Today's carry

Benchmade limited mini Adira in Thermocline G-Carta & 417 Fact in Paua. Dragonfly Scales did amazing work on the Fact scales. There is a window that shows the Fact's unique Omega spring. In keeping with the Greek i refer to this spring as an Omicron-Omega spring. There is not enough room in the Fact scales for the typical Omega spring so they've add a coil spring

WW1 bomb stuck at rectrum

A 24-year-old man showed up at Ranqueil Hospital in Toulouse, France earlier this year complaining of severe discomfort and telling staff he had an object stuck inside him. When doctors took him in for surgery, they realized it wasn't a toy at all but a World War I artillery shell from around 1918, roughly 8 inches long, lodged in his rectum.

Because nobody knew if the shell was live, the hospital partially evacuated the ER, called in bomb disposal experts and firefighters and set up a security cordon until specialists declared it safe and removed it. The man reportedly came through surgery fine, but police are now looking at whether he can be charged for possessing Category A munitions, while local media very politely describe the likely reason the shell ended up there as obvious.

NKD this is much larger than i was expecting for a paring knife

Got a good deal at 40% off, a free knife roll/apron & swag bag from the Steel & Smoke Show at the Factory store. My girlfriend is 5'3" with small hands & has already claimed it as hers. Size comparison with old timey Benchmade 710.

Went to the Steel & Smoke Show yesterday

Fun show, between downpours. New news from the factory tour - knives are getting an alphanumeric serial number on the blade. The first to get them is the mini Adire & they have already shipped to dealers. This is an attempt to fight counterfeits. The placement is where the old patent used to be.

Shane Sibert wasn't part of the show but showed up & i got to hang out with him for a whlie, great guy really down to Earth.
