Oh ok nice! I thought I recognized that stud. That's cool you're experimenting with what works best for ya. That one with the wave you posted right after your response is super badass too.That one is a benchmade adamas thumbstud. I've been experimenting with what's most comfortable.
Hollow. As far as I'm concerned, Medford does some of the most awesome hollow grinds.Chisel grind?

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.
