Thanks, although I am second guessing not buying the full size Herman Sting instead. While this Herman Micro Sting is about the size of all of my small Inkosi which fit nicely in the hidden right front pocket of my pants, it's not as heavy and sturdy with a thinner blade. A true gentleman knife it is, and I like it more than my Ti/Damascus William Henry (for only 33% more cost).

If history says anything I feel like you'll have one on the way soon!

What would you say are your favorites?

I also picked up an Alliance Design Ray Laconico EZE Titanium frame lock with carbon fiber scale, and I believe M390 blade (made by Reate like the Oeser F-22). Got this from Frankie and Bird at BirdshotTV, “Heyyyyy!”

I’m very impressed with the action, fit and finish, and edge. And it feels good in the hand.

Very nice.

Haha. Which ones get the most use?

Probably my XM-18 3.5" working finish w/ GITD scales or Halftrack 3", Spyderco camo Para 3 in S45VN, Small Sebenza 31 PJ S45VN, Spartan SHF 3.25" Damascus, GT Recon 035 in Elmax or Microtech UTX-85 in M390, Benchmade Shootout, Buck Sprint Pro 841 in CF and S45VN, Benchmade Mini std griptlian tanto in 154CM, Spartan Pallas all PVD, Shiro NeOn NL OD green, AD 20.5 carbon fiber drop point 3V, Giant Mouse Jutland, Benchmade CLA, Kershaw Launch 11 or Dividend, David Mary Speedy Weasel v0.9 and Itty Bitty Bitey Birdie, Bunny Knife #69, Swiss Army knife is an always (Tinker or Super Tinker), Spyderco Manbug on keychain always.

Then I'll see a knife on the forum that I own and I'll pull it out to carry for a day as well (like a Spyderco or Benchmade, Civivi, WE, CJRB, etc). But most of the other 200 or so knives don't get much use - probably should sell some. I'm donating 7-8 of them for an online giveaway by a popular you tuber for charitable purposes soon.

I suspect the new TRM Atom and Tactile Maverick are going to be added to that frequent carry list soon, along with the Alliance Design Laconico EZA and MKM Goccia. I might carry my Hawk Deadlock once my JW4 model arrives.

Before any of my other knives which have any specific sentimental value to me, I'd most likely offer him my silver paw print large Sebenza and green ti/natural micarta Geoge Muller that I got in honor of the two great old dogs I had pass away in '19 and '20 respectively, the "great grey ghost" and the "african lion hound", simply because they were his dogs too. He grew up with 'em ever since day 1 on this earth, and they were his best buddies for his first 6-7 yrs...
(The black one was the last puppy left from a mixed litter they had together 9 days before he was born... Needless to say it was a mad house with 9 puppies and a newborn).

Broke his heart as much as mine to lose 'em, and He still brings 'em up from time to time and how much he misses them. And I just reply, "I know buddy, I do too..." 😥

Losing a dog is ROUGH, for anyone who's had one or more and loves their dogs!
I know what's in those boxes...I've got three of my own.
Good looking son you have there.
Stay safe.

Beautiful knife, too bad it's paired with a Glock.

Just had to put mine down Friday (cancer), there really is something special about dogs that makes their loss profoundly painful.

Beautiful tribute you have there.

That's a crazy collection! That's cool you are donating some though.

I sometimes feel bad about not using the 9 or so knives that I have in my collection. Not sure what I would do with 200!

Nice knife, and I have a similarly modded G19 with stippled grips, relieved trigger guard, and a top of the line ZEV trigger, with night sights, crimson trace laser grip, and Surefire under-barrel light. Didn't machine the slide or port the barrel though.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I've lost a lot of pets, putting them down is tough. I've lost both a cat and a dog to cancer. The dog luckily died in its sleep, 17 yearsold. My cat was 15, he was out of it, not really aware of where he was when I put him down. That was just in December. Cat had been with me through thick and thin, always in my bed while I was sick with liver disease, snd he followed me around like a dog. He would come when called.

However. I lost two traumatically. My Bengal was 7, she lost the use of her back legs due to blood clots. She had a heart condition that was causing clots. At the vet, looking in her adorable eyes, she knew it was the end. Put her little paw on me, and her eyes started watering. Hardest thing I've ever done.

Our family dog died from liver disease. My sister found him.

Losing dogs and cats is so difficult, harder than people sometimes.
