Random Thought Thread

Guess who's back? Fark yeah! Haha... Y'all been behaving yourselves? I'll call Nathan later on to take names and to kick arse. What's all this BS about how he sharpens his shyte? It's a secret sauce. Don't ask, don't tell :p

Okay, first of some more pics for Jo because she said that she had never seen this color water. The Smith River is really beautiful so make it a part of your bucket list and if you ever get a chance, go for it. This river offers an abundance of minerals and the boring looking dry rocks which you see on the bank just pop to life with beautiful multicolor and streaks that I just had to steal a few (hush, please don't tell anyone!) to place in my pond. These spots were near base camp but by and large the river is just beautiful even at any public access point.

But I'm more in awe of the monster Redwood trees. There're "secret" locations within the Jedediah Smith National Forest that houses the "Grove of Titans" meaning that the individual trifecta of the largest, the oldest and the tallest of these trees have been spotted to this date (well I suppose that the tallest would be easier to spot aerially). Anyhow, I didn't have time to be a Redwood sleuth but I did find some interesting ones which I had to take shots of with some references for gauging their sizes. Well this is one below is a bit out of my frame, because I suck at photography but it's a weird one with twin diverging trunks:

And this one is a trunk which washed up ashore in Brookings, Oregon gawd knows when and during what monstrous storm but Brookings is miles and miles north of the Jedediah Smith NF. The trunk's cavity is huge, you could probably drop a small size car inside it and I reckon that the car will be swallowed whole! The rocks in the background are not tiny ones either.

Trying not to feel FOMO from not jumping in on the UF2 preorder by telling myself a Shiv might be coming... I love the UF pattern so much but can't explain to the wife why I need yet another one, especially after a second Boot Dagger came home lol

Sigh......

I couldn't let this get past, but I'm hoping it doesn't arrive too soon as I too have some other things arriving shortly...
 
A buddy of mine was getting one on my preorder. He's the only real knife guy in my real life knife circle. He was going in blind based on having held the FK2 and DEK I stopped by his place this evening to show him some scale variations, and brought my UF, now he's in for 2. Dont miss out

It's already REALLY hard explaining to the wife my duplicate HDFKs and Boot Daggers... plus the DEK1, FK2, and my UF1 lol I'm actually holding out for a Shiv and hoping to get matching micro EDCs for the wife/me.

The new UF2 handle looks amazing though! Ahhhhhhhhh. I just know if I jump on this preorder, I'd go for the sharpened tip, ECAM scales, and spare OD Green Terotuf scales, which would really push the knife waaaaaaaaaay past my already stretched budget.

Probably won’t be any more Shivs, not withstanding the tease of the integral Shiv that one day may materialize. That puts you buying one of the originals on the secondary, and they have been going for a grand or even more and rarely pop up. If she doesn’t like the idea of you buying a $500 UF2, I doubt she would think much of you buying a Shiv for $1K.

Nathan also said this(UF2) will not be a regular pattern and this order is only piggybacking the military order. I take that to mean this is your only chance, so fire way.

I’d sell one HDFK, they will likely be made again in the not too distant future and can be replaced if you have to have a spare down the road. Then, sell one boot dagger. Yes, it is rare, but you probably can’t carry one legally where you live, so having two isn’t gonna do much for you. I suspect it’s sale alone would cover just about any UF you would want. Then, when the new white box arrives and momma starts to break it off in you, put her mind at ease by say yes, you brought in a new knife, but you got rid of two so that you could. She’ll think you are a responsible, good boy and likely reward you with red panty night.

So if you need to rehome the HDFK and or the boot dagger, I can be reached through PM anytime......

Clever and diabolical. The post starts out with some good helpful advice and ends with "I'll take your boot dagger"!!
fatfrog fatfrog better put a lock on those.
Joking aside, I agree about finding a way to make this pre-order work rather than holding out for a shiv.

Yeah a Shiv (both OG and integral) is most likely a pipedream at this point but one can still dream haha
