What car are you driving?
Was I right about the model year too?That’s a Infiniti Q50s. It seems like I’m always in there waiting for my better half to get ready so I snap photos of what I have on me.

Ha! I missed that. You are off by a year, same platform though. Nice catch.
Which part of my soul would you care to take in exchange for that?This one came in the mail today -- an LNIB G&G Hawk RAZR (Rotate At Zero Resistance). I don't really see G&G Hawk knives as great lookers but the action ... oh my God the action.

The trapezoidal cutout on the scales exposes the slider which actuates the Hawk lock.
There are generally mixed feelings about the Hawk's pocket clip. I typically love them. This one is the grippiest version that I've come across -- it has teeth that really want to hold onto my torn-up jeans pocket. I tried to get a pic:

At full retail, it's got some issues that would have really bugged me but I got a good deal after the pass around ended so it was worth it to me. Lightened up the detent a smidge, softened the flipper tab jimping and cut a detent ramp to make closing easier... really like it now. Definitely more of a stabber than a slicer (.125" about a 1/4" behind the edge), but nice grinds to a zero edge. The only real bummer is they didn't keep the double edge from the prototypeHow do you like the THUNDERFURY™ ? Such an 80's name for a knife. I was tempted for a moment, but I am so so about Stedemon and availability in Europe is meh at best.
