Everyone's latest acquisitions!

May I ask one more question? Can you get a pic or two of the lockup and the liner thickness?
If it’s a pain in the butt, that’s no problem, I’m just curious. Two I ordered are going to pre-teen boys and they’re hard on outdoor knives. I’d hate for them to get hurt due to flimsy liner locks.
Sure, sorry for the delay.
The lock is OK, about up to 45% engagement. As you can see, because of the handle geometry, they left the tab of the lock bar protruding enough out of the frame,
I don't see it as a problem to accidentally being disengaged but it's up to you to decide.
IMO, good design and execution of a small knife, seems useful. Let me know if you need more pictures :thumbsup:

Perfect👍
Those are exactly what I needed.
Thank you kindly.
 
I had two show up this week. The first I've wanted for a long time. And thanks to mcoop1 here on BF, I was able to get my hands on a Skiff Drifter. The second knife is the OZ Rosevelt , which I was lucky enough to get on his lottery early this week. Yep, been a good week !

I found myself at the "North Fork"; and had to buy my way out of the place...
Like that kid said: "Oops: I did it again."

I've had a Benchmade stryker 910 for 20 years, but decided to get a second BM, the Bugout in CF and S90V.
It is surprisingly small and super light. I can't imagine needing the mini version.
It was pretty stiff to open at first but has been slowly smoothing out.
It came only fairly sharp. Looking at the final bevel preparing to sharpen, I noticed a huge (barely noticeable) gouge right before the tip.
I sharpened it to near mirror at 16 degrees on a WE, fixing that imperfection in the process.
The slight blemish is visible in the first two pics.
Now we'll see how long this S90V holds an edge...

Not a knife, but my latest acquisition. Thank you moresnowdays moresnowdays ! It appears to be extremely well made. Time will tell, but I have high expectations based on the solid stitching, smooth metal zipper and overall attention to detail. "Life changing" may be overstated... but maybe not.

Anyway, awesome handmade wallet with a cool, user friendly design.

The picture of an empty wallet could also serve as the emblem of the knife collector!
 
Spartan Pallas, Large and light. Thumb stud deployment is also very light and works great.

SOG Kiku XR had my interest for a bit so I managed to pick one up fairly cheap.
In hand it feels like a very sold compact hard-use tool, I was thinking about getting the XR LTE but decided I wanted the steel liners for longevity and weight.
I plan on doing some mods to the handle, maybe the blade finish.
