Everyone's latest acquisitions!

My Yojimbo 2 has sat forgotten for a long time in my tool chest, stripped stop pin screw, messed up/cracked cheap micarta scales. I just ordered some quality od green linen micarta scales and titanium screws for it. It will soon be back in the rotation.

Which is good because my customized PM2 has gone missing. I am exceptionally good at hiding my knives in my checked luggage, and have until now have never had one one stolen, which I suspect is the case.

Three knives were hidden in my rc truck's battery slot (yes I took it with me and it was a riot), two in shoes, one in the box, and the PM2 the zipped pocket of a shirt.

The bag had massively been rifled through. Granted, I had checked a firearm, but on the way down the bag was unmolested. Most of my knives were in my other checked bag.

So, now I'm trying to decide what to replace it with. I'm considering the Wharncliffe CTS-XHP PM2, however I'm planning on going to the GAKC show in St Louis this month, so I may save my shekels for something more unique. For over 9 years the PM2 has been rough ne of my heaviest users, a long with the Manix 2 and GB1.

That blue Biryukov in S390 has been calling my name though.
 
New from the latest DLT drop. I added the scale, Skiffs, and soon a Lynch deep carry clip and black hardware.

I've had several more knives come in since Saturday that have not been posted yet until I got pics. I forgot to post this Pena X-series Mula here, that I picked up Saturday from @Gary W. Graley and have been carrying but only posted in the EDC thread.

I've got his 3 pics and then mine from when I picked it up. This knife has a fantastic action for thumb flick and reverse flick, as well as front flipper action!

Man you're killing me, DJ! That sick Shiro you made the 3 hour RT drive for, is absolutely gorgeous! I sure don't know too many other knife nuts, living life larger than you are right now!


@DocJekl I hope you don’t take offense and understand that I use you as my “ Honey it could be worse” every time she gets the mail on new knife day!
Exactly.....
Or Honey: "YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW BAD IT GETS!!!" 🤣 🤑🫵

Love this Sebbie, AND your profile pic, ZF!

I’ll be honest, I miss that knife! Best damn Zaan Ive ever owned. I am so glad you are enjoying it John!
I really am, Clay. This Zaan you sold me, has rejuvenated my excitement for knives. IMO- Chris Reeve makes the best/highest quality mid-level production knives- period! If I had to choose just 1 knife I could keep, this I think this Zaan would be the 1!

Not really my style, but has a few things going for it:

1. Vanax steel, supposedly run around 61 HRC. This company has a decent reputation for taking heat treating seriously.
2. Very smooth, controlled fall shut, no wiggle anywhere.
3. Style in the Evo/Strider style mold. Good ergos, if not a bit “gas station-y.”
