I GOT PROMOTED! What's gonna be my reward knife??
I GOT PROMOTED! What's gonna be my reward knife??
Oh yes...been a long time coming (4 years) but i've finally gotten myself back to the level of pay i lost back in '08, with a little interest :D
So obviously there's gonna be a frivolous knife purchase coming up once this cash starts rolling in. Also in this position, i probably won't be using my knife nearly as much which is a little bit of a downer, but i've realised that EDC'ing a Military is probably not the best idea so i'm considering a Caly 3.5 or something along those lines. I'm really wishing i'd got in on the Super Blue craze. Then again, i also like to keep things as light as i can and i'll need to keep it as inconspicuous as i can, so a deep carry wire clip would be preferred but i know that limits my choices.
I've already owned a Sage 1, and while i'm not opposed to owning another one, i also like to get something new that i've never owned. I might look into a Sage 2 or 3..i'm seriously contemplating a Sage 3 with custom khaki colored scales...

ANY ONE YOU WANT
It's a new knife due to be released about the same day you get the increase. Funny how that works isn't it? :D

PS edit: Sorry man, I forgot to congratulate you. Congratulations. I was too excited to see what the new ANY ONE YOU WANT knife looks like. :D

Congrats. My vote is a Superleaf with the wire clip switched out for a deeper carry version from the Caly 3. Compression lock and VG10. If you aren't cutting as much the edge retention with VG10 might be sufficient.
I recently celebrated a bonus with a call to Santa Fe Stoneworks to have a Delica 4 SS scaled with dinosaur bone. It is nice to establish landmarks in your collection of knives, except it makes it that much harder to part with them.

I'm really leaning towards either a Caly 3.5, regardless of steel, or one of the Sages. I've wanted something with tan colored G10 for a while now and i think a Sage 3 with tan scales would be super nice. Then again, one of my favorite knives is my ZDP Caly 3 so this ZDP 3.5 sounds really nice...Hmmm..ETA?

Congrats! I too wish I had jumped on that superblue. You can always do the 3.5 zdp, it's pure class!

If anything the Stang will probably get a turbo kit. Right now it's getting new black interior.tonydahose wrote:first off, congrats!!! i say you should get some boost for the stang but that is just me :D . if you aren't going to do that here are my list of knife recommendations for the office:

I've thought about a nice Kopa or a CF Kiwi but i still prefer to have a clip, so maybe a Kopa...
