In my personal experience, S110V can vary wildly from knife to knife. My 2018-era UKPK is very forgiving whereas my 2022/2023 era Native 5 is noticeably more brittle. I love both for what they are, but in some ways they behave almost like two different steels.

Regardless...

Used my UKPK to cut an access hole for a switch in an armrest I re-upholstered and to widen a hole for a cable pass-through. Used my Native to open numerous parts packages.
Interesting, this one is a 2020 factory second. I don't know what the HRC is though.

Had to try out my new Manbug in K390 on some cardboard. Talking about punching above your weight class 💪

V,

I am going to guess here, second to the last pic you tacked up, that red handled small thing a fire starter? If so which one is that? I have not seen one of them whatever it is lol...

The fire looks inviting too

I performed surgery on middle finger tip gathering scrap chunks of Oak at a place in town that sold it for stoves and fireplaces . Loaded up back with enough to help burn two tarp loads of Crabapple branches. Hopped into trunk and when I grabbed steering wheel I felt it . Dragonfly Salt was my surgical tool . Funny thing , a pair of gloves was sitting in passenger seat and thought I would not need them ! 😂🤣 No pics for obvious reasons ! MG2

yep, it's a fire starter. I don't remember which brand it was though, sorry.

I do like this one a lot. it's quite large, making it easier to use - https://www.chicagoknifeworks.com/wisem ... rro-rod-2/

Made myself a cane. Used the Para 3 CPM 15V for the wood work including skinning the bark. Used the Spy27 modified mule 2 to cut up an old trail running shoes for the rubber tip.

Nice! Congrats on catching the baby, or juvenile, Rat Snake (and the lizards). Love the look of a baby Rat Snake. Very handsome/pretty snake. Great snakes to have around, super good climbers, one of the more calm snakes too.
