Just a slight jump on tomorrow...

It's a beautiful sunny day.
......just wear a coat, and some gloves, and boots, and a hat.... And sun glasses!

How are you liking the SureTouch handle?

How are you liking the SureTouch handle?

I like it.
It's not as grippy as I thought it would be.
Seems to be better than micarta. I like micarta.

I haven't used it at all....
I'm curious .... will it hold up?
.....will it get sticky when exposed to heat?
....I'm guessing it's pretty durable.

I think it would make a great handle for a well used knife. I'd be interested in others.

You have one.
What's your thoughts so far?

A Gen 5 for today's Fixed Blade Friday...

I probably showed this before, or the other one just like it.

These were made for employees back when the Ron Hood knives were in production.

I ran down to the hardware store and bought their last 119 that was still at last year's price. I don't really need this knife...but you know...and I had a coupon.

Cool deal, and “ I have a coupon” is what I like to say whenever I find a bargain.

The mini alpha is a great little knife. That’s a nice looking one.

A trio of 119's, magnacut, 420hc, and 3V.

The barrel nut plug is almost invisible on this one. I tried to take a photo of it, but failed.

So many beautiful fixed blades today! Mine is a little more pedestrian. This is from back when I first got it.

Nothing pedestrian there!

The Gen 5 blade is so well designed. The handle never fit me well though. With a more substantial/ergonomic handle, this could be a really nice hunting knife for me.

I find the 113 more user friendly for hunting.
I think the Gen 5 is better looking.
