Things have been going nuts on my end, so I haven't been all that active on the forums lately. 
I did have a few new knives come in recently though. 
First up is the Sandrin Torino in carbon fiber and tungsten carbide. After
WValtakis
gave it the thumbs up, I'd been looking to buy one. The carbon fiber version was just too cool to pass up. Sweet knife, very slicey! I was pretty surprised with how well it handled the workload in my warehouse.
Next is the Spyderco Swayback. I went into this purchase knowing the knife was likely to be too large for me... And yep, too damn big. With a 3" blade this thing would have been awesome! I don't really get what Spyderco was thinking to be honest. The clip is way out of place too.
Next up is a Bradford Guardian 3 sheepsfoot in black canvas Micarta and M4 steel. I love this thing! I have (had) a Guardian 3 drop point in AEB-L that I kept in my toolbox, but my wife fell in love with it and stole it from me, lol. Whatever. This one is cooler anyways. Now I just gotta find a better hiding place.
And then I finally got around to installing the hardware and gray scale on my Hinderer XM-18 3" Wharncliffe. I was gonna hold out for a carbon fiber or titanium scale, but to be honest, I'm kind of underwhelmed with the knife (I don't want to hear it
Quiet
, lol), so I'll probably leave it as is. I have to say that the tolerances of the Hinderer hardware leaves much to be desired.

I have been enjoying slipjoints lately. Here’s a Barret Chrisman Raven.

Clinch Pick!! Craig Douglas/southnarc/shiv works. That guy is awesome, and I love the design as a self defense blade.

Other than the left handed part, that's the same Hinderer I've got my eye on...

My First Full Custom
First, Tammy & Adam at Brian Tighe Custom Knives are very helpful and extremely knowledgeable as you’d expect. So I ordered a Brian Tighe “Tighe Down” Integral folder, push button lock. This will be a safe queen for sure, but that has more to do with the multi-grind, ridegeback spear point...

Since my wife decided to appropriate my Bradford Guardian 3 drop point in AEB-L and black Micarta... I figured I better pick her up a decent sheath, lol. 
She isn't a huge fan of leather sheaths when we're camping/backpacking, and she also wanted something that could be very easily removed. I thought a Kydex sheath with a Spyderco G-Clip would be just the ticket. I had no idea how handy these little G-Clips were! I'm going to have to pick up a couple more for sure. The sheath came directly from Bradford. I'm not sure who is making them for Bradford, or if Bradford themselves is making them, but it's one of the better taco style sheaths I've used.
Next is a "new to me" Spyderco Drunken. I should have bought one of these a LONG time ago! What a knife! It feels so nice and refined. I've only carried it to work once so far, but I'm already really smitten with it.
