Happy Tactile Tuesday!
 
Starting yesterday, I began wondering what might catch my fancy and get carried post-Spydiethon, as I've frankly been itching to have something other in my pocket for a while. I grabbed my iMamba from the American mid-tech drawer but its clip was a bit too tight for easy IWB b-ball shorts carry as I was heading out for a brisk morning two-and-a-half miles. I hovered over my SHFs, but they're a bit weighty. The Arius, nearby in its storage slip, caught my eye, was an easy grab, and slipped easily IWB too. It'll also help me taper down from a month of knives with holes in their blades.

I didn't manage any fresh pics, though, as I was busy with b-ball admin through much of the day and ran errands later in the afternoon after a long, hot, relaxing shower, so here's a bunch of pics from last winter taken during the week after the Koenig arrived.

Here's one with the aforementioned iMamba...

...another with one of the SHFs I'd fleetingly thought about carrying this morning...

...and another solo shot, just for good measure.

As you can tell, I'm busy working out that itch for some of my other knives.

So I dug this guy out of the never-gets-used case after seeing it online while looking for something else and remembering I even had it. It was one of my earlier acquisitions because I really liked the size, blade shape and it being a flipper. Then I flipped it and remembered why it got relegated to the island of misfit knives - the detente was stiff as hell and impossible to flip open without ripping the flesh off my finger. I remembered a similar situation with a new ZT awhile back that also didn’t want to flip like a flipper should. I jammed a toothpick between the frame and liner lock, then cranked on it repeatedly open and closed, kind of forcing that detente to wear in like they should have done at the factory before turning it loose on an unsuspecting public. And along with a little dab of REM oil, it worked. Bugger now flips open like a dream, just like that formerly cuss-worthy ZT, and it’s gonna get pocketed tomorrow for the first time. It’ll hold me over until I find that Bestech Beluga that is unavailable everywhere, but that’s not stopping me from looking. This is a Bestech Komodo, btw … actually not a bad little cheapie, and now a much better fidgeter than it was a few hours ago.

The color scheme is season appropriate too ;)
