Thanks, B, glad you like it. I used to have the exact reverse of that scheme on my blue Delica with a plain orange cord, but altered that one to something different though similar with red/white patterned Desert Heat when I re-tied after installing the Lynch clips. You saw that one along with the Endura a few pages back.

Thank you. I couldn’t pass it up.
Details…
Made by our very own wajgy wajgy
Name: Fiscal
1 15/16” blade length
5/32” blade thickness at spine
Flat to V grind
5 1/4” overall
Elmax core
Obsidian textured handle

This is the perfect 5th pocket fixed scalpel. It’s pretty thin profile but has a great 3 finger grip. The finish is well done. Very well done. Came sharp as a scalpel and cuts like one. It’s good for all the little tasks, but wouldn’t fare well on cardboard due to the short blade. Arrives with a well done leather neck sheath. I did take the string off for 5th pocket carry.

Overall I’m very happy with it and I now have a “scalpel” type fixed blade in my user rotation. You can’t go wrong with one of these little beauties.

I don't have any Spyderco Knives. How do you like the FRN scales? Are they durable? That's the one thing that steers me away from Spyderco. I know they make other models with different handle scales. Out of curiosity do they Flex? Thank you in advance for the information

Given the opportunity , you most likely will like the durability and grip. They do give the appearance of cheap, far from it. I personally have as much faith in the FRN as I do G10
 
It's been an odd couple days here, the weather mild with some sun the last few, then yesterday turning to light rain in the afternoon, then heavier in the evening. I drove home from one of our practice gyms around 8:30 last night in a cold, pouring rain after presenting our club's 7th grade boys with their regular season and playoff champion T-shirts. The temperature was quickly dropping and, looking out the back slider a bit later, I was surprised to see the deck and ground covered in an icy encrustation of frozen rain.

It was getting colder in the house, as we hadn't burned for a couple days, and our LP, hot-air furnace wouldn't come on. After flipping its power switch off and on, it tried to start but clicked off after a tiny burst of blue. I read a bunch online, took off the upper panel, tried a few different things, but nothing worked. That led to basically an all-nighter for me after J started a fire with what little wood we had at hand indoors. I made a couple slippery trips in the dark, freezing cold to the woodshed, and stoked the fire every hour until dozing off for a couple at 5 AM, building up the heat in our masonry mass to hold the temp inside.

Texting around 7:30 found my plumbing/heating guy off-Cape so I called our local LP supplier's emergency service and had a tech here within an hour. He had no luck inside the unit either, but on a hunch poured warm water on the exterior propane regulators and, Voila!, the furnace fired right up on the first try. It seems we had a perfect storm of ice and temp drop which, combined with the wicked cold nature of converting LP to gas, froze one or both of the regulators, choking off the gas supply.

Anyway, I've got a big nap coming this afternoon in our nicely warm house, but in the meantime have managed a few pics of today's carry to post in this thread and elsewhere.
