10 minutes after I left for work the big brown truck rolled into the hood.:confused:

Got home and my wife had the boxes stacked for me. What a great end to a crappy week.

Emerson Roadhouse Whisky combo. (Whiskey got delivered a few days ago)
Hawk Talon in DLC
Spyderco Karahawk

Microtech Ludt
And some Hinderer parts from the Hollow grind. Which thanks to this board, I found out about.

Also thanks to the HollowGrind for the first aid kit. I think these are some of the best swag in the knife industry. Stickers are cool, patches are fantastic, but this, this is premium swag in my book. Shows the vendors care about us. I got one from Esse at Blade Show, already used.🩸We all going to mess up sooner or later. My spyders have got me a couple times already.

I feel so blessed in my life to be able to afford things like this after working for so long.
Honestly, that Microtech is stunning. I am so impressed by it. I kind of swore off autos, but these select series are pretty awesome!

Unfortunately I won’t be drinking that one. I tried the 1776 at blade show. Ernest gave me a shot after I bought my sheepdog. And then handed me the empty bottle. 👍 I still have it.

I don’t drink, don’t have a taste for it, so you can imagine how I felt with 100 proof?

I can say I met the man, and he poured me a drink. Not many can say that, so that’s the memory I have, not my mouth on fire. :p

The Arno Bernard iMamba is what a medium Sebenza on bearings would be. It's amazing. I am up to 3 in my collection.

While looking at Arno Bernard, you may want to snag a Turaco as well. Amazingly fidgety button lock with solid lookup and beautiful design.
 
In on the Talon and the whiskey. Send me your PP info. . .
Edited to add for those who can’t tell, this is a joke obviously. . . 😂

Also the AB Orca. I enjoy the Orca as much as the iMamba. Much like CRK, AB's build tolerances are pretty tight.
