As much as I love my dyed Pacifics, every time I see a blacked out one it makes me feel like carrying one of mine. I have a few bnib blacked out Pacific 2's stashed away in my safe that have nearly gone into rotation because of posts like this!

Goddard with me on a another nice adventure in the mountains (searched for and found a forgotten cave that goes roughly 2/3 of a mile Into the mountain with a vertical drop of about 1/3 of a mile - then climbed a nice and easy line through the face of the peak on the right ).

This knife is really good.
Such a thin carry with still good ergos, my personal ideal "regular" blade/edge length for a folder and the M4 [no, 4V of course. Thanks for correctimg me jwbnyc] steel actually surpasses my already high expectations when it comes to edge holding.

The more I see this knife the more I think of carrying my Siren. They seem pretty similar!

What else you got in that safe Vivi? You can sacrifice one of ‘em’ for the rotation, c’mon man!!!

Had a Siren for a short period of time, and yes, there are quite some similarities, mainly handle- and blade shape.

As much as I liked that Siren, I still like the Goddard even better.

- I always prefer FRN over G10

- The Goddard is a thinner carry (actually really thin) while still feeling nice in hand

- The Goddard is a bit lighter

- I prefer the barrel- over the wire clip

- The Goddard has a bit thinner blade stock

- I prefer the 4V steel over LC200N by far (actually and totally unscientificly the 4V performs BETTER but LC "less good" as I had expected when it comes to edge retention).

- The Goddard has an almost flat spine, which is nice, but not totally like the Siren. The very subtle hump/thumb "ramp" makes for an easier opening

- The Goddard has a better (long, rather flat) choke up area than the Siren - actually better than pretty much any finger choil for me

- The Goddard features a boye dent, the Siren not. This leads to the Sirens blade coming slightly loose / rattly when the handle is gripped tight in a hammer grip.

- The Goddard makes the actual grip area on the available handle length as long as possible, the Siren though shortens it imo unnecessarily.

First day on the job together, like peas and carrots

Your knife-pic-rock, right?
I can recall it from earlier pics of yours ... (at least I think so)

I think I need a knife-pic-rock.

Same general area but first time using that particular rock. It was a great hike! Chilled out in our hammocks at the summit for a good while.

Just another Mantra Monday!

Kicking off August with the PPT

Ending summer vacation with a road trip.
Left in a hurry to waste as little time as possible, so my pocket content just carried over from whatever I was doing to come along for the ride.
In pocket (as we left): DF2 wharnie k390 and a SAK Cadet (no surprises here).

Thrown in a bag for food prep and more suitable carry as we put city life behind us: Native 5 salt, spydiechef, pac salt SE, Vic Compact and a LM style PS

In context pictures (hopefully) to come.
