I got myself a toy with Christmas cash.

CJRB Tundra.

Comes with Free Opinions!

Nice balance of textures and flat spaces reminds me a little bit of the Wander Tactical stuff. Especially the pocket clip, which is one of the few that fits over the Riggs leather panel.

I was using a framelock wrong and got the lock bar to move while I was cutting. It was my fault, and I learned to go get the right tool, but it made me more cautious of frame- and liner-locks. I have a 4Max, fixed blades, a Sawzall...

This is a fun toy.

Knifecenter says the blade thickness is 0.190.

I like chunky knives.

I've become convinced that "grippy", or whatever you want to substitute for "coefficient of friction" comes from the material your handle slabs are made of, not the shape. The Tundra appeals because it's very neutral. If you look fast, it has a little in common with Barlows or Kepharts.

Seems like there's this fascination right now with seeing if any knife will "bushcraft". Maybe I'm just old and need to stop telling people to get off my lawn.

I tried the locking pin, then removed it and the lanyard, and put them back in the bag with the cleaning cloth.

This trend of "testing" a knife for "bushcraft" as some kind of standard is silly to me, and it ties in with my cautions about liner locks from above. The subtext of our hobby is situational awareness and preparedness, so if you are going to a place where "bushcraft" may be necessary....

Don't rely on your linerlock knife.
