I was thinking the same thing as I’m seeing all of these cool 15s popping up today. I should have bought some when they were available.Exactly Paul! If I would have known now what I didn't know then, I would have stocked up.
Hindsight is always 20/20 so I've been told.
Those two are amazing. I love a nice shadow patternToting these two pens for Friday.
Great pairing Jack!Have a good Friday folks
Glad you got your BPS fixed blade, how are you liking it? Hope they are able to make it through all this and stay in business. 
I'd give that Puma 4 stars as well José!I carry today this Puma 4 Star in Olive wood.
Well done, Jeff! Both are certainly unique and a great backstory on a rescue and rebuild!My first experience with a Swinden key
Oh, man! That's the spirit, Todd! Great looking gear, hope you can get out soon!
Great looking relief for the WCLF!
Nice! That barlow haunts me Gary. Either I'm going to buy one or make one like it.
Thanks Rob, and no stainless for me, not saying I don't like stainless, just that carbon is my preference. This one caught me off guard because I keep desiccant packets in my knife rolls and albeit minor I'm glad I caught it early.The knives I usually buy often have some rust and light pitting on them when they come in the mail !Maybe we should convert to stainless.
That is a nice model you show.

Yeah Paul, living in Michigan I have humidity issues at certain times of the year. One day they're rust/spot free and then bam! I'm doing the same as you. Still love carbon steel thoThanks Rob, and no stainless for me, not saying I don't like stainless, just that carbon is my preference. This one caught me off guard because I keep desiccant packets in my knife rolls and albeit minor I'm glad I caught it early.
Half the fun of vintage knives is bringing them back into use. Nice save on the Russell

The lamb is the king and the deer are running away for fear of losing their antlers.

Stunning shot of your Lambsfoot beauty to go along with your molle strapped Ukrainian FB; excellent pairing!

Such a great pattern Thanks Dennis, I'm liking the BPS a lot, it's a really useful size, and so a very versatile carryGreat pairing Jack!
Me too, my friend, I checked their site the other day, and they are sold out at the moment. They certainly have their hands full right now 
That looks like a very useful pairing Dennis, nice composition too buddyTodays carry...
Lovely picture Gary
Thanks very much for the interest
As far as I'm concerned, I think very highly of this compact knife and it delivers something different, but I'm not familiar with the Benchmade so I can't directly compare them. The F&F is extremely good, can't fault it, being linerless it's a lightweight knife in the pocket 40g whereas the same sized GEC 83 would be over 50g depending on scales. However, it feels very sturdy and is up for a heavier type of cutting task than its weight would suggest. Half-stop, which surprised me and it has those grooves (gimping??) on the spine for thumb grip. Pinch open but strong pull which is good, not found mine hitting the lanyard tube at all- but I tend not to slam shut knives. The scale slabs are very nicely rounded so it feels good in the hand, an important must for any knife. The pins and lanyard tube were all smooth and flush adding to the pleasant feel.
