Before everyone comes with the torches and pitchforks, these aren’t all for me and they won’t be scalped. My brother, my nephew, my brother in law and I all have an agreement that if we find good stuff we hit the group text to see if the others want you to grab something for them. This is the only time I’ve ever been the first customer there. I walked down the aisle right when the chick was emptying the last box. So this was the haul. And I left some behind. Probably get a bit of hate and that’s fine. We all try to help each other out because it’s usually picked clean when we get into town. When I make the hour and half drive to the closest town with diecast there often isn’t much to choose from. So this time, I got to do the cleaning.

My black hardware kit came in today so I took my Spy27 out of its AWT scales to prep it to acid wash this weekend, and I thought I might as well see what it looks like with some take off Salt scales and a random pocket clip I had laying around. I’m thinking I may just run it like this for a bit. I’m generally not a fan of satin blades, but I do think black and satin is just a classic look.

Halfway to the weekend. What’s everyone on them got today?

What does everyone have with them today?

Went with another from the Salt series to close out a rainy week. What’s everyone got on them today?

Of course after I finally pull the trigger on a Dragonfly, the same day it shows up in my mailbox, DLT announces the Cruwear version. Ah well. That’s how it goes. May have to grab one anyway. Not as cool as OD green but way better than the pink

As much as I love all of my AWT, sometimes good ol’ FRN gets the win. I know it’s not for everyone, but I dig it.

Got one of the chiefs running the show at work. What’s everyone got with them today?

Back to the grind. What did everyone go with today?

What’s everyone got on them today?

I was sent these scales and asked to provide my feedback to the maker. Well, I think they’re pretty damn cool and figured I share. Fit great, same smooth action and centering as the stock G10 or my AWT. The texture is similar to G10, but not as aggressive. Definitely a great option. Just might have to see how they do with a little Rit treatment.
Well worth the $10 on Etsy. u/JyJelly17, Thanks again man, you do great work.

A while back I sent my 20+ year old Mini Grip in to Lifesharp to see what they would do about the worn out serrations. They ended up swapping out the old 154cm blade for a new S30v. So I figured it deserved a little love in the scale dept. Snagged these from Flytanium on the cheap and added a LNW clip that I won in a GAW. Should be good for another 23 years.

I decided to get back into traditional slip joints again and picked up a four new Case knives. I was extremely disappointed with the first three. But this one, this is what I was expecting. No blade play makes a huge difference. Fit and finish is great. Has an actual edge to start with. And no blunt points on either blade. It’s been many, many years since I’ve purchased a Case, is sloppy blade play pretty common? They sent me a mailer so I could send them in, but it seems kinda crazy to buy a new knife just to have to send it right back.

Pretty stoked to finally add some 20cv to the line up. As usual, AWT and LynchNW didn’t disappoint.

Snagged my first Wixco for $45 and so far I’m digging it. Will definitely be checking them out a bit more

Couldn’t pass up the deal on this one. Figured it would be a good way to try out the 20cv

While the extra 20 hours of OT a week is nice, I’m ready to get back to just working 5 tens. The knife budget takes a big hit, but the extra time off is nice. Figured I’d close it out with one of my all time favorites. Hope everyone is having a kick ass start to the weekend.

Certainly not as extensive as many on here, but I’m happy with it. Pretty happy with how the Military 2 turned out. Might pick up something LW next.

A few errands and some R&R on my one day off. If I get into anything that needs more than the Lil Native today, I’m doing it wrong.
