Decided to try another on the more affordable side of the scale.

Its not bad.. but if it doesn't click with me by the weekend.. ill return it. its super light and thin which is really nice.
I think that's the only upgraded handle I've seen that I like better than the basic blue. :cool:👍

Utilitarian Thursday:

You may recall I posted mid-month last about the branch that snapped off the top of our largest oak and put a couple pretty fair-sized dents in the lift gate of my Escape. It turns out that was but a third of the three-branch center of that 60-plus-footer's crown. About a week later the rest of that section snapped off in another windstorm, the fat end lodged in a crook bearing on a dead branch about 30 feet up and the branchy top trapped in another tree a bit over twenty feet away. We blocked off that parking spot and have been hoping the wind would shake the heavy end down some as it was too high and surrounded by branches to get a rope over. Well yesterday it dropped and my wife put a shackle on the eye end on one of the boat lines we kept and got it over the end.

I doubled up the line, ran it through one of the F350's tow hooks, tied a bowline to the shackle, and pulled the sucker out of the second tree no sweat. I went to take another pic and my wife was surprised I wasn't posing a knife in it, so you can just make her out in the background brandishing her 550-1 Grip.

For me, this was a Thick Three Rivers Thursday with a generous chunk of CTS-XHP forming the blade of my MEFP, RJ Martin designed Machine Flipper. The tactical-style, Spanto-ish blade is certainly not slicey, but with a deep hollow grind and RJ's personally sharpened convex edge it's a surprisingly excellent cutter. These are the first outdoor pics I've managed in a busy, mostly rainy week, so I'll likely overdo things a bit here.
