Everyone's latest acquisitions!

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!

The CRK stonewash is similar to the SHF finish, it's hard to explain how it feels soft to the touch, but it is more pronounced on the SHF.

Setting the seed, I like your style!

When you believe in a product, it's hard not to sell it at every opportunity!

I also got in the rat 1 and 2 in a combo deal for a great price. Had been wanting them for a while based off of everything I’ve heard. Bought them used and figured I would use them to learn to sharpen. Well I was pleasantly surprised at how nice they are, well built, action is great and the handles are excellent!

Great deal, it really is. Way beyond what I was expecting. If I could only spend $50 on a knife it would be hard to beat.

One lives in every glovebox, it's a great knife that won't make me sad if stolen, but will handle anything I could need.

Ooh, the ninja zaan! That would be nasty.

Yea, I've come to grips with the fact that most of my knives are fun to own/use, not need to have as I have yet another ZT on the way lol

It's a cherry sprint 0095! I love Ti handled and unique ZT steels, it's a perfect match!

Got some hardware for my Benchmade Mini Griptilian with AWT scales and LynchNW clip, to replace my first ever broken Omega Spring. The old springs were custom made one-off from Jewelry wire and lasted a year - they were not production springs.

Installed the springs and hardware, but the pivot just didn't want to make it through all the way until after 45 minutes of struggle. The liners, scales, blade, and washers were all lined up, and the flat side of the pivot tube was rotated in the right direction, but it was like fighting me. Whew!

The springs were not broken, just very weak, and the new ones are much much stronger. The insides of the knife were filthy, so it was a good opportunity to clean it up. The Tuff-Glide stuck to the springs with nice surface tension, and without wandering around and getting everywhere.

Having a hard figuring out if I’m going to want the zaan in tanto or dp!

Yes
