Rarely leaves my pocket since adding the deep carry clip.

What ya going on there Darby? Is that at work?

Yup, just a pic from work. I thought that 55 gallons of super strong bleach would make a good backdrop for a pic.

It probably would have been a better background for a Salt knife considering how corrosive that stuff is but I don’t really have any Salt knives. I wouldn’t let that stuff touch any of my blades though. :eek:

Been using the heck out the little Dragonflies over the holidays. Likin' the Embassy too!

Hi SG, do you have the autonomy 2 if so which do you like better between it and the Embassy?

A couple smaller guys today...not much happening at work on the short week. I also just recently cleaned up the scales on the Para 3, forgot how nice the color of the scales were when they weren't an off-yellow color!

Wow, that looks new! Do you have a before and after? I am always worried about carrying my natural G10 for fear of getting those scales dirty. What did you use to clean them?

Put a fresh edge on my Ronin. I use it a lot for breaking down cardboard for recycling. It had gotten dull to the point it lost all shaving ability and was pretty gunked up from xmas recycling chores. Gave it a bath and reset the edge bevel, then got it back to hair popping sharp. I love how easily BD1 takes a screaming sharp edge.

Too lazy for pictures but I went simple with the Delica SE Wharncliffe and the SK Blades Goodfella that just got a fat new edge on it. First time I've sharpened CPM 154 and it is great stuff.

Here's a before picture. A bit tough to see with the lighting at the dock door that day, but you see a bit of off yellow color, especially around the pivot screw area. This is one of my favorite knives and it gets carried at least twice a week, I work in a warehouse and draw it from my pocket a good 15-25 times a day. Didn't realize how dirty it was until I looked at some pics of it from when it was new haha. Too clean it, I simply used warm water with a small drop of Dawn on a childs toothbrush and scrubbed away. I didn't take the knife apart, was careful and precise with that little tooth brush. Rinsed off, patted dry and lubed the pivot area.

One morning brew on new years eve never hurt anyone.

Sorry, I only have the Embassy. I will say that I do like the size of the Embassy. It's about the size of a Para 3.

Happy 2019 to you all!
like the first day of the year that now ends,
the Pacific Salt and I are still best friends

Always forget how awesome this blade is until I put it back into my pocket.

New Years Eve carry. McBee and Flashlight in the shirt pocket, Native on the left, Shaman on the right. Cut up some nice hard cheese and dried sausages with the LC200N Native.
