What Buck are you carrying today?

[mill428]

Another new + old sentimental carry for me today. Fairly new 112 slim select and I took MT_Pokt 's advice and made a new little badge out of sterling silver for my Grandpa's 305. Finished it out nicely. Now I'll have figure out how to get his initials on it. Both are in my pockets today.

What are the scales made of on this one ?

And the other side

Koa. It's a hardwood native to Hawaii.

They look different in this picture than the others you’ve posted. The Koa looks fantastic!

Yeah. Different lighting makes it look completely different. pjsjr posted four or five pics earlier in the "What 112 to get now" thread, (I think) and shows the differences lighting makes.

I'm starting to prefer the drop point over the clip.

That’s a great tribute to your grandpa. You might try asking a jeweler to engrave it.

That was my thought too. We have a few in our area that could do it. Every time I carry it, I'm amazed how tiny it is. But my usual "small" knives are large stockman's like a 301 or a large trapper. I've found the 305 is handy for small jobs like cleaning your fingernails better. Probably why Grandpa carried it. That and opening mail and sharpening pencils... One thing was sure, and I carry on the tradition, he was never without a pocketknife.

I was trying to decide if the custom shop pricetag is worth it for orange g10. It's really hard to pay 3x (almost 4x with the different blade steel) the price of this normal aluminum one just for g10. I don't think it's happening.... I'll just enjoy this one. It is a sweet knife. The slim 110 probably won't get out nearly as much anymore wuth the spitfire around! Lol!

Glad you got out to a live concert with your son in law. 7 Bridges really put on a good show, we sure enjoyed it. My ears (which ring all the time from tinnitus) have been at warp level from the volume, but have finally settled down now - I’d go again, it was that good to me. OH

I'm not venturing out today, just putzing around the house. I have these to choose from...

It might be a sin ... I've been using a 484 the last few days..
