Great pic and carry set as usual, K! I had to search that knife, starting by scrolling through WE's product pages, to find that bar along the top was indeed the locking mechanism and then following up to see how it operated. How's that spine clip work out, especially for tip up, as it strikes me it would tend to turn in pocket with the blade spine facing forwards.

Thank you, sir.
Yes, the WE (SNECX) Vision R. I was gladly turned on to this one by our friendly neighborhood enabler Sharp & Fiery Sharp & Fiery
TBH its a love/hate relationship with this one. Lots of good here, slim profile, great blade, cool lock... if it wasn't for that clip.
Its not terrible, but I'm not a fan of the clip for the exact reason you mentioned.
 
Let's continue today's adventures. After work, I drove to Tkachi Street. For more than a hundred years, the largest weaving factory in St. Petersburg was located here. Now destroyed. But that's not what's interesting.

The red building in the photo is the first city hostel for workers in Russia. 1874-75 years of construction. For 15-20% of the salary, the worker received a bed in a room. They lived 3-4 people in one room. The first communist revolutionaries began their activities here. Here, in 1898, the largest clash between the workers and the police took place at that time.

After the revolution, the factory became the property of the state and the hostel too. And in 1928, a new residential area was built for the workers of the weaving factory on the same street.

Yellow buildings in the photo. And all the working families were able to get their own apartments.

For the same 15-20% of wages. And after 25 years, the apartment became the property of the family.

Separately, I will write that the yellow houses were built in my favorite architectural style - constructivism. :)

Cool pics as always. It is interesting to see the images you post here, from a country that most of us would never be able to visit. I was lucky enough to be able to travel when I was younger, not to Russia unfortunately. I found much of the older European towns and structures to be very interesting, beautiful really.
