Just bought this Gen 2 VG10 combo bladed model of the Spyderco Police off of EB.

Just started collecting this version of the Police because I love the lack of holes in the handle; no alternate clip screw or lanyard holes. Just looks elegant to me that way. I've previously purchased a fully serrated version and now this partially serrated version of this model and only need a plain edged version to complete the set.

Anyway, the knife was advertised as used and the blade as unused but the handle was more scratched up than apparent in the photos and there was also some slight scratching on the supposedly unused blade. Fortunately, I had just purchased a cheap but very solidly built 6" bench buffer from Harbor Freight and, after just a little time using some green polishing compound, all of the scratches were removed and only a few hardly noticeable light nicks in the handle remained.

It looks beautiful now and I don't have to bother trying to return it for not being "as described." That buffer is one of the best things I ever bought at Harbor Freight. It was $ well spent.

PS: I also used the buffer to clean up the tip of a 1980's vintage Gerber Mark II, which is used but now looks "like new" as well.

Upgraded the Rat with some custom G10 scales.

And just took delivery of the ZT 0055 with the GTC slt flipper tab system. I must say im impressed! Its a work of art and a steal for what they cost imo.

Was in Carmel, CA over the weekend and stopped by Carmel Cutlery. Chatted with the owner, Sanford, about random knife things and his company, Monterey Bay Knives. Picked up an MBK EZC. Sanford seems like a down-to-earth guy - very easy to talk to. I highly recommend stopping by the shop if you're in the area.

The EZC seems like it's gonna be a keeper. Really digging the the FFG. Simple, clean design. True to its name, it's super easy to carry in the pocket and the hand.

Just got this Thorburn L51 Compact today. I’ve never seen scales like this before.

Leatherman wave plus to replace the older wave I ahem, fried doing a DIY electrical repair. Whenever someone says they turned off the electricity to the house, VERIFY IT YOURSELF BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO STRIP THE WIRE

Ended up with a chip the size of the Grand Canyon in the main blade

Been there dome that with my first St 300

Wow! Gorgeous! I've never heard of them and they are about a 10 minute drive from me. I love the looks and design, but it's a flipper. I really don't care for flippers. If they made that with a thumb stud I'd be over there tomorrow, buying one.

Double happiness! Always nice when two knives from different retailers arrive on the same day. Nothing fancy here just furthering my interest in modern traditionals. Two handers are fun in their own right. Looking forward to carrying and using these.

It's based on a Ray Laconico custom model, so that determined that feature choice. But you should totally check out the store anyway. The owner seems like a great guy and you'd be able to give him that feedback directly. He seems to be pretty open to people's feedback. Also they have a nice selection of other knives
