On my way to see modest mouse!!!!
Hopefully this sak makes it past the gate.
After today I can die a happy man.
That is fantastic, probably one of my favorite bands ever, of all time, ever! Isaac Brock is a mad man.

Brad Zinker makes an incredible knife...very light though rock solid, and never lock stick. He was one of the first makers I know of to use bearings, and his knives operate perfectly. This one has a 5 inch blade, and weights 3.8 ounces! (Bottom knife is a Simeon) :thumbup:

The Diskin is nice, but I'm interested in the guitar. Looks like a Martin D-15M? If it is, how do you like it?

Close!
It's a 00-15M, and it's a great guitar. Since it's a 00, it's much smaller than a Dreadnought, so it's a nice little guitar for kicking back on the porch playin some blues. It's very warm with rich bass, and the highs really "snap" when you fingerpick. It's not really for the whole singer-songwriter thing IMO, strumming chords is kind of muddy when mixed with vocals, but for some blues, it's perfect:thumbup: If you like to strum, stick to Dreadnoughts.
Same guitar, different knife.

Absolutely amazing!
This thing still looks brand new after a lot of cutting; the DLC coating keeps the mirror finish looking pristine. No scratches whatsoever!
Any rumors about these being hard to sharpen are completely false! I dropped mine tip-first on a socket wrench the other day, which caused the tip to dull. After about 10 minutes on 2000 grit sandpaper, it was sharper than ever!
These are pricey, but I feel that they are worth every penny. The Rockstead Higo is like the exotic Japanese sister of a Sebenza 21. Tight tolerances, pivot bushings, minimal points of contact, excellent blade geometry...but much sexier, and with more thought put into the blade itself. The Honzukuri grind is something to be appreciated.
Hands down, the best knife I own!

That's really cool. Glad to hear you are cutting stuff with it! Most of them are used to fill up shelf space. Digging the wood handle on this one.
