I hadn’t either. I asked the manager of a store in an exceedingly wealthy neighborhood what he had that was special. He immediately rec’d this variety...the unfiltered, jet fuel 121 proof, and said it was the most unique he had. Fantastic recommendation.

Thanks for the reply and the info. I quit drinking a few months ago. I thought it was messing with my sleep. Got up this AM at 2:10. Now, I don't think whiskey, or any booze was messing with my sleep!
Maybe I should start drinking again. Stay safe.

How do you like that? Ive been eyeballing them.
Finally get it after thinking about it over half of the year. I initially wanted an inexpensive Micarta handle, but not relying on Chinese production, I had yet to have any Micarta knife. I wanted a little gentlemen knife that can be legal in most place of the world. Then I also want a "premium steel", I don't usually care for such thing, I simply want an experience. I randomly found this one, It might not be the best, but it is the cheapest M390 steel available, yet it fits my 3 criteria, all in one!!
Then I have this beater:
Yes, it is about as expensive as a Cold Steel Voyager Large, which you get more steel per $ and aluminium liner and more beloved. However, the Voyager is too big and heavy for my need. The Air Lite is probably the toughest of its lightweight class, and being thin has some great advantage:
It fits in a Leatherman large Nylon sheath!
Inside is my Leatherman Wingman, I bought it before Leatherman sold it with sheath. I used the Buck 110 sheath for it a while, I use the lanyard to pull it out. So when I shop, I was thinking about getting a large sheath, the large sheath has the same dept, but more room, to try this combo, and it works wonder! The sheath can also carry a Wave and the Air Lite.

I picked up this fixed blade (haha) utility knife from JRW at the Tactile Knife invitational. Cool design I couldn’t pass up. Para3 for size comparison.
