May your feet be warm and dry and your throat warm with whiskey. A knife in hand or in the sock band.

I'm saving up for something nice at Blade Show 2024. Trying to decide between your Chaves Tanto Kickstop like what I showed you and you have been torturing us with, Spartan Harsey, Hinderer Eklipse, another CRK, or a TRM atom. πŸ˜‚.

Ive been accused of liking Chaves. I have 4 229s with kickstop, Ive got an older 229 with the thumbstuds as well, and the little 226 exclusive.
