A bunch of other pics and projects I’ve been working on

When I’m in the zone I don’t post here because FUN so if I don’t reply I’m just lost in the work so shoot me a DM and I’ll reply when I can.
Until next TIME I’ll be buying and modding BID and all other things I can because FUN.

What do you all think?
What BID tool(s) would you like to see customized next?
I’m just trying different things to get different results so just learning on the job so if you all are interested in having this done to your own BID tools?

Fallout Ano beads had 4 more looks before I was like ok these are cool now and stopped.
Everything else was just heated and quenched differently.

Always doing what not to do and look at what I’m able to create because of it.
Has anyone seen Ti with this look that’s naturally created?

When everyone is following the same path I always wonder off and come back with my own experience.

Get those pledges finalized so you get yours asap.

Had a vet appointment for my dogs 8:30am so I took the day off to just walk and play with my boys and hit all our old parks and our favorite breweries and restaurants. We lived in Monterey for 5yrs and they boys became know well locally and are still remembered by the ones that are still there.
I don’t drink but I locked my keys in my truck so I grabbed 1 while I waited for AAA to save the day so I could get my food and continue our walk.
Stone is really a kid so he likes letting boys and girls just walk him around and get him pet and all the attention.

But still right on time.
Not BID but me. I’m either early or fashionably late.
I’ve been saying and telling myself I was going to back this since day 1 and just got around to it a few minutes ago.

How many of you guys have them in the way and any plans to mod or keep stock?

The Ken Onion Kershaw has been with me for 21yrs. Grabbed it at Walmart for 30 bucks on my way to a Cat Sponsored Diesel Tech Program and I wish I bought 10 more but I wasn’t a working when I was at school but have been one since I was 12yrs old so 29yrs as a mechanic.

Well I can’t leave anything alone and had to do this before the homie Pale did. He always stealing my ideas before I get them out of my head.
Now I have a custom custom pen and a Black DLC Base Line

Title says it all and I use everything and I have to carry my wallet because then I’ll be thinking I lost it or forgot it somewhere all day.

What do you guys think?
This but without the spelled out BID above the MiUSA logo. It looks good with it spelled out but won’t on skin so keeping it bigger so it’ll look nice and crispy.
Might have it done so the can has condensation like you see in the commercials

Swapped parts as soon as I got them out the plastic sleeves.
The black clip wasn’t very visible on the black base and just pops on the stonewashed. It also turns stonewashed looking at angles so that’s cool and unexpected.

Gray on the black base just makes it pop so this is exactly why I buy 2-4 of the same pen to make it mine and not what came out of the box.

Also just swapped screws and not the caps as well as the bolts for a cleaner look to my eye.

Raw EDC Click is going to get the Scoped Out treatment for a discord bro that recently started a new job so got to have him set up with a 1 of 1.
He’s into boots and high end workwear and heritage clothing just like Pale and I so you can see a pattern here and that’s every road leads to more spending and buying if the best money can buy and it’s a fun road to take.
Pics at the end are what was in the other box that a different discord bro sent me with a couple freebies and the shirts and pants I bought.
High end or quality to me doesn’t mean the most expensive because none of this is but for the money it’s just like BID better than the more expensive high end products. The best at affordable prices makes spending money that much easier.

To keep from making multiple post for each item I did today I’ll just drop the rest here.
Probably jump back into leather work so this is it for a bit.

Well I did a thing and here’s the results.

Did a Scale Swap with Pale so had to take some nudes while I wait.
Now my modifier mind is going wild with Big Ideas so I’ll take some measurements make some drawings and come up with a set of my own scales.
First thought is brass or copper backing plate with some leather or denim micarta over the top denim. I like manzanita and it just looks great so maybe a set of those. Who knows but something will come of this.

When you want a Chaves knife but you’re a BID guy.
Honestly I just love the Chaves pocket clips so I could never justify buying a fancy folder but this is right up my alley and the BID Ti Pocket Knife II is in my opinion just as if not better than a Chaves.
Couldn’t decide so I picked up both.

I’m not one to switch out what I carry other than normal or light carry day and pen if the week or how ever long it takes me to remember to switch it out.

What’s new for today is the TPT, Ti Utility, and Bit Bar everything else is the rest of my normal carry. USA Pocket Pro is new since I gave away my Brass Click EDC.
Wallet, lid, and magnetic vape cover always stay the same.

With what I have in my pockets I can tackle lots of different chores and jobs. I’m a mechanic so I’m never far from a full toolbox but these pocket tools save me so much time and I like having cool shit and to me this is Peak and BID design, machining, and usability can’t be matched.

Damn I love the Whatnot Wednesdays because it starts my week off GREAT!!

Really wanted that Breans Sniper Green TPT but went a little too high for me so I picked up a stock one that I’ll modify myself.

Grabbed a Sancho because BIC refills are plentiful and free plus I always need tweezers and a toothpick. Have 2 Lil Sanchos on the way and that reminds me to see if I can change from stonewashed to brass.

Bit Bar Inline to work along with the Bit Bar II and my inline will be my lighter day carry.

Hoodie in July because I live in Fog City California and some sort of outer layer is always needed.

Notebooks won on the first Givey on last weeks Whatnot and everyone needs a nice bandanna.

Now onto the most anticipated item in the order the Ti Utility Knife. If you asked me 3-4wks ago I would’ve said no way I’d buy a fancy utility knife but then I ended up using a Milwaukee utility knife a bunch and it worked great but I’d never EDC one. Now that I could guy math myself into one I ordered it the first chance I got and it’s a SO GOOD!!!
Basically a slightly smaller Ti Pocket Knife II. With a little use it’ll flick out like a like a 400 dollar folder. Out the box it’ll flick open fine but the lack of blade weight makes me use a little more force or finger range if motion but still the most impressive Utility Knife I’ve ever handled or seen.
If you’re on the fence just pull the trigger and be happily surprised a utility knife can be so good and cool. None of your buddies or coworkers will have one either.

Cleaning up the work shop and made a Big Idea Drawer.
Have a Whatnot order headed my way so updates soon.
Only had 1 BID pen a few months ago so it’s grown fast. Just gave that pen away so I’ll need to order another Brass Click EDC Pen because now I have no brass pens and that’s not good.

The Sassy Pry has arrived and out of the order the thing I instantly grabbed and put on my Stash comb.

Shots of the 5k Givey Leather Bundles and Copper Bracelets. Last solo bundle is winner 11s and they got an assorted leather bundle that’s just slightly different than everyone else’s.

The rest of the Whatnot order that had my first Givey win Sassy Pry and Snipe on the Lookout so 2 first. 2 pocket pros 1 USA 1 Raw and a pack of notebooks.

Last but not least the SKULLET!!

I normally don’t care about my Bday and never celebrate so to keep myself young and honestly to make others laugh and for me to see the reactions I decided to rock a skullet for my 41st or 14th bday but don’t plan to shave it off anytime soon.Normally shaved bald so it’s not like I changed much.

I did try to shave 5k BID into the side but it didn’t work like I thought.
