Thank you for your kind words! I'll try to take more photographs of the city.

On the way home from work.

Our first hike with the granddaughters was an easy trail to a nearby waterfall on Monday. Not gonna lie, it kicked my ass. Chronologically, I’m 56….but between joint replacements, a knee that refuses to bend and years of abuse, I tend to guesstimate my physiological age at about 106.

But hey, I’m a warrior and an ex athlete, so I’m calling it a huge win since I didn’t face-plant even once.

Good video. The nub contact bothered me on the Shaman. The bottom part of the choil also forced an uncomfortable fit for my hand. The Bodacious dodges both of those issues. I like a slightly thinner blade and a flat spine transition is good too. So that makes the Bodacious tempting. If it either cost less, used a wire clip, or ran a more novel steel; it would be an easy choice.

That said, I'll definitely be picking up a Sage 5 in SPY27.

Thanks brother 👊🏼! Yeah, there’s a lot of positives going for the Bodacious. Hopefully they’ll make variations with different steels and not be too much more than what the base model is currently going for 🤔 I truly love me some Spyderco, but their retail prices are starting to make me question my purchasing decisions 😂

Thank you!
It seems I have made my choice. The Bodacious feels more thoughtful. I like it when my hand is as close to the cutting edge as possible.

Appreciate you watching 🙏🏼! I’ve realized that I’ve become so used to Spydercos with finger choils (Manix 2, PM2, Shaman, Military) that it truly is refreshing when they drop a model that allows the user to leverage the entire blade’s cutting edge. Let us know your thoughts when you’ve had a chance to bond with yours 🍻

Love the blade profile on the bottom knife, may I trouble you for the model/maker?
 
Man, these weeks are going by sooo fast! Just in general, time seems to be just whipping passed me.

Got the well carried, well used, and well-loved small Sebenza 21 with me today. I tried a new thing last night, instead of using loctite on the few troublesome pivots I have that always work their way out (I'm pretty sure everyone who has a decent accumulation of knives has these, seems to be about 1 in 10 knives, no matter what price category they're in [not that it's a terrible thing]), I tried using Teflon Tape. It's a tip from Les George that I heard through the grapevine, and turns out (so far) that it works great! It's super crazy nice not having to hurry up and get the pivot tension just right, and then waiting 24 hours for it to dry, and hoping that the action isn't different than how you remembered it.

By the way, I won this knife in a raffle a year ago and didn't know who modded it. Someone messaged me on Instagram because he realized that I have a few of his old knives. He said that this was the first opening hole he ever put on a Sebenza (or maybe knife at all), and that he was super worried about messing up the heat treatment with power tools, so he did the entire job by hand with diamond files, working his way out from the thumbstud hole. I thought that was a pretty nifty fact. Have a good day fellas/felletes!
