Great bone, love that kind of micarta too, although can't see much of that beauty. Great trio.


Taking a pretty with me, won't get much hard use today.

Ah you're too kind, gonna make me blush. But thanks, appreciate your notice and will keep 'em coming.

Today’s edc. I’ll also have a cheap working knife with me as I don’t want to damage this pristine Campolin. Excuse the dog fur in the background. Adds character in my opinion.

Your Campolin is impressive and I like the dog fur.

A bit of northern exposure.

Excellent choices, Jtx, Ivory, David, Chris and Oscar.


Nice, QS! I'm traveling up the North Fork with today's EDC. You can slice mandarin skins paper thin with this knife.

Love the etched blades. They add so much to any knife. I’ve quite a few but never used them as it would detract from their appearance if they got scratched up. Beautiful knife as always QS ! (Could use a bit of dog fur though).

Thanks redrider and Oscar. It is my understanding that what we call a Moose is in Europe called an elk. Hence the word elk is on the inscription.

That is a beautiful knife Q,S, ! Great stag (a B.D. I assume? ) As for if it is an elk or a moose... I would defer to Oscar on that one

Thanks K.Z. I have a huge book shelf full of steins.... but only 2 hands ....

Leatherman Free T2 as the base level tool today.

I have had a love-hate relationship with this knife ever since I bought it in early 2021. It's a little bulky for the minimal tools it offers, the blade could be a quarter inch longer, it's not southpaw friendly, and it took quite a bit of carry and use (plus a generous amount of Quick Release oil) to be as smooth as Leatherman advertises the Free Series to be. Plus, it uses magnets as an integral part of the locking mechanism.

But, it's pretty robust for being only four inches closed, and the blade finally broke in enough to flip it open with my right hand.

If you buy the RR tie dye knife you'll grow an extra thumb - problem solved!

Two thumbs might make opening them Balisong knives easier too ... in addition to holding more steins and drinking a lot more German beer during October fest!

It looks pretty stout and sturdy

That was after being expose to the picture of the tie-dye knife.... I held up my hand to block out the light coming off the screen....

Amid all the excellent carries (per usual for y'all), I have to wonder...

Who made the little utility/garden tractor seen with the Free T2?

OSCAR wrote: ↑Tue Oct 03, 2023 10:20 am Too awkward to carry but I thought it would be of interest. Brought these back from Brazil years ago. Sheaths and handles are sculpted by hand. Yes the teeth are real. Not sure if they are from a cow or a horse. Some semi-precious stones are used also.

Those are something else! I’ve heard of people getting “bit” taking a knife out of or putting into a sheath but those give new meaning to it.
