My old faithful Benchmade and a Camillus TL-29 that I found at a garage sale this morning.



The BM is 21 yrs old and cost me $5 at a pawn shop 2-3 yrs ago. The $3 TL is approx 75 yrs old and still has the lock-release instructions clearly inked on the screwdriver/wire-stripper blade. The TL will soon become a drawer-queen while the Benchmade will continue to be a daily workhorse. T-A

Today is my son’s birthday, and every year I carry this boker kwaiken. By pure luck the guy behind the counter years ago sold me one that has a 2009 serial number, his birth year.

Pairing my Favorite Traditional with my Favorite Modern

Nice pairing, John!
Is the Delica VG-10? (‘shadows’ on the blade made me wonder … )

 

[JohnDF]

Is the Delica VG-10?

It's actually K390.
I replaced the handles with black ones and replaced the screws with heat treated ones... and I obviously replace the clip too.

Ha! I was pretty sure it was one of the “special” steel releases, cause VG-10 don’t do that!
(I was gonna guess HAP40)
Nice little mod! … no wonder it’s your favorite!

Ya, the K390 cuts like the dickens.
