I think that was what screwed me up. I was anticipating forum lag, which is why I first, doublechecked my Atomic sync G-Shock with time.gov and then WAITED a few seconds after the hour before refreshing the page (a strategy that was necessary, and worked with the old server).

THIS time, though I posted promptly after refreshing (which didn't take 30 seconds or longer, or stall out while waiting) and there was no lag (or worse, like the TWO Boot Dagger sales I tried; booted because the server was not responding), abd my post popped up promptly, I was already down at #39.

If I count the ones that just say, "In" (at this time) as 1, that's still 52 K20s before my post. 😲

Will there be any remnants like with the K18 that could be turned into something cool?

^ Are you certain? I wouldn't put much stock into what he quips. I think that there will be enough material left over for Matthew Gregory's collaborative (genius) idea: The CPK-Raisin Peeler.

Yes. Material hold down features that we can use to stabilize the blade during the cuts. These will be removed and discarded. I'm sorry, there are no daggers hiding in this layout.

Found some peace and quiet. At Long Lake by Nine Mile Falls. How close am I to you Martin?

Oof... that was you? I honestly couldn't recall who it was.

Man, if I was in your shoes, I'd be removing the scales on my CPKs, drilling/machining a shallow hole inside one scale, juuust sized to fit something like an AirTag (or similar), then putting the scales back on. (Come to think of it, if you can find small versions, they might even fit in the skeletonization holes. Pad 'em so they don't rattle). No more lost/stolen CPKs.

IIRC, battery life is good for ~1 year? So, no different than getting in the habit of replacing CR2032s yearly, in equipment that uses them.

Moving this over here.

They were taken from a[n] [ex] dear friend of mine whom I had gifted them to. He took a group of kids fishing and left a pack containing about 2k of stuff, not the least of which being his wallet and keys, hanging from a tree on the beach while he walked out on the reef fishing with the kids. "I had a line of sight." Apparently he looked over and it was gone. F*****g moron. He hardly even lifted a finger to try recover the stuff: a HDFK, a BOSS Street with custom Mt. Mike sheath, and a GSO2.5 (with red linen micarta scales!!). I expended much energy on the endeavor, to no avail.

Interesting idea you got there. I might just try setting some bait at the same location...not valuables but a sack on the beach with something that might be considered desirable by those who would commit such an act, maybe a cheap knife of some sort...don't think I'd get the original knives back but maybe get the MF'er arrested...hmmm....an old or broken MacBook perhaps, something easy to tag that they'd hold onto long enough to get tracked...wait, doesnt any phone issue an alert when it's around a non-paired AirTag for a while? How long does that take?
