The ATR2 still tempts me. I know a few retailers with some left. I liked the original quite a bit, but wasn't wild about the clip or slick scales. The 2 fixed those things for me, but I'm still a little leary of compression locks. Maybe its time to give them another chance.Sumdumguy wrote: ↑Mon May 03, 2021 1:47 pmFinally got this one fixed and decided to take it for a stroll. The clip is definitely a letdown. Aside from that, it is a great knife. Really wonderful blade shape, that is a lot thinner upfront, than I imagined it would be.
My only other gripe would be, that some of the edges are a bit sharp on the handle. But, that can be fixed easily enough.
With a little modification to the existing clip or a custom, it will be a very nice tool.

That we do my friend, that we do indeed :)
we are very nearly the same age, and have other common tastes, interests, and/or hobbies, i.e. the alpine stuff, running, etc...
Oh yeah!! I've got a few of those too, Love me some C.Reapers :) and with some Reaper/Tabasco hybrids I've been growing for three or four years now, and more...
Those little hybrid tabasco/reaper peppers are surprisingly HOT - and I Love'm. I put'em in my banana smoothie in the mornings :) so good :)

To be honest, the holes in the scales and shape of the grip, make it pretty solid in the hand.vivi wrote: ↑Mon May 03, 2021 5:13 pmThe ATR2 still tempts me. I know a few retailers with some left.

I couldn't describe it as slick.
I'm definitely a proponent of the comp lock! You know what I'll say. :p

This is the first I've tried growing them. Last year I grew just ghost peppers, but this year I've got jalapeño, cayenne, habanero, and ghost peppers, in addition to the Carolina Reapers. For hot sauce. :)

Just got this one today. Looking forward to putting K390 to work.
Because desolate places allow us to breathe. And most people don't even know they're out of breath.

Once upon a time I got a couple hours of sleep in a mountain patrol shack where skiing is popular.Spydergirl88 wrote: ↑Mon May 03, 2021 9:25 amThis is definitely not a thing in Texas...must be a cold weather state thing. Trespassing in Texas is a big no-no.
Texas is pretty big on no trespassing though. As a kid I remember being told not to go into my one neighbors yard. The guy sat on his porch in a rocking chair with a shotgun on his lap watching for people that ignored the no trespassing signs.
.....
Just to do my country right: Trespassing as such is really not an issue at all in Austria, except perhaps very rarely when hunters don´t want people to cross certain areas at certain times a year. So one can really hike/walk/run everywhere in the country/woods/mountains.
It is just that a majority of shacks/cabins/huts one might come by will be locked.
Austria, especially higher up in the mountains, IS a "cold weather country" for a good part of the year, but many remote places are "just" "remote" for middle European standards. So not like a seven days hike into total wilderness, but certainly often about two or three days into the mountains.
And no one ever really tries to "scare people off" property here... I remember when I was in Alaska with one of my brothers and a buddy in the nineties, we rode a canoe down some river - no human signs at all for days, but then we came by that lonesome cabin, landed at the riverbank there and suddenly stared into the barrel of a shotgun - held by a guy who just grunted "private property" :p - quite shocking for Europeans, who aren´t used to guns in the first place and also not to the strong sense of defending ones property (don´t get my wrong, I am not implying this would be a bad thing necessarily!) :D
(to be fair: That guy turned out to be real nice after he realized that we where just greenhorns from Europe... )
/ A rare carry for me, but today I´ll take my oldest Spydie with me on a morning run - seen here in front of a cabin-door... which actually is locked...

Beautiful grooveless handle...
...and ricasso and handle in one line (without forefinger guard).
It's perfect !
The original Endela is already a very good EDC, not too large and not too small. The guy who made the customisation works very well.
Today my new RockJumper, another perfect EDC :
