In anticipation of what USPS had promised today I figured I'd go large to start, pocketing my CTS204P Millie as I donned workwear and headed over to the shop to do detailing and drawer adjustment on the storage units that K and I will install this weekend. My new blade moved pretty quickly over the last couple of days through several waypoints and was ready for pickup by mid-morning. I've wanted one of these since before I bought one for K's birthday a couple years ago and found this baby in brand-new condition on the Exchange earlier in the week.

I'm sure not disappointed as I got an excellent specimen for a super price with wood that's a nice mix of dark and lighter hues. What surprises me is I actually don't hate the orange backspacer, though I may well do something about it down the road. The action definitely needs breaking in and I'll probably get through a hundred or so opening/closing cycles before I even give any thought to lubrication.

Just the ol’ 940 today. I just finished touching up the edge and now it is pretty much where I want it. (Push cutting with no catches)

Paper is good medium for testing sharpness of the edge because a fat wedgy blade won’t get stuck in it. Also obviously cutting paper is the first requirement to sharpening but that can only tell so much. The real test is the noise the knife make as it cuts the paper. Almost no noise = a sharp mutha of a knife.

That shit looks like a copper octopus.

Exactly my thoughts.

That looks pretty much like the ultimate Hinderer.
I wish more companies would do more Skinny knives

Edit: DRLyman Thank you man, that’s Muffin. She’s a girl actually but she would be thrilled to know you were paying attention to her. She’s one of those dogs that lives on attention.

What is the copper apparatus behind the knife with all the little tubes?

It's an air handling unit. I believe those are cooling lines.

That shit looks like a copper octopus.

...and here I was hoping it was a flux capacitor.

Muffin approves!
