Brought my Opinel no. 8 specifically for slicing cheeses and meat to make mini-sandwiches with my girlfriend today, wonderful time. We had three Spanish cheese samplings and some special fancy British cheddar with summer sausage in between crackers, Italian soda, and apples, with Blood Orange dark chocolate from the Ghiradhelli factory in SF! The no.8 makes me feel traditional and it's honestly a great knife, reminds me of why I love Opinel whenever I carry one. Same cutting area as a PM2 for 1/10 price, and half the weight, and no cutting slouch, ha. Not knocking PM2 as I have three, and these ain't as fancy, but workable, and I'll never scoff at an Opinel, and will buy, love and support them for life. Need a no. 13 just to have a bigger folding knife than my Espada XL and for the BBQ.

Of course I keep the Yojumbo because I'm not stupid and I lost my OC spray in a parking lot and need more, useful blade shape too! And, just look how cool that looks... Did not buy for aesthetic, just happens to be cool. First all black "murdered out" lol, Spydie, I think. Even the black hardware copper REX 45 PM2 excusive I have has a shiny comp lock tab, not this one. Clean. I hear wharncliffes prove useful in utility, too.

Brought the OT as my pocket-whittler cause law's weird about fixed blades here. It's a four bladed congress-peanut. I love yellow Delrin. Loving my Wingman that I won in the BF giveaway! It's the best multitool I could ask for! Does anyone know what the little cut outs in all the tools are for?

Opinel for the win!! I have to say, with those boots, you may not need the pepper spray. You should check out Gripfast when you're ready for your next pair. I found them to be even burlier than Docs.
 
So I need to make a new rule for myself that I'm not allowed to sell knives that I really enjoyed carrying and using even if that feeling passes.

I sold and bought a Bugout and now a Para 3... I really missed my Maxamet Para 3 but I really wanted some K390 in a package I want to daily carry so here it is...

This one arrived perfectly centered and great action. I really just missed the feel of the Para 3. I know the blade isn't as long as it could be or the blade stock could be thinner but there is just something I love about this knife. Really excited and happy to have one back in the collection.

P.s. Sorry for the artsy photo but I was just trying out a new feature I found on my phone.
 
Had to take the day off and take the wife into the ER this morning at 5am. (She’s doing ok). Just been lounging around the house and backyard today keeping the boys out of moms hair so she can rest. Had these two small ones in my pants today.

Thank you for the boots suggestion! I will be checking Gripfast out. I am new to "work-wear", haha. Have been buying Docs since I was like 13, I am 25 now and I have noticed that the build quality may not be as trustworthy as in the past, presumably because of the fashion overtaking the work-boot thing. To me, I love the look AND the function, much like my Yojumbo there. I love the look of 'em, fits me perfectly as I'm a punk/metal person, they're durable boots, and they are justifiable means of self-defense. But I also want quality working steel-toe boots, I've had Docs fall apart from walkin' in the rain.

those what they call the solovairs, now? if so yep those are good and made in England still and better than the modern English made docs.

that company used to make docs for dr marten, for awhile long ago......I seem to remember.....
