I just read how u scored the 075. That was a nice find but nothing showed up on the dagger. Can I ask how u came across that beautiful thing?

Edit: I think I got it. It's the 205 koji hara dagger.

Just bought a Spartan Blades Enyo Inside Waist Band/Neck Knife Black. I might buy two more of these. They look like a great carry knife. I'll know whether I'll buy 2 more when I get it in hand in a few days.

I totally get the city concerns. Though the offensive / defensive role wasn't the primary basis behind them, it was definitely a secondary factor in the design thoughts of both the Tibo that TOPS makes for me and the SCHF55 that Schrade makes that I wanted for, among other reasons, to have available for my students to have as well made but affordable tools made for hard use, that they don't mind abusing when the need arises during advanced urban awareness and survival studies, and which don't cost an arm and a leg to replace if damaged or lost in the course of the studies. The last five years of my childhood I lived covertly on the streets of a few large cities as an orphan after my mother was murdered, and it taught me quite a few things about how I see tools for those applications. When I design for this area, a capacity for discretion and high portability are very important, and so is good function and a secure purchase. But then so is intent, which sometimes needs to be masked by innocuousness, for as much sheeple friendliness as possible for times when you need to portion foods for children, or yourself for that matter, or find it necessary to use a knife openly for any other reason in a public venue such as opening clam shell packaging which is so common these day. Two of the reasons I prefer small fixed blades over folders is that I have never had rough use loosen the blade on a full tang knife, and I have never had it cause the blade to close on my fingers. Two less points of stress and contention to have to deal with, and that doesn't even get into the hygiene part.

In my studies, sheeple-friendliness is more easily accomplished with smaller blades.

Hello! Can you tell me where to buy the TOPS Tibo grips that you have? Looking for them in black.

I was just talking to Joe earlier. He's still doing the micarta scales, solid and skeletonized, and thick and thin as far as I know. The G10 isn't available for now, too time consuming with the workload he has at the moment.

Thank you! The knife makes sense for me. I need something around 3 or smaller.

Thanks, I edc one myself. The design came from me whittling my way down to the size, geometry, and features of the smallest knife I'd want available to me, even in or perhaps especially a very deteriorated urban environment after several years of living covertly on streets of large cities as an orphaned teen back in the 80s.
