Your newest addition:traditionals of course!

It is the standard California Proposition 65 warning label put on anything that contains or may contain one or more chemicals from a list of chemicals that are or may be potential hazards. This law seems like a case of possibly good intentions gone awry....gotta love the American legal system and bureaucracy...
Yes... .but only as much as the Australian one...🤨🥴

I got a great package in the mail today from my buddy Jeremy sbh06 sbh06 ! I had been admiring his pen slips and asked him for one and then this shows up. He won’t let me pay and then he adds this amazing gunstock from CK knifeswapper knifeswapper land. I love burlap Micarta! My pen fits perfectly. The leather is expertly done and looks beautiful. What a great gift. Thank you Jeremy!

Happy to oblige, Jon.
Let me jump on the Jeremy train.
He was gracious in his gifting these to me. They too arrived today.View attachment 2135850
Glad they arrive d okay and hope they will fit your needs, Bob. I’d be remiss if I didn’t also sincerely thank you for the in ear monitors you recently sent this way. They made a huge difference when playing drums last weekend.

Congrats on the new gear gents!! Jeremy is known to send rogue gifts. I have a whole cow's worth of leather goods from him. Kudos to you sbh06 sbh06

I actually like it a lot. The action (for lack of a better word) is maybe the best I've personally encountered on a friction folder. It has about the same amount of resistance as a 6-pull slip joint, but since it's not a slip joint, it has a very different, uniform feel to it.
In terms of the size, the 25 is what I have. For me, it is a great carrying size. While it is a little past the threshold of public scariness, its sort of rustic and whimsical unconventional design make it easy to take out in public.
Size comparison, from top to bottom, Buck 110, Nontron 25, Opinel 8, Case large trapper.

Thanks for the info. Opinel’s No. 8 is the largest I prefer for pocket carry (I’ve always found the No. 7 to be a nice sweet spot between the 6 and 8), but that Nontron No. 25 doesn’t seem too much larger. I’ve been looking at the standard clog handle, which might make it a little bulkier, but worth a try I think. I may get the (available-in-the-US) carbon No. 25 clog handle and see how it goes.

How does the thinness/slicy-ness compare to Opinel?
 
Benchmade 319 Proper. Just arrived today from BHQ. Problem is I ordered the 318 that had the clip point. This has grown on me though and I’m keeping it. And since they are on sale I ordered a 318…again. Hopefully I get it this time. Knife addiction is a sickness.

Good decision - when in doubt buy all options. That looks like the perfect knife to filet a small trout.
