtg Facebook group really likes that blade. Seems like a good one.

I've been really impressed with Work Tuff Gear (wtg) knives. Good bang for your buck.

Nice score! He does wicked clean work. A thoughtful, fastidious maker. He’s also incredibly flexible in his style - flows in and out of so many knife genres. Really, an incredible maker, and a good guy.

More appropriate with cats.

One that made me laugh;

The difference between dogs and cats:

Dogs
This person feeds me, looks after me, and constantly cares for me. They must be a God!

Cats
This person feeds me, looks after me, and constantly cares for me. I must be a God!

How very true.

Dogs are more loyal with undying devotion.

Cats are loyal, and still will remain faithful, but independent in their own way.

Each are a breed and personality upon their own.

Even though I love both, the dog and I have a bonding like no other.

There are exceptions to each of course.

JMHO
