Scott, you better hang on to that carving knife, that's got spoon maker written all over it! I notice it's a Queen, never saw one like that before.

Nice acquisitions, Scott!

Scott, the Oar Carver is a prize. Excellent whittling knife. D2 steel blade. You did good with that one especially.

Ooh Rah!!!!

Nice finds, Scott!

Obviously that is gonna be a very special knife in your collection, MadeinUSA!

I went to New Graham Knives today for SAK tweezers, and came out with nearly $150 worth of stuff (it is my birthday month, so I should be able to make that dent in my finances a little less in the coming week). I think if I'd scrapped the Mora Basic and Esee scales (which ended up being to a Candiru, not an Izula II), I would've likely been closer to budget at $120 or so.

Esee Izula II. I had been wanting one of these as a farmwork knife, and I think it will also end up replacing my big folders. It's right now in my back pocket, and I can't even tell it's there, even with the clip plate on.
I've been looking for another large folder to replace my early '00s Cold Steel Voyager. I didn't like sharpening the tanto blade on my Gen I, and it was very badly beaten up from abuse by its previous owner.

I really couldn't afford an Izula AND a Spyderco Endura, so I went with the current-gen Voyager instead.

Cold Steel Voyager L Clip Point.

I like the handle feel, and it's even better than the old one. However, this one is thicker, heavier, and stiffer than the old one. So, I may end up trading it off.
Esee Candiru scales. Didn't read the label when the clerk handed picked it up and took it to the counter, as I thought they were for an Izula. I probably should return these to add the $13.50 back to the hobby budget, but I want a Candiru for around the house and in-town EDC. So, I'm weighing between keeping them for when I buy a Candiru, or returning them and waiting until next month's hobby budget and buying both scales and knife.
Morakniv Basic Blaze Orange. It's their lose-proof color, and about the brightest "high visibility" orange you can find in any knife. I had it in my stainless-blade Companion, and wanted it in a Basic, as my other two colors are 125th anniversary black/red and the standard military green.

I like that this one has a black sheath, unlike the Companion, which has an orange sheath.

Very cool! And a great idea!

Yup, Tuesday. First on Election Day in several years.

Thursday

Stopped into SMKW on our way back from GA last month. Been meaning to get 'em showed off.
Both ate a bit off the norm for me.

I'm not keen on single blade knives, but the mini copperlock fits the sweetspot of size for me, so thought I'd give it a try and see if it grows on me. I do like the smooth antique bone. The stockman is my favorite pattern, but appaloosa coloring is usually a turn-off for me. This is sawcut pumpkin spice that fades to what I see as that appaloosa pattern. Don't know why, but I really like it. Good day, all!

I found these two knives in the $7 Christmas assortment at Walmart today.

I think they'll be pretty decent workhorses. They arrived sharp. I think the folder will hold up, but I give the flimsily attached plastic clip on the fixed blade a few weeks at best. Its sheath is also made from a pretty cheap plastic, and the holes in it are decorative--cordage or belt clips cannot be attached through them due to the tiny size.
The AXIS Lock folder has a deep carry clip, which the real deal doesn't have.

I expected complete and utter junk (as I paid $60 new for my ESEE Izula and $50 used for my Mini Griptillian--and most of the Chinese-made knives with AXIS type locks are north of $20), and these don't seem that bad for the money. I'm sure I'll be sharpening them constantly, but I think these will be seeing use in my EDC. These are cheap enough to own duplicates of.
