Older workhorse - LionSteel in D2. Hard use, lock feature is great, comfortable. Only minus for me is it’s D2 and I hate sharpening D2.

I really like these, alot but D2 can be an issue living around the saltwater. How has this held up and are you close to the ocean? Thank you, great looking Lionsteel!
Nowhere near ocean. But I use it on anything and don’t have an issue with rust or much staining. D2 is just my nemesis in sharpening. No idea why. Anything else I’m good.

I hope you have that bolted to the concrete floor. Too many stories of safes being wheeled out the door. Also lock up your power tools and pry tools as those RSC types safes can be split quickly.
Oh you betcha! I rotohammered and pounded bolts into the floor. More worried about my son messing with it and tipping over on him then it getting stolen!

It's such a clean design. There's nothing extra or unnecessary about it. If I had to pick only one EDC knife this would be it.

Got two projects done last night: bronze ti scale on the Eklipse, and put my own edge on the Zaan and removed the lanyard. I'm super happy with both - major improvements! Also, I figured out the trick to flicking the Zaan open, and now it's smooth as silk to flick open. Just have to pop the stud at the right angle.

They do look awesome! A little slick, though. If a textured one comes in stock I might switch. We'll see, I'll live with this one a while first.

I took my Zaan to 17dps like you did - omg, what a difference! I'm definitely going to do my others, too.

Yea because it's a fairly soft steel, as I'm sure you noticed with how quickly it sharpened away...I figured I'd play it safe at 17dps for now, go lower if I feel the need to. But, it's definitely a noticeable difference as is :) I've got to do the same with my small 31 now. I've been sharpening madman lately though, I'm ready for a little break after I give this M4 Para 3 some work at the end of the week.

Looks great! I did 17dps on mine as well a while back. Most of my CRKs are 15-17dps, never was a fan of the convex edge on a blade like this.

Julia, that Bronze Scale is absolutely stunning!
With the right light, you can get some awesome pics.
That turned out so good. Congratulations.
