Was going through drawers and closets, garage, workshop, etc, found this venerable guy. I'm terrible at sharpening, and it's been resharpen so many times it's no longer a tanto. It's my oldest modern, I bought in 1999. $77.00 w/ tax. Money from my 20th birthday.

In anticipation of the arrival of a Shiro 100NS Tabargan tomorrow I carried my trusty old Turtle today. I stepped outside to snap a couple pics just as it began to rain.

You're killing me with these awesome pictures of the AD-10. I think this could be my first cold steel.

It’s the best Cold Steel I’ve ever experienced. The fit and finish is better than the 4-MAX.
If you like big folders, you might get two.

And that would be a very good choice

Everytime i see that beautiful tall hollow grind it makes me want one too but the weight holds me back. I do love cold steels hollow grinds.

Got a screaming deal on some G10 scales so out came the Rat for an upgrade. Nice grippiness now and im hoping to drop a half oz or so with some skelotonizing of the liners when i have access to a drill press and good bits next week.

Nice. But I gotta say, they call the new one Tabargan? Sounds like a toboggan from the dollar store. Just saying.

Shiros are too rich for my blood, but I enjoy seeing them and admiring from afar.

The Tabargan is one of the earliest Shiro models and has been long discontinued. This one that's arriving today must be from the beginning of the run with its un-contoured G10 scales and 440C steel--very old school and is coming at about half the cost of the current version of the older F95T I pictured. Shiros indeed come very dearly but I've worked to stay well short of retail on those I've acquired--all of them, even the two brand new ones, purchased here on the Exchange or from private deals.

I love seeing that Arius of yours, Kurt--it's a gorgeous knife and the nicest of those I've seen. One with those features is on my very short list to acquire, but my current MO is to trade into or build up the PP acct from sales before pulling the trigger on any higher-value piece--a taste of frugality here in my dotage.
