Haha! Maiden voyage today for that T1x. It shot pretty well considering it's brand new and I wasn't using match ammo. My CZ 452 American shot better but it's a great shooter. What impressed me today was the Vortex Diamondback HP scope on the T1x. The glass in that scope is fantastic for the $. It's a bargain for what I paid for it

Nice shot. I don't know how long you left it there, but it's funny and interesting to see what I suppose to be M4 display such quick patina/corrosion.

It's actually a mustard patina I did a few years ago when I first got it.

Only two of these are in my pocket.
But, I did just get the Itamae Petty and slice up an onion, avocado, and tomato. The patina formed on the Super Blue within minutes.

Awesome photo!
Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
It is! It's a reprint of a book written when Europeans first explored Virginia. I'm a little obsessed with the 1490-1600 era when Europeans re-discovered the New World. Columbus, Cabot, Cortez, Magellan.....such a fascinating era of history.
Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
It is fascinating indeed and I´ve read many books about this era and topic too... both more scientific subject books and more novel like ones.
Concerning the latter there is a great book by the rather famous Austrian Novelist Stefan Zweig (early 20th century) about Magellan - actually a novel, but very close to the historical facts. Don´t know though if the English translation can capture the poetic language he uses.
And the whole Cortez and conquering the Actec empire thing is fascinating anyway... and sad too, if thinking about what a in many ways highly developed and fascinating culture was almost totally annihilated and so many aspects of it will never be known to us. I sometimes think about how things would have turned out if the British and not the Spaniards would have come into contact with the Aztecs first: Not that the Brits did treat Native cultures "nicely" either, but at the time they tended not to totally extinguish everything that was not (catholic) Christian, and so perhaps more temples, artefacts, scripts and general knowledge of the Actec culture would have survived.
To get back on topic a bit : Manix 2 on a book about the Aztecs and their conquering by the Spaniards seen though the eyes of a Native American. Not the best book in the world, but still a nice read and gives one another perspective.
