Hmm... It's not a knife, but knife related. Allowable? lol.

I finally broke a Wiha Torx bit. Granted it was a T6 that had been used for years, but it still gave me an excuse to upgrade everything.

Out with the old.

In with the new.

A Combat Bead MK2 titanium Bit Driver, CRKT 6 Bit Driver Tool, and a full set of Torx/Hex/Phillip's/Slotted Head bits from PB Swiss (I also swapped all the Wiha bits in both drivers for PB Swiss). The Wiha stuff is all going to be relegated to PC and bike work.

Thank you, sir. I snap things up when I see them, I just downright feel out of sorts if I'm not waiting on something to show up!

When I sit in the porch rocking chair, my wife asks what knife is coming now.

That lockback is great. Amboyna?

I love long bolsters (I might be in the minority there?). Those ones are begging for some engraving.

The least comfortable chair in the living room has the best view of the road. When I’m in that one drinking coffee my wife knows what’s up.

We can never fool them.

Especially when all my wife has to do is check the bank app on my phone. lol
I don’t even try to pull the wool over her eyes.

It’s a Moki, and in Thulsa wood! It’s perfectly made, I can tell you that.

I have some brand new knife arrivals. My CRKT Squid II liner lock flipper arrived about 10 days ago, don't think I posted it (looked, couldn't find). Limited run, M390 steel, OD Micarta scales on both sides, made in Italy. I think a 3" blade.



Also received my WE Knife SNECX last week. The locking mechanism acts similar to a Demko Shark Lock, but you can unseat the bar near the pivot and disengage/lift up the lock bar for cleaning the knife (good blade for the kitchen). The odd pocket clip placement still tucks it up against the back side of the pocket nicely:




Speaking of Shark Lock, I picked up a Demko AD 20.5 in smooth Ti scales with CPM-3V drop point blade. I did not want the textured Ti scales which would tear up my pants pockets if I used the pocket clips. The action is pretty good, so I wont change the bearings to Skiff yet, but I am installing a spare LynchNW deep carry clip soon:






I have to stop here for now, but still have a few more incoming to post.

The ad20.5 is a great knife, I have the 3V with custom 3d printed scales. I agree about the action, no need to upgrade the bearings.

To be honest, upgraded bearings haven't done much of anything for me, at least on my Spydercos. Wasn't worth the money in my opinion.

Nothing really special, but I got this nice little stainless steel Casexx in a trade. It was made in 2000 which is the year I graduated high school.

Here are two new scores. I finally managed to get my hands on a Victorinox ALOX 2015 LE Colorway*, plus this new Boker Brend:

How's the boker?

Tres Amigos … or the Three Stooges, I’m not sure yet. These were a whim/binge purchase from KC’s recent sale as part of my Axial depression remediation therapy. Buck Nobleman, Bestech Komodo, and Kershaw Scallion. Not impressed with the Scallion - pivot feels too tight and it doesn’t fly all the way open like my other Kershaws with Speedsafe do. The Bestech is a hefty beast with really nice action; I’ve never been a big fan of orange scales, but this one just grabbed me. The Buck looks better in person than in pictures, feels nice and solid with typical smooth Buck action. I have no idea what I’m gonna do with any of them, but they’re all pretty decent in their own way.

Edit: I put a drop of REM oil on the Scallion pivot and worked it a few times, now it flips right open like it’s supposed to. Fun little flipper now.
