Do you ever have one of those weeks

where you think, "Man, I gotta stay off the Exchange!" I think that was last week for me.

I think my knife funds have been frozen for a bit. But I will say, it's been nothing but a pleasure dealing with folks on the Exchange.

If it was on the Exchange, I think this was definitely it. Fit on the TNT is really nice —blade is mint, silky smooth deployment (after disassembly and applying mineral oil). On the finish, what didn't come through on the Exchange post was it looks like it had been Scotchbrited or something. The bead blasted finish feels really smoothed down (you can see a bit of this in the photo compared to the Waimea) and is shiny in some places. Since the blade is so pristine, I can only imagine someone tried to smooth out the bead blasting and that it's not from natural carry.

Not sure if I'll try to find someone to redo a bead blast or try to even out the finish myself, but either way not too concerned —I bought this TNT to carry and use!

5 CRKs in three weeks—and I thought I was sick! Just kidding, I'm sure you'll enjoy them. No CRKs in my collection. Yet.
