My new sexy Italian redhead
Normally I don't buy knives when the weather is nice, for me this is "ammo" season, but I promised a buddy I used to work with that I would buy him a decent knife, (since he carried a bunch of junk; coast, mtech, flea market zombie, etc), and as I was shopping for him, I came across this beauty at a real nice price, when I thought to myself, "other then a lady leg and a mora, I don't have any red folders!"
And so it begun... I also snagged an orange/black LNIB Lionsteel SR2a I'm waiting to get delivered, since I'm an orioles fan and all, and all the orange knives I've bought to date went to the wife, being it's her favorite color...
Also, for my buddy, I narrowed it down to 3,
Real Steel H5 Gerfalcon - flipper, framelock, 14c28n, solid reviews
One of the nicer Browning's made, the 504 - flipper, anodized titanium linerlock, deep carry, vg10, under 3.5oz.
Boker+ Honeycomb Titan - 3.5"+ blade, 5"+ handle, (he has thick hands), lockback, 440c, thin profile 0.32" handle
So whichever of those 3 he prefers, all around the $50 mark, he gets, and either way it'll be his best pocket knife for sure. (Next year for his bday I'll get him something even nicer based on his preferences)
AND....... I also came across the Mcusta Tsuchi Bushi Sword in Green, for a good price at the HQ, and thought to myself, "well, my son'sfavorite color is green, and other then my OD Blur, I use regularly, I don't have any green knives... if something were to happen to me before he grows up, it would be a nice piece to leave him, and I always did want a mcusta..."
Ah, The madness.... so along with my Italian redhead, (which I must say, Viper did a superb job with), I have 5 more in transit...
After they all arrive, I'll compare the Ten, SR2, and Sword, and I might by the viper or lionsteel in green for the kid, or might wind up buying another sword to keep one new in a box I've put together for him, and one for myself to carry.
I think I gotta put some rounds down range to take my mind off the sharp things...
