https://i.ibb.co/CbcV6y2/20210606-133333.jpg I just couldn't wait another year to go... The Military 2 is great, except it has a different choil. Sharper and deeper, like the PM2. I hope they revert that change. There were some Amazing pieces. Specifically, the choilless Shaman. If they make a Salt...

I finally clear the time to make it to Bladeshow and I wake up to this... https://i.ibb.co/GtQ5yGz/20210604-185733.jpg But you do have a spare tire of course and still made it?! :o (hope so anyway!! :) ) That is such bad luck. I bet only a space saver spare, or worse, a can of ineffective foam gloo...

I'm loving the way the blade turned out. Does it have a handle under the FRN, or just a tang?

Coincidentally, Fred just finished a custom knife for me and It's on the way here.

I hope CBP doesn't give me any trouble. :rolleyes: :p

Nice one and definitely needs lanyard for pinky. The blade reminds me Bradford Guardian.

I was thinking the exact same thing myself as soon as I saw it laying on that table, and of course once he started to handle it. Very interested in what the price point will be.

I'm guessing $70.

I'm not going to say what the picture on that mug looks like...

Something that can also be considered a ghost... :p

Mini Mariner, intended as a necklace. I think I remember reading that it just looks like a lock back, it's really a slipjoint, but I've never handled one so I could be wrong.

This is correct.

I've already blown all of my BladeShow monies on sharp, shiny objects...

Maybe. Just, maybe... I will make it down there.

Leave the choil alone. It is the only choil I've found that was actually neutral, in that you can have your finger in many different spots within that choil. The handle on the Military is a design that should remain as it is. Changing the lock to a compression or backlock? Great! Just, leave the han...

Rib stew (ragu) https://i.imgur.com/Lo3PInl.jpg Wow! This brings back some memories. My grandmother would make a short rib ragu back in the day. I used to LOVE it. I would get FAR too big of a bowl, because if you didn't, it was gone. Leftovers were not a possibility, regardless of how much she mad...

I was thinking, "I was just listening to some nice Big Band Jazz."

Oh... Yea, I haven't heard from him either.

Jazz! Cleanup on Isle 5!

I've never had any trouble.

Never been asked, checked or frisked(thank goodness!).

And I learned strangers normally have the best gummy bears.

I met some wonderfully colorful friends after eating a stranger's gummy bears!

But, they ditched me a few hours later and I haven't seen them since...

:p :D

Top sirloin steak resting before I slice it for a salad.

A Manix with a compression lock wouldn't be a Manix anymore. How do you figure? In my opinion, if the Manix has a compression lock, it's no longer a Manix, it's a completely different knife with re-engineered everything. I say call it something different if the lock is unnecessarily changed. So the...

Wish I could like all these replies instead of type this out :p

Didn't want to talk to you anyways! :p

I deride the CBBL, as much as some people dote on it. If it were up to me, the CBBL design would have been either tossed in the refuse, or further refined until it met my desires(I LOVE the idea of the lock, hate the execution). why? There are several issues that I have with it. To start, the amoun...

I would like to add the Ulize as my Write-in candidate, even though it isn't SE.

In this size range, it is by far my favorite. Light-ish, while having full liners; Slim in the pocket; Backlock and an exceptional blade shape. Yummy!
