MidwayUSA sent me a new arrival notice today.

I already have one shipped...

Ebay!

Old latin acronym for 'Somebody elses junk online'.

I once received a knife I was unhappy with and contacted the dealer.
They said no problem, and sent me a return shipping label pronto. I put it on their box and got a full credit for another knife.
Easy peasy.

I love my spyderco sharpmaker with my CBN, coarse, fine and extra fine triangular rods. I am thinking of buying the galley-v for a 10° option for my fishing filet knives and some kitchen sharpening... but I would like an additional coarse option on the rods. I would like to find out if the separatel...

Opened up and de-winterized mtn. camp yesterday.
Couple buds came in off the trout steams and we had elk burgers and bear burgers for lunch...

Maybe there are a few posts missing here since the re-rack? I've been carrying mine for two or three weeks. Love it, PM2s are my fave I think. I actually was bummed when I thought I gave it a couple of bad scratches by something else in my pocket, but the next day the scratches were gone. That DLC c...

I like Corrosion X. Highly mobile on the metal surface and has a polar molecular bond to metal that can be best described as similar to magnetic. It resists removal by detergent, alcohol, heat, and friction etc. Also said to be bio-safe in quantities that might be transferred to food from a knife......

Needed a new top-handle today...
Got the mid-grade of Stihl's three offerings...
It'll do for this old retired (Certified) arborist...

Super-shallow sheepshead... usually a much more wary quarry than a sheepshead on vertical structure. Off a rockpile at the mouth of a no name Creek, about 6 miles East of Saint Mark's lighthouse.. My rod tip is in the sand... as close as we could get my bud's Redfisher 16... Rock in the background.....

1st day of fishing for 2024 for me, on the panhandle coast in St Marks area. (Tinytown directly south of Tallahassee) Caught a 5 fish limit of sea trout in a short half day trip. Partner added one and a black drum... https://i.postimg.cc/85hX29hS/20240228-172347.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/Y0vGGKbc/GIF...

Fresh in... And just in time to take with me to FLA tomorrow for a few days fishing. It's perfect. Falls open and falls shut with no flick of the rest or touching the blade. No lock stick or blade play... Giggity... https://i.postimg.cc/BZdtGtFw/20240226-172826.jpg Couple buddies down there each rec...

Speaking of jeans...
I made it through the day prepping some trail tarps, ridgelines, and prusiks in a favorite pair, and my Tenacious matches up well with the tigter pockets.
Match made in heaven...

I go for more practical sharpness tests myself. I mean which material are you more likely to use an axe on? https://dubz.live/c/ea7305 :rofl Ya, I tried but I was only borderline paper cutting (loose magazine pages) sharp. The apex seemed like it was 30° per side and I just couldn't cut it down eno...

Sticky sharp for small axe: Able to process a coal bucket of fat wood and still be able to pick up a small piece of firewood off the ground by sticking it in the end. Across the grain. In a knot. 1/2 bevel deep. :usflag https://i.postimg.cc/gkHX3s94/20240217-143133.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/brz8PQ6N/...

Still growing but planning on putting them all to use...
2 or 3 of these will be gifted but have several more in the pipeline...
I'll cool my jets sooner or later...

Not the droids I've been waiting for, but gifts for a couple of my Fla. fishing buddies... I'm headed down there early next week and one of them is letting me stay at his place and the other one said I could use his boat all I wanted if he couldn't fish with me.
