Well, with the addition of a new Sebenza to my CRK collection, I thought I'd take a few minutes at lunch and try to capture some new family pictures. But wouldn't you know it, the kids were all unruly and a mess and a crazy bystander just had to keep jumping in besides.
All in all, a frustrating outing with the knives and camera.
First, here's the new sebbie. It's a large mammoth ivory bark. Feels great in the hand and has a nice heft to it for a folder, plus it came satisfyingly sharp. It's too large to be carrying clipped to my right-front pocket, though, so I'm either going to carry it in my back pocket or I'm going to get a belt sheath made for it. (I'm definitely leaning towards a belt sheath, but can't make up my mind as to what it should look like.)
Well, wouldn't you know it, about this time some lazy old bum decided to jump in. It seemed inappropriate, but what are you going to do, anyway?
I managed to get the bum to go away and tried for a family picture. This is when I realized my small sebbie had a dirty face. Apparently someone was painting a bedroom and picked it up with a bit of wet paint still on his hands.
That small sebbie sure has been through a lot, and it's overdue for a cleanup trip to CRK. I don't know if they can get the paint off the micarta scales though (I rather expect not....)
Featured in this picture: Small Micarta Sebenza (dirty and abused!), Mountaineer II, Large Mammoth Ivory Bark Sebenza, and black-dyed amboyna wood Mnandi:
Of course, just about then that highly inappropriate bum decided to sneak into the picture:
There ought to be a law about steel mallets mixing with cool knives, don't you think?
Anyway, I decided to take a picture of the Sebenza brothers together. Still can't get over that paint spot on my littlest one. grumble
So then I tried for all the folders together, but wouldn't you know it, sneaking into the background....
At that point I gave up. I'll try again some other day with clean knives and without the mallet.
I hope.
