On the way, I photographed two tenement houses.

I chose these houses not by chance. They were built by two of the largest architects of St. Petersburg of the late nineteenth - early twentieth centuries. These people built dozens of houses, temples, state buildings in the city. And the Soviet government got rid of both of them. In 1918, Nikonov died, and Lidval was forced to flee to Sweden so that he would not be shot. And that's probably all you need to know about this country.

That’s an awesome Zinker.
Thank you. Picked it up from Brad at the Blade Show this year. I love the pattern and how light this knife feels for its size. He also seems to pack a lot of blade in compared to handle size, which I love. This one does have some lock stick that takes a little away from it, and the action isn’t as smooth as some others. The scales and Damascus are awesome to me, and with Brad’s outstanding attention to detail, overall this is a great knife.
