For once, I’m going to keep a nice ancient coin naked. It’s a big hefty boy. 33.5 grams. 32mm. Almost every other ancient coin I have are less than half the weight.

Nothing naked and will not buy any naked gold

Do your worst

The addiction is getting out of control.

Found this Extrema Ratio in a luxury boutique in Japan. #18 made for the actual #18 / 20 of the Lamborghini Reventon. Don’t know how it got separated from the car but it’s really cool to know it came in the car.

I’m very excited to crossover some of my NGC and new purchases. I hope they won’t take as long as NGC.

If a gas station knife dreamed of what it could be when it grows up, this would be exactly it. Sixleaf SL-104. Solid Zircuti handle. Yes Zircuti. Feathered Damascus with a nice edge. Very substantial in hand and the action is smooth and solid. Drop shut and well centered. Runs on ball bearing. I broke it in after a week and it’s a good flicker now. I never thought I’d pay that much ($600) for a Sixleaf but it’s such a pleasant surprise for the quality I got. I know Sixleaf is the budget sister brand of the budget brand Two Sun. But this is a one off to show what they can do. Not sponsored, bought and took a risk with my own money. I can’t find any more for sale.

It’s recovered off the coast of Vietnam in the 1980s. For comparison to the Kraak shipwreck bowl in recent posts.
