15+ years on the job with me and I snapped the tip this morning. Got careless.

After some traveling to and from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for work, I decided to stop in at DLT Trading earlier today. I walked out with this Mnandi and shortly after I left I realized the birthday on this knife is 9/11/19. Instant sentimental value.

So naturally, it needed to get out of its box for a fresh dose of freedom in Sheboygan, Wisconsin at the largest flagpole in the US.

The worst part of all of this is that I ripped my jeans at work early in the morning and totally forgot about the big hole on my rear end when I left workSo I apologize to the kind folks at J Jordan@DLT for my wardrobe malfunction earlier today!

Today I need to carry something with my formal dinner attire...
Maybe Hinderer XM-18 w/ 3.5 inch m390 blade... Looks more prettier and would freak out less people once deployed

Man that XM is nice... mind if I ask where you picked that up? Is it a custom or did I miss a run of M390 spear point triway sometime?
Was an exclusive sprint run at DLT Trading Gen 6 tri way XM-18 with M390 swedged spear point 3.5 inch blade and immediately bought another one - Gen 6 tri way full track sprint run, also with M390 blade - both knives tough to find nowadays.
I decided to spend around $300 more customizing it with blue titanium scales and all the other shiny nuts and pivots... Very sexy beautiful knife.
P.S. I love m390 and cpm 20cv blades. Those are my top 2. I did not want s35vn Hinderers.
Didn't know you had a bike, what is it? Need more pics
I’m ashamed to say it doesn’t get ridden nearly enough anymore. It’s a hard tail build by a local buddy, running a RevTech 125. Can’t find any good pics in my phone, so I guess I should snap some new ones. I’ll get some up here tomorrowDidn't know you had a bike, what is it? Need more pics
