Elliot, what a gorgeous dog! %&$&# love that your giving him a chance at a permanent home! Thank you for that and thanks for sharing the pic. He's definitely got some terrier/molosser vibes about that block head.shinyedges ...Chris, tell the kids that we've been fostering this guy for a week today...determining if he'll be a permanent member of the family.
He's got a Dutch Shepherd / Pit vibe with a smattering of other stuff. Definitely shepherd body length, coloring and look. Pit or Staffie front end.
From the side and back you'd think nothing but shepherd.

I have been carrying my PM2 Smooth G10 in Cruwear this week (I believe this was an exclusive somewhere a few years back?). That thing takes an amazing edge for some reason - I hit it with my Wicked edge but it came out sharper than other knives, could be a fluke but took an amazing edge).This came today. Surprisingly stiff action. Tomorrow I will be Frankenjimboing it. It will gain green linen micarta scales and an MXG clip. My first knife in CPM-Cruwear.

By the knife ?![]()
I’ve had good luck with the Japanese Seki produced Spydercos, in particular the all stainless steel models in VG-10. Let us know how this one turns out. I like the looks of this oneThis shows up tomorrow. I never wanted to want this knife. Not in VG-10. Not from the Japanese factory. Last Spyderco from Japan was many years ago and it was a joke of fit and finish. Embarrassing. So No Japanese made Spyderco.
I'm tired of wanting this. But so help me. The blade better be centered or it's getting returned. I'm not purposely making myself deal with it. If you can't get you house in order. We're going to see if there's been improvement.
Plus it has a blade, that to be sharpened. Doesn't need to be modified to be able to sharpen.

Project Frankenjimbo complete.The greatest verb in the English language right here!
Thanks again buddy!Project Frankenjimbo complete.
norcalAF is taking the purple S30V problem child.
I figured out why the Cruwear was so stiff. So much loctite plus the screws were super tightened. I needed a drill plus my Wiha T8 to remove the screws.

Now get a tanto version and bask in CRK nirvana!Kettleman was generous enough to actually let go one of the many loves of his life to come spend the rest of its life with me!
Was concerned with the 2 finger choils not fitting my fat fingers but it’s actually perfect. The dp blade just looks big and is beautiful. So far I love everything about it and can’t wait to start breaking it in and using it!
Of course I made him promise to buy a LG before I would give him my address,
Thanks again Kettle!
