Great work!

@coldcashandcolderhearts love that holster, nicely done!

[68degreesorless]

Any recommendations for a killer pair of pruning shears? I figure the Japanese must be making some nice ones. I wasn't impressed with the results of my quick Google search.

@68degreesorless Felco #2 pruners. Have used them for years on the family’s Apple orchards. Completely rebuildable if needed and parts are easy to find.

@68degreesorless, thisoldtony on YouTube just did a video on a few types of pruning shears that was surprisingly good. Not his usual content. Might be helpful.

edited to add:
I realized he has another video about pruning saws and the one with shears has an nondescript title that's not obvious to find. Thought it might help to paste it here.

If it's not cool, mods please remove and note that the video title is "milwaukee" and posted a month ago.

@pechelman You are good

bought the benchmade super freek brand new used off a guy on a knife forum pre covid
it sat at my us shipping address for almost 2 years.
when i bought it applied weapon technologies had told me they planned to make scales for the freeks and super freeks, but they kept putting it off
now finally today the scales came in the mail

edit the green picks are more accurate, they are flat dark earth

Love the super freek. Had one and sold it but not because I didn’t like it.

[natehate]

@Matt i bought it planning to swap to these scales, i wish they were smooth, but whatever. they are WAY nicer then the factory ones

I ordered this Sebenza ~ 2 years ago and honestly had forgotten about it. Unique? Over the top? Daily user?

Sebenza 31
Drop point
Double lug
Magnacut

@TelemarkTumalo that's a wild one
i caught the crk bug a few years back
really want to add an umnumzaan to my collection
sebenza 31, sebenza 25 with micarta inlays and inkosi with insingo blade. all large.
really love the simplicity of the inkosi, wish it had the drop point and the 31 had the insingo

[TelemarkTumalo]

@natehate

Right on Brother. Umnumzaan is another level and my plain Jane Zaan is an EDC for me. Crazy wait times on these if you are ordering one... 6 years! Watch for used ones hitting the market. They can be found. I've ordered a second Zaan that may show up in ~ 2 years? Great knife!

[Gammaman]

Here’s the large sebenza I use from 2008 used it more than any other knife.

Daily user?

Of course.

Just got my first Chris Reeve knife on Monday! I'm in love. Even better was that the production date is my son's birthday. Definitely passing it down to him when he's older.

More CRK love

I have been looking to nab a small Inkosi but found a good deal on the SpydieChef and am feeling sated for the time being

[iamjustdanny]

So I've bought 2 knives recently.

First one is a Chaves Redencion 229 kickstop. Love it. Very solid and kind of fidgety.

Next one is a funny one. It's perfectly dumb and I love it.

The Kansept Mini Korvid. It got the Dessert Warrior treatment.

Partly thanks to @RoxRocks86 , I call this knife, "Little Homer".

Anyone in an auto friendly state wanna proxy for me? I tried dm’ing @Anesthetist but he’s ghosting me.
