Pro tip...when staying in a hotel that doesn't have any glasses in the room, the bottom half of a free water bottle can double as a wine glass.

Really enjoying the scenery lately and the way you combine like colored items to make a interesting photo.

Thanks for the kind words, sir.

… I upgraded my phone recently and have been working to get back in a camera groove with the new hardware.

Today marks 31 days with my Native 5. It was a good month and between this and my Delica I think I have found a new fondness for lock backs.

My whole family caught Covid so I was monkeying around with some picture ideas....



P.s. this round of Covid hits hard and fast but also seems to part quickly.

I have the same Shirogorov, and the micarta scales on the show side have already worn smooth and turned darker green with minimal carry. It was actually looking splotchy so I had to start hand rubbing the micarta to even out to color and texture. I have not added any preservative, oil, or treatment to the scales; but now they feel hard like stone (like my vintage Spyderco micarta).

I’ve carried mine a bit, but the micarta hasn’t really changed? I’ve made the mistake of oiling micarta with a bit of mineral oil and I’ll never make that mistake again.

I really like canvas Micarta, but it picks up oil from my hands, darkens and can become splotchy. Before the canvas turns too much I wash it with warm water, bar soap, and a medium stiff nail brush, rinsing thoroughly and using a hair dryer on medium to lose all the water inside and out. That brings it back most all the way to new. No oiling Micarta for me either.

You put it in a glass?

It is in a glass. Just because the glass is bottle size does not matter

In my case of the Shirogorov, the 3D textured micarta compressed into a solid hard and smooth block of micarta. It's not discoloration. The light grey/green micarta did darken up in the process, but evenly. However, it was compressing unevenly and changing color as it compressed, so I had to rub it down and squish it all down to even out the color and texture. I in fact burnished the micarta with my bare hands.
