Everyone's latest acquisitions!

Got a Spartan/Harsey fighter (the ka-bar collaboration) which I immediately stripped and mustard etched

These have been flowing in through the week from some trades but I’ve been waiting to get some accessories. The 0562 is an early 204P run that was a cf show side. Swapped the cf out for an sdk micarta show scale and some taco bearings. The 0456 just got a bearing upgrade to some tacos as well. Action was good out of the box but once the tacos break in will be smooth as glass.

When the Kershaw Iridium came out, I was quick to say that I wished Kershaw would produce a premium version. So, when this bad boy was announced, I figured I’d better put my money where my mouth is. :)

I would have preferred a U.S. made version, but I get that tooling up a U.S. factory for a one off knife wouldn’t be feasible.

Titanium (with an excellent finish) and 20cv make for a great combo! I’ve also gotta give Kershaw props for producing the most well executed crossbar lock I’ve experienced. Super smooth!

Al Mar Eagle HD. Laminated zdp-189. Took several weeks to track one down at non-rectal violation prices. ChazzyP ChazzyP was a good fella to point out a few along the way. Truth be told, a blue Cutlery Shoppe exclusive was my first choice, but I'm fine with the brown.

Nice one, Chuck. Glad you finally found one and came away unviolated! :eek: Sweet laminate line on the show side too. :D

Mine was supposed to be delivered today (ordered on the 20th) but the hail storms here delayed delivery until tomorrow :(

I hope it turns up tomorrow for you! On the plus side, I think you’ll find that it’s worth the wait. I’m pretty impressed by it. :)

Thanks - I really like my basic version, so I'm expecting as good or better with this one.
 
I had another Plethora of knives arrive today, although 4 more were delayed by multiple hailstorms in town today (well, it was Thursday when they came in, but I haven't been to bed yet). I'll post the late ones this weekend, but it would have been epic to post them all today. I almost left out one of my Ferum Forge Knives after I put them all away, and had to go back and at least add the box to the group photo.

First up is my new Shirogorov Hati Gen 3 released yesterday in Red Technocarbon and inlay with M390 steel. Included a group photo for those who will think this will be TL;DR (missing one though). Due to picture limits this will take 5 posts.
