Love the scales. Work of art I’d be proud to carry.
Thanks, im very happy how it turned out. The work was done by Sean CampbellLove the scales. Work of art I’d be proud to carry.
Wow. Awesome tool "bag". Even see the good ole Ugly's reference.Carrying this ol' beater while I start prepping my step-son's graduation/Christmas gift(s)...
Definitely don't want a lack of his own tools to ever be the reason he can't get his foot in the door somewhere when he starts looking for real work.

I think that's it, and I think he's off to a pretty solid start to tackle nearly any job thrown at him in an industrial/robotics maintenance position... Once he starts working he can pick up any specialty tools or specifics along the way.
Did I miss anything?
(Won't be buying any new knives for a while, that's for sure)
So they’re after market scales for your Strider knife?
no those aren’t aftermarket, it was carved and hand done on the stock scales by Sean. Hardware was blacken by him too. The finish is called Ugly Groot.So they’re after market scales for your Strider knife?I had gone to the Strider website immediately to look for similar knives.
It is definitely a handy resource to keep around.Wow. Awesome tool "bag". Even see the good ole Ugly's reference.
Yes, it is a handy reference. It contains a lot of items other than just ohms law. I had one close by when I worked on my tools.It is definitely a handy resource to keep around.
Kid is graduating a "mechatronics" program, and as it would just so happen, I am currently an industrial maintenance tech, so I have a pretty good idea of what basic tools he'll use frequently in the field, even most of the ones that he would have never thought of going in on day 1, (like a rubber dead blow hammer and snap ring pliers)...
