Everyone's latest acquisitions!

Rob Johnsons Cedar. After getting the Cypress and loving it I could not wait to get a spot in the books. Arrived yesterday. Love the milling pattern and vibrant blue hardware. Fit and finish is excellent.

Rex 121 Sage 5. Swapped the FRN scales for CF.

YUUUUP ! 👍💎
Thas the way I was going to go then I got bucks off on a black FRN to use as a donor and since I had no FRN like this and prefer aggressively textured scales ( I would have the G10 from the original Siren and BM Contego on most of my knives if I could ) I went black FRN.

I would MUCH rather look at yours though. Love my Gail Bradleys with these scales / do not understand the aversion some were expressing about these.

I mean, orange is OK to carry in October / Halloween month but I'm more of a black or dark blue handle guy the rest of the year.

I won't put up an image; we all know what the the basic Sages look like.
I will say for the last couple of days before leaving for work (which is about when our mail comes) I been sniffing around the box and whining until the last second before I'm late for work.

NOTHING !
Then Lisa calls me to ask if I would like her to drop the package that arrived this afternoon to me at work since she was going that way. I had to work late / OT so that made my whole week!
She DOES know how to enable an addict.

mmmmmmm REX 121
Mineallllmine !.

I'd sworn off buying any more knives after the BBB Manix 15V.
welllll . . . there might have been the odd little slip here and there . . .
But I was (essentially) on the wagon.
Could not resist the 121; not----strong-----enough 😛👹 😊

Same - loved my Cypress V2 so had to get on the books for a Cedar. Got it a while back. They make great knives.
 
I made a mistake & bought this ZT 0560CBCF XXXX (Second), which I just received today.

The knife looks "correct" & there are no noticeable defects but I don't normally buy seconds & I don't normally buy a ZT w/o proper labeling on the box, which is what I did in this case. 🤦

My mistake was not reading the listing more carefully which fully disclosed that it was a second & showed that there was no bar code labeling on the box identifying the model of the knife.🤦🤦

Oh well, I got it for "good" price & it looks good paired with the standard 0560. So, I'll keep it until I can find non-XXXX version of it. 🤷‍♂️

So, I had a need. Just for grins, I wanted a virtually indestructible knife. Oh, and it also had to be a folding knife. I know, I know "A folder is just a knife that's already broken! They can't be virtually indestructible!"

Well, I disagree:

Hmmm? "Ti scales, nice! But still, S35Vn isn't that special!"

Admittedlt, that's true. Which is why this one isn't S35Vn:

It's so heavy and ridiculous, it's absolutely immediately in my top five collection, I LOVE this knife.

Mine is winging its way South. Some of the old spirit is left in Sold Steel!

It's one of my favorites this year as well. KotY contender, imo
