And the rest of today’s carry.

USA NitroV Lookout

Bit Bar II

Bit Bar Inline Max

Brass Click EDC

Along with the US Bolt and some CNC goodies.

The Big Idea Crew knocked the USA Bolt out of the park. It’s my first pen with the 13 lines but not my first bolt. The action on this out the box is smooth like water.

The Damascus items are well just beautiful and the bolt I got is almost perfect blue and purple in other light.

Shirt is very nice

Heavyweight cotton and just has a well made feel to it. I’m 5’10 225 wearing an XL and it fits me just how I like them too. Not tight though the shoulders and arms but also not to baggy at the body.

Picked this up off eBay the other day and finally got around to taking it apart to check for info on who did the work but no dice.

This PKII is in my Top 5 nicest folders and also the least expensive. If you’re on the fence just buy it and be pleasantly surprised and impressed because it beats others that are 2-3 times as expensive.

Took apart using the Bit Bar Inline Max.

I can’t wait for these to show up. I went with black and stonewashed. My bday is end of July so fingers crossed it shows up the 24th

What did you guys go with?

Stone’s reaction to the Cat Noise during the WhatNot is awesome to see but using my phone for whatnot viewing makes that hard to share so here’s my dude Stone aka Stoney Bologne, Stone Bologn, Stone Cabron, and now Cat Noise Dog.

My other ride or die Yote aka Couyon Coyote, Yodster, YoteYod could care less about a cat unless it’s after his frisbee.

They are both Big Idea Dogs.

Oh and I got to the gym and did yard/beach work because all I grow is sand and weeds.

I’ll swing back around and post pics of what that SOC looks like.

Thought I’d show the difference between the 3 pairs I have.

1 very well worn pair that started with a JG last plastic puff toe that’s been defeated, 1 new pair of SCT last, and another new pair of SCT last with comp toe. Reg toe 12.5s comp toe 13s

Couple shots of the comp toes since I need to get them broke in asap.

This is how my boots like 95% of the time and I only clean them up for posts here or patina project.

To me this is how you patina a boot or leather and not by using conditioners because those are for keeping the leather conditioned and doesn’t create patina but can change the look of the boot but I wouldn’t call that patina.

What do you all think about what is and isn’t PATINA?
