Hump day carry.

Good golly - that Bud Nealy has to be one of the most aesthetically pleasing fixies I've ever seen!

Thanks! I've had this one for years. It's Bud's Aikuchi model. He made some pretty cool knives.

You must be very fond of that Pro-tech. Very consistent carry. Looks very comfortable in the hand.

I am, Tim. The Malibu has pretty much replaced the William Henry I carried regularly for close to 10 years. It does what I need it to do, and does it well. The Scarperia Zuava I picked up in Italy pairs well with it. Sometimes it is just black or white.

Both of those [chef's kiss] are outstanding. I'm already on the Kaparra wait list to be notified if it goes back in stock...

Thank you! I highly recommend the Kapara, it’s excellent in the kitchen and as an edc.

This USA-made Bear & Son 778 is starting to grow on me. As others mentioned in a different thread, their traditional patterns seem a little off, but I kinda like this modern one. I understand that the company history published on the manufacturer’s website is designed to evoke just such a reaction, but the idea that it is produced in a place where any type of industry and employment is much needed does indeed appeal to me. That’s part of why I like Okapi, too.

This thumb-hole version of the Ka-Bar Dozier ain’t bad either, now that I’ve figured out how to hold it so that it opens smoothly:

(Excuse the lousy photos)
