Ignoring the dust, do we like after market custom overlooks? Came across this guy from a whatnot seller who did it, and I couldn't resist.

It’s in the 90’s here today and I wasn’t working this morning so I went with my lightest possible carry!

Custom purple cerakoted overlook and a custom flame anodized base line bolt action both from Big Idea WhatNot auctions. Love them both!

This design is amazing. Glad I added it to my EDC

Another Whatnot delivery day!

Today a Ti bead anodized blue by Beans himself. It's wonderful! Plus the new stickers are awesome!

I am a sucker for blue. A sucker for blue anodized titanium. So I had to jump on this bead.

I've got a nice black and blue KeyBar setup. So I knew this bead would be perfect for it. Black and Blue carbon camo KeyBar. Blue anno screws. Blue anno clip (I applied flame anno myself on this). Blue anno letter opener. And now the signed Blue anno bead for the lanyard pull. Combined with the blue anno Ti Pocket bit. Throw in Sub Zero paracord that used to be laces. It's great!

I've had this desire to add a scale to my Ti Arto for a long time, but just recently got a laser engraved and figured the time was now! I put an 85mm scale on the barrel. The section on the threads is a little hard to decipher but overall I'm pleased with how it turned out.

When I tell you Dylan crushed it with this pen,
I mean he CRUSHED IT! Check out that sweet Whatnot handle on the box too!

Today was a good day to bust out some of my favorite Stonewashed gear!

GMT watch, rock carved Overlook, US Pocket Pro, and the Ti Tanto Jigbone Lookout!

I just love this combo! Big Ideas stonewashed is freaking excellent!

Matched it all up with my boots, my belt, key clip, bracelet, ring, and sheath for the Lookout. A gray day in the best way possible!

Hey all! This is Nate from Lost Dutchman Leather. In case you didn’t know, the minis fit nicely in the Big Finn wallet. This is the copper bolt action pen which I got recently and absolutely love. A lot of mini pens are a bit too skinny for my taste but this has just the right amount of heft.

At the request of /u/Pale-Highlight-6895 here is my purple Big I trio! The overlook just showed up on Wednesday, the other two I’ve had for a while. They really kill it with this custom cerakoted stuff!!

Thanks to u/StrandedRat1 I picked up this beautiful Blue Camo Overlook. I had already scooped up a Blue Camo bead on a previous Whatnot auction, so to get another chance at the knife was a no brainer!

Blue anno, bronze anno, and stonewashed camo. Love the look! Perfectly matches up with the blue G10 scales and blue camo bead on the Drop Point Lookout.

Beans signed the box and the blade itself. A true 1 of 1. Love it!

I've been carrying one fixed, one folder for many years now. Over the course of the years the blades have changed. But recently I've been stuck on this combo. The Overlook and the Lookout.

I have a pretty good line up of similar builds to carry together.

Brand new to me Blue Camo Overlook paired with the Drop Point Lookout with blue G10, and the Blue Camo bead. All wrapped in Tenpesti Cobalto leather.

Fully custom rock carved Stonewashed Overlook paired with the true 1 of 1 Jigbone carved Tanto Lookout, with the Stonewashed bead. All wrapped in Horween Cypress Light Gray leather.

Pete's Pirate Life edition acid washed Overlook paired with the full black out Lookout, with the Big Idea ranger patch lanyard pull. Signed by Brantley, Joe, and Chad! Wrapped in Wickett and Craig black VegTan skirting leather.

And the Tequila Sunrise Duo Tone Overlook paired with a Clip Point Lookout with orange G10 scales, and a Brass Damascus bead. Wrapped in Horween Brown Waxed Flesh.

Without scrolling to the gear reveal pictures, can you guess the gear based on the fades alone? Lol.

Been rocking these Brave Star 14.5oz Shogun Die Hard Double Fronts pretty regularly. They were pants, but I turned them into shorts for the summer time. Jorts schmorts! I know, I know. But I'm digging them. And the Texas summer is already heating up! I'm addicted to the pocket layout. Couldn't go the whole summer without my double front pockets.

This Big Idea gear is always with me. And it's really created some cool wear and fades on the Selvage. I love it!
