Thats so funny lol. Heck I have purposely bought a smooth even dozen big block stainless steel wire brushes just so I might find one when I need it.

I honestly have no idea where I am putting all my stuff up so I can find it... I never use to be like this but since I retired and I am not hurried by anyone, now I can't find the stuff I put up. Ridiculous!

Makes absolutely no sense to me either as I am a very neat and detailed guy, always have been. Really irritating too for me. I keep thinking one of these days any time now, I am going to find this one place where I have put all my stuff up at and it's going to be like Christmas around here lol.

It has all got to be in one place together too, I have looked heaven and earth all over here and can't find this stuff. So the stuff is all in one place, has to be and it's the one place I have yet to look.
I have a theory. When we hit retirement, reality changes and starts glitching. We Lose things we never had, find things we never bought, and end up with multiples of things we only bought once.

I bought a titanium Boker pen. And now I have two :zany and I don't really remember buying more than one. As long as things keep multiplying in my favour I'm happy :savouring

I'm in the middle of sorting the the box room. So far I've discovered 100s of AA batteries in date. Must cross them off the shopping list.

May your Christmas come soon :smlling-eyes

Congrats Paul ! I came close but opted for the S90V instead. I still may buy one since 15V may be discontinued . I do like the scale color scheme. Dan

The M2 in S90V with carbon fiber scales is available here, but it costs 429 USD equivalent. I can't see paying that for an M2 in S90V. An interesting steel in OG Military would even be too steep at that price.

Probably the 15V and the Cru-Wear (with micarta!) are the best M2 versions generally available right now, and the OG Military in S110V which is really a nice steel, is still available.

I get that. Got the M2 in S90v from Lamnia when it came out earlier this year. It is reaching it's limits for what I want to pay for it, which is too bad.

The Chaparral 3 with blue anodized stepped titanium scales. Finally found one of my grail Spyderco's NIB on the secondary market. It is absolutely stunning! Love the milling with the partial blue ano. Understand it was quit a tedious process making the scales.

Very nice!! Always thought that was a great looking knife. Might be the first time I've seen it here on the forums.

I bet there are not many of these on the secondary market NIB you can get. I am certain making these step scales with the little patches of blue anodized places left are quite the process also. Nice find.

There is a quote from Sal on Spydiewiki about the process. A lot of work went in to these scales 😅 but really beautifully done!
