Well…funny story…

I like AWT scales. They remove the palm swell from the original scales (which is in the wrong place for my hand comfort). The Bodacious is a fantastic knife, but I got a little bit adventurous this morning and changed the overall “boomerang” shape and modified the blade.

She looks like this now…

AWT scales are always well thought out…I have had zero issues with AWT.
Hey Coleman let know if you get tired of this please,🙏a nice mod!

According to my personal tastes, this is 🔥 in every way, shape, and form. If you had a fixed blade in the essemble, which would it be ? Great stuff !!!

Thank you much 😃 I only own a handful of fixed blades and I think they would all match in this layout but the one that would standout most in here would be my Giraffe Fall Creek

Yesterday, dressed in lighter pants that my usual jeans, I went back to my newest, slipping the Rukus in my pocket. I was surprised to find its clip provided little retention in those trow. The clip fully touches the scales but will need a little bend to give it a bit more bite, as I certainly don't want my new acquisition slipping out somewhere and becoming lost or someone else's knife. I switched up to my Dama CRK 31 as I had a light-duty day of b-ball admin and errands ahead of me. By the time I got home from running around town, it was too late for pics, so today I took some two days' worth as I returned to my latest BMK.

It was warm here today--upper 40's--but partly cloudy and just a taste hazy, so golden hour proved a good time for Damascus pics, which I usually find difficult to properly show contrast or definition which is a hallmark of this Chad Nichols Boomerang pattern.

Two BEAUTIES, Chazzy!
 
Old(er) School Kershaw Friday. Had to mess around with these 2 Kershaws yesterday. The Blur is a modern era Blur, but in S30v. Such a great knife, you really don't need anything else. I do wish it had different inlays though, the textured rubber is too rough on the ol' pockets. And with that I carried my treasured Shallot in S110V from October 2008. The Shallot is a fantastic knife too. Bare bones, just steel on steel, but fits the hand organically (like Ken Onion models tend to do), and has crazy blade length to handle length proportions. S110V was pretty rare back then if I remember right. I like the way they sandblasted the blade and then tumbled it to give it a dark stonewash. This Shallot is always in it's little cubby on my desk, I love it.

Man I miss the era of tons of options of US made non-auto Kershaws. They used to make such awesome models and manufacture a good number at the same time, similar to how Bechmade or Spyderco has a whole catalog of high quality manual folder models. Seems as though Kershaw is really focusing the vast majority of their US manufacturing on automatic models now days except for just a few models.
