Went on vacation with the wife and kiddos, bought two Strider SMFs online before we took off. The mail call this morning did not suck.

My favorite Presido look... same as the non-auto appearance-wise. Gorgeous. Love those AL scales. Tough knife. Tanto in stainless is great. Congrats.

Not the latest knife purchase. I have so many I never carry I decided to start carrying old ones. I polished these up today.

Large fixed blade I made in New Zealand last year
Buck 102 Woodsman from 1999
Buck 110 Hunter from 2003
Buck 112 Ranger from 2002
Money clip with Mammoth Ivory scrimshaw

I'll carry the Buck 112 Ranger on a hike tomorrow. That 110 feels like a boat anchor its so heavy!

I put a thumb stud on this Buck 560 Titanium knife and carried it on a hike/beach day out at Point Arguello last weekend. I was gifted this knife in 1998 and carried it till around 2004.

Just found this "like new" (w/o box) ZT0200SW on EB.

The 0200 is one of my favorite ZTs and this one makes a nice companion to the standard 0200 w/the black plain edged blade.

It is a fairly rare version of the knife. Apparently, the original version of this knife was a Knife Works exclusive (ZT0200KW) that was supposed to have been bead blasted but apparently later versions were reportedly "only" stone washed (not sure how you'd tell the difference) and after the exclusive run ran out, ZT issued a limited number of these knives as well. Not sure how many of these knives were made but the one I got is #0379.

I am very pleased w/this new addition to my ZT collection. It's #29.

I owned a 0200 for a couple of years. That is a beast of a knife. It reminded me of my old 0301, but with out the assisted opening. Those knives are bomb proof!

I got reall lucky at a cutlery shop up here. I had been wantin Ken Onion "Shun" knives for my kitchen. Beck when they came out, they were too expensive. Nowadays I have the money but they were discontinued. Anyway, a new shop opened up here that sells new and refurbished blades. Lo and behold there are 2 Shuns up on the wall. 8 inch chef and a "Santility" a sort of cut off Santoku. Both have Ken Onion Prototype, Portland OR on the blades. Shop owner says Onion is a silent partner. He breaks out a cutting board and a carrot and the knives go through it like butter. Owner decides they are sharp enough and hones them to an even keener edge.
Best part? $80 for the pair. I ended up adding two more kitchen knives, filet and a reverse paring knife and I bought a new folder as well.
Then the shop throws a new knife block in the deal for free.
What a great day!
