Haven't posted a lot here at the Kershaw forum for the past two months. Have had some issues that had to be dealt with concerning a year old divorce. One thing this caused was me getting rid of most of my knives to get the funds I needed to pay my lawyer. At this point in time I think that things have been totally resolved and that this divorce will not rear it's ugly head again!:thumbup::thumbup:
So my goal now is to begin replacing those knives that had to be sold. I was able to keep three from the sale block, but two of them ended up being pawned, both of my Strider AR's. There was good in that though as I was able to pawn them to a good friend who advanced me money but did not charge me any interest! The other knife I was able to keep I kept simply because I could get nothing for it and I'm glad that I couldn't as this at least left a knife in my pocket, and it was a Boker Wharcom.
So, where to begin? For this month the choices were made for me. Back on the 20th of August I got a call from Chris Reeve Knives. Seems I put my name on a list a couple or so years back for the new folder CRK was going to build. I had forgotten all about it up to that point. So the new Umnumzaan was my first "back on my feet" purchase. Not long after this I received an email from NGK wanting to know if I still wanted the new folder from Fallkniven, the PXL w/white micarta. As it turned out, I did!
I am now in possession of both and am tickled to have them. Both of these lived up to my expectations, and then some. Though these are more of a medium sized knife, I still find both are built stout, especially the PXL, and both have that kind of fit/finish I have grown accustomed to from my Kershaws/ZT's.
Though neither is a Kershaw knife I still wanted to post here as I feel a very strong bond to you folks on this forum and I figured you would understand the "off-brand" purchases!! I can assure you that next month will see a new ZT0200 and a ZT0500 for me to brag about!:thumbup::thumbup:
