My dad's not really a knife guy, but he knows I am and the fact that he gave me this little no-name multi-tool for Father's Day really warmed my heart. I am now carrying it with PRIDE, along with my ZT 0801.
Very nice John! It's the gesture that counts.
I am carrying my Kershaw Cryo which was the first knife I ever attempted to do any mods to. It didn't turn out too bad, but I have learned a lot since then. Also have my olive green SAK cadet.

BladeCo comes through again! The blackwash is perfect and I like the forward choil more than I thought I would. The blade was polished after the acid stonewash and it is reflecting light making the finish looks splotchy in the second photo. Heavy detent on this one but crazy smooth and fast as always!

Thanks, brother! And I couldn't agree more. I'm gonna try and sharpen the blade when I get home from work today.
Oh and that relic'd Cryo looks great! :thumbup:
What did you do to it? Blast the scales? Bronze the hardware? I really like it!

Yep, stonewashed the handle scales and heat colored the hardware. Some of the screws came out really well and some of them didn't. The pivot screw wouldn't color at all.

Great Ceasar's ghost! I love the sheeps foot blade on your Curtiss Jesse, and the acid wash looks great as well. Very nice!

No worries, Erik! I think it came out great. Probably the best looking Cryo I've seen! I love the look of old, worn metal.

Dude, I would throw that tool in my bag and have it with me every day without a second's hesitation. That's great that your father was thinking of your hobbies!

I like it! My Cryo II is one of favorite knives, especially considering how inexpensive it is.

Wow, that is a gorgeous knife. It is really reminiscent of my Insingo's blade, which has turned out to be one of my absolute favorites.

Thanks guys!
May be "the one"
GASP!!! Really though... I love CRK's insingo shape so much so that I had Michael Morris make and Insingo-esque friction folder. The modified sheepsfoot / wharncliffe whatever is the best blade shape for my EDC uses. I have a small and large Insingo too, but if CRK made a flipper, it would be this

I can definitely say that I'd love to have a knife like yours in my hands one day. The Insingo's blade is so easy to sharpen, it's ridiculous. It came "sharpish" and so when I got it, a few strokes on the Sharpmaker, and it would shave hair with zero effort.

Thanks, brother! Rest assured this little dude will be in my pocket every damn day.
And I gotta tell you, so far the CRK bug hasn't bit me but I must say that is a classy looking blade you have there! I'm really digging the inlays.

What can I say? The best times are when I'm able to enjoy multiple interests of mine at once! You know, it's funny. My wife laughed and/or rolled her eyes the first few times she saw me taking a "knife pic" for this thread. Then I actually showed her the thread and a bunch of the pics I'd taken and/or contributed. Nowadays she's giving me advice, or "Let me see how that was laid out." My wife is the bestest. :thumbup:
