New tools!
Liam Hoffman camp hatchet + sandblasted kephart & HB. Note, IMO I'm finding that the grip on the sandblasted micarta is pretty freaking spectacular!
I am definitely looking at this hatchet through new eyes! I love this trio overall. The sandblasted micarta is great.
Slate Trio
Beautiful! I love that edk.
I apologize, but I couldn't pass up the trio opportunity!!!

Some great additions today from you guys with Phillips slate blues, Goobers drop points, and Tods old school forged tools. There is a lot of interesting diversity there.
Here is another shot of three recent ones of mine: ASP, Hiking Buddy & Runt

That's an old school emerald Shadetree. It glows in the dark too.

I love that evergreen commando runt. Have you had a chance to use it much? Any thoughts?
I haven't been inclined to get a runt, yet,
but if you ever want to let that one go, let me know. I can't resist the evergreen shadetree and black pins.

M4 - love the slate. I'll agree, the EDK is my favorite of that trio, but they're all awesome.

GB - how could we get tired of looking at that boot? And the Spyderco Bushcrafter is a great knife.
Why exactly are you apologizing?
Great looking family. I'm really needing (yes, needing) a Recluse and Leuku.
Three great pickups there Phil. The Asp is mesmerizing.
I don't know, I see a couple sweet blades in the background in addition to the trio of hats.

My trio for today: Bark River Kalahari Sportsman, Bushcrafter, and Barry Wood Mk1 folder
The Bushcrafter needs no introduction here. This particular one is 1/8 O1 with a tapered tang and Oreo (black) Shadetree burlap over natural and white pinstripe. It is my lightest Bushcrafter at 4.8 ounces.
The Kalahari Sportsman is the first Bark River knife that I have purchased in the last year. I have been looking for a nice stainless filet knife for a while when this model was announced months ago. I pre-ordered one through a dealer with Shadetree coconut fiber over a thick white liner. I was going for a cracked open coconut look with the shell over the white meat. When that knife arrived, it didnt live up to my expectations due to a couple of manufacturing flaws. I notified the dealer (DLT Trading) that it didnt live up to my expectations and they asked me to return it. They tried to get it fixed, but it just wasnt meant to be. They offered me a refund or another knife, so I chose the black carbon fiber. This knife is very well made from the handle contouring to the blade grind and razor sharp edge. The design is excellent and S35VN is a good steel choice. I am very happy with this knife.
The last of my trio is a Barry Wood Mk1 folder. I have read about these knives for years, but never seen one in person. I found it in a display among many used knives at a nice gun store that I had not visited in quite a while. This knife is probably 40 years old give or take. The unique thing about this knife is the way it is opened or closed. The opposing handle scales are rotated 360 degrees around the large pivot pin to open or close. The handles lock together with a detent pin that is very secure. This locking system makes it impossible for the blade to fold up on you accidentally. This knife wears black micarta scales and shows a little pocket wear that tells me that this was a cherished user by the previous owner. I am sure that he would be happy to know that another knife guy is going to enjoy using it and take good care of it.

that MK1 is pretty snazzy, but that Bushcrafter really stands out among the three.
