That's a good looking pairing for summer

This week is about UGLY. Two of my ugliest knives: Kizer Horn in N690 and SRM 9202-GW (imaginative naming there) in D2. Both are imperfect beasts (tricky liner lock on the Kizer and a bronze and teflon washer pairing on the SRM pivot) but with a little maintenance and love they work just fine. I especially like the Wharncliffe on the Kizer. One of my favorite blades among my small collection. But that Micarta is plug ugly LOL.

I really couldn’t be any happier then I am right now!!!!! I laughed so hard I woke up my wife and dogs…A small 31; my “Dedicated Travel Knife”….or “DTK” for short.
And hold the phone. Did I just coin a new term?!?? I think I did. I think “DTK” is a brand new, 100% original acronym being put into play for the first time ever right here, right now….on page 5217 of this thread…by yours truly, @Zeroedin
Holy crap! This is huge!
I can see it now; the term will take the knife world by storm. Heck, the concept itself will probably reshape the landscape of the knife industry. “DTK” will soon be as common as “EDC”…..and makers will be racing to bring “Dedicated Travel Knives” to market.
This, my friends, shall be my legacy….my gift to the knife world, my contribution to the industry.
Or maybe, just maybe…..this is a prime example of why one shouldn’t be posting on a “lit” Friday night.

Love my GR2! It’s my winter work bag. I just last week switched back to the GR1 for summer.
