I made a mistake when I planted that bamboo in my backyard a couple of years ago: I didn’t make any barrier around it. Now I have a constant source of material for cutting - chopping. :person_facepalming:
I also added the CH Sultan to my wishlist.
Today I am carrying a Kizer Begleiter. A really nice, slim profile with VG-10 blade steel. Love thumb studs on slim profile knives.
Initially the pivot action was too stiff, but loosened up after a few days of fidgeting with it. The pivot screw must have Locktite on it, because it will not budge.
This aint going to fit in a pocket.
It is however going to fit under my Left armpit.
And it is doing nothing in regard to stopping me for trying working with that Kydex stuff, cuz the Leather sheath while fine and all, well i like to be a little different.
And kydex i can tailor to my carry system. ( CC / under jacket )
TBH i am also looking at other grip scales, but that is not going to happen anytime soon.
PS on my 27” 1080 screen, that pic are slightly larger than the actual size.
A Benchmade 570-1 Presidio II. S30V. Light weight for its size, my favorite blade shape, but maybe just a tiny bit too large... still, one of my favorites.
Knives with holes like that in the blade, in my ( raging ) mind which like to play with words i have named those sewing needle knives.
Elongated holes like those do not make it better.
Other than that the general blade shape are fine.
SAK Deluxe Climber, or Camper. Can’t recall the REI item and I’ve never managed to send my spare SwissChamp to Pop’s place here in Los Angeles, otherwise, it would be that.
