Nice!
Did you wear the etching off the companion?
I can see you with a new Sydney or Paris model😁

Thanks! I actually sanded it off on a whim the other night, then put a coat of finish on it (Osmo). It wasn't too deep so it wasn't that difficult. While I was trying to not sand the emblem I got the idea to leave the mountains near the top, so that's why it looks worn off. Kind of a misty mountain look, which is fitting for me.

And you know me well, The Sydney model in particular has indeed caught my eye. I think I'm gonna hold off though and see if they just drop a standard model, then swap some other scales onto it that I have in mind. I think this Companion is going to become a favorite of mine. Besides the cool new package opener tool, it's also one of the only Victorinox SAK's to have both scissors and the fingernail file on the same knife.

Good idea looks like it is worn off.

Is the blade Elmax or something else? It’s got a modern/classic vibe going on.

Yes. Elmax. I actually have come to like Elmax in a bigger blade. Never thought I would. I have another larger blade in Elmax from TFK and it has held up extremely well on my backcountry trips.

Elmax is a great steel that I'd love to see in more knives. I still haven't tried S45VN but Larrin's ratings for its properties are identical to Elmax. I feel like that and SPY27 got some of the wind sucked out of their sails by MagnaCut...

Back to topic, maybe tomorrow's carry will be Elmax or MagnaCut...

It's pretty slick IMO. I haven't tried any clamshells with it yet, but when I first got it I tested it on a plastic water bottle and it made short work of slicing it into a spiral. A quick swipe across the plastic Amazon bags slices them right open, but then again so does any sharp blade. We'll see how it retains sharpness over time, but I reckon the serrations will help. I honestly haven't carried it a bunch until this week when I decided to pull it out of the drawer and mod it to my liking so it could get some pocket time.

Is that the Caly 3.5? I handled one a few weeks ago and again a few days after that. I figure one or two more trips to the local dealer should pretty much do it…

Yes, sir. It's a fantastic light little cutter, and with its deep carry clip (albeit a wire one, not my favorite Spyderco clip admittedly), it disappears in a pocket.
