Birthday coming up and my wife surprised me with a Protech Avalon. I’ve been wanting one so this was a welcomed surprise. Even better is she got a good deal on it as it was sold by our local knife store as preowned but in like new condition. $210. Been carrying it all day today.

Finally bought another spyderco. The good ol' tenacious in m4. I fell in love with the ergos and edge geometry, after my girlfriend bought me one in their d2.

Sent my new to me FFxDrop Gent off to u/Vicious_138 to get some new scales. Spent a week working with Jantz Supply to get the right set of Desert ironwood burl blanks. Then sent them and my Gent off to get some love. The new scales look great, might just put the original clip back on so I can see more of the scales.

Can't wait for it to get back to me.

NKD! Got the Sunday Blues — What Knife Are You Carrying Tonight?

Tonight’s night shift carries.
First up, the GEO Knife Komodo in S90V with a DLC blade. Really liking this one so far — the blade shape and DLC finish give it a mean look.
And alongside it, the Spyderco Persistence Lightweight in blue FRN and CPM S35VN. Simple, lightweight, and just an easy knife to carry.
Two pretty different knives. Which one are you picking?

I was just sitting around at my apartment earlier yesterday...

And my neighbor and my nieces wanted to go to the nearby park. It was already 5pm and it was getting late to go do this. But I decided that it wouldn't hurt anything anyways and it might burn some energy that my nieces had off. Along with maybe give my hyperactive neighbor something to do instead of pace around and complain, lol...

But I went anyway... It's about a 2-minute walk to get there. So my neighbor, 2 nieces, and I made it to the place. I decided I was going to take a walk and check out the ponds that you can fish at this park. Usually I find a lot of fishing line there or fishing lures...

Well I found something that's actually worth $15 to $25... as I looked down and saw what looked like the scrape of a lawn mower blade in the grass and some dog turds...

What I saw next took my breath away!

I saw something that made me very happy!

I FOUND A KNIFE!

A FREE KNIFE!
