Grabbed this super sharp Cheburkov this morning. Ten minutes into the day she gave me a sweet little kiss.

Naw. Every little cut right there is just further fortification of my knife thumb. Didn't even feel it.

 

[Wild Ben]

Sadly, you are correct Ben!!
It’s the Advocate designed by Gayle Bradley.
Phenomenal knife in every regard.

That makes sense - Gayle’s designs are awesome! Thanks.

What is this one?!

 

[ChazzyP]

The natural G11 scaled Grip I posted yesterday is oddly colorful, depending on the lighting--sometimes appearing solidly yellow, other times more muted, and sometimes greenish, much like the natural G10 which is often called jade. I brightened things up today carrying my orange G10 Eagle HD.



I'd coveted this discontinued knife a long time, and will always be grateful to Barman1 who PM'd offering this one to me knowing how much I admired it.





It's hard to beat these true Al Mars, I feel lucky to have three variations of the Eagle along with two others, and the steel comprising this one's Talon blade makes it a real gem.

I have [somewhere] a 3" SERE folder I bought back in the late 70s(?). Al Mar produced some great designs, and the quality was excellent!

RIP Al Mar. A soldier, a great knife designer and producer.

Beautiful shots!
That knife is exactly where it needs to be.

What is this one?!

It's the Wixco Ragnar in 14C28N. Wixco is the new budget brand from Ferramonster. I posted a review on another of the Wixco knives in the Knife Reviews and Testing subforum. Overall, a lot to like. My only real complaint is that I have to be mindful to clear the detent when closing with my usual method. I typically depress the lock bar with a finger or thumb, drop the blade past the detent (often stopping the flipper tab on the finger or thumb in question), move that finger or thumb out of the way and shake or drop the blade the rest of the way. The Ragnar breaks late, after where the tab naturally contacts my finger. So no big deal if you use a different closing method but that's my default.

G'morning!!!!

 

[LimpCroissant]

A couple ol' standbys that I often grab when I can't make up my mind or the mind is weary in the morning before leaving to work. I also often grab them when I have a beat-up couple of thumbs from strenuous and compulsive knife flicking over extended periods.

 

[SW-EDC]

Been there done that.

I have 2 like this. The other in my leg, I could not find. Bad habit of closing autos on my thigh!

Yesterday and today. Walked with my daughter in Vyborg.

Started from the embankment, looked at the ships after restoration.

And past the castle went straight to the islands.

Monrepos Park greeted us with classic views and a wooden fox.

We stopped to drink tea from a thermos.

Finally got to the goal of our trip, the Linnasaari fort.

Built in 1912-1916. One of three forts that protected Vyborg from the northwest. The fort had a battery of 15 105-caliber guns, a powder warehouse, and a laboratory for producing shells. According to the plan, the fort was supposed to protect the inner part of the bay and the Vyborg-Helsinki railway line.
Did not take part in the First World War. And in general, after the revolution, no one needed it until 1939. Here the Finns did not miss the moment, and quite briskly covered the Red Army troops advancing on Vyborg with artillery fire from the fort. True, not for long. Therefore, little remains of the battery itself.

But the laboratory survived.

After realizing that we wouldn't find anything else here, we went back to the bay to eat some hot ramen and refill our thermos with more tea.

Strange artwork was discovered on one of the boundary pillars dividing the territory of the military department and the Monrepos Park.

We ate with a view of the northern beauties.

And they set off on their way back.

Beautiful country. Looks like a great day and a lot of great memories made.

Things are starting to stack up, Mother’s Day is when everyone around here believes that the danger of frost has passed. I use it for a chance on establishing better root systems.
