Not much. I like to keep it to a minimum:

Wallet
Swisscard in wallet
Motorola Tundra cell phone (company issued)
Keys
Maratac AAA light on keychain
Sprint Run Rookie
SS byrd Robin

And a big old smile on my face to make people wonder what I'm up to. :D

Thanks for the reply, Sal.
Wow, I didn't know there was a "2" version in the works! Can't wait to check it out!

I have plans in place to have some engraving done on my SS Robin. So far it's a slow process but if/when I get it done I'll post some pics.

Tank, Yeah, you got a better deal than I did. The $8.75 shipping was a bit much. Espescially since they ship it in a bubble wrap envelope. These are nice little lights though and the ITP's and Maratac's are identical in function and pretty close in form. I like the knurling on the Maratac but I like...

DUH!! I must have had a momentary lapse of common sense.
It just occured to me this morning that they are smaller versions of the comet shaped thumb hole.
I guess I was right about one thing. I have seen this shape somewhere before. Only about a thousand times! LOL!
I need more coffee.

The six little cutouts on the Robin

I have two byrd Robin knives. One FRN and the other SS. I EDC a Sprint Run Rookie as my primary cutter and the SS Robin for smaller tasks. Does anyone know what, if anything, the six little teardrop shaped cutouts on the Robin symbolize? (three on each side of the handle) I think they look great and...

Wow! Some nice knives and photos in this thread!

I just got this Sprint Run Rookie today. Had it sent to my workplace so I would get it as soon as possible. :D
I could use some practice with the camera. The lighter is for size comparison.
I love this little knife!

I was into homebrewing for a while about ten years ago. I brewed several batches over the course of 18 months or so. I stuck with just plain old American Pilsner, or Lager, can't remember for sure. Every batch I brewed turned out excellent and my friends all liked "Rick's Homebrew". The la...

I wanted to try out S30V steel but didn't want to spend a lot of money. I didn't really like the hump on the blade of most Spyderco's so I was kind of tuned off by that at first. Then I discovered I could get a Native in S30V at the local supercenter for less than $40.00. No blade hump, great blade ...

I only have one Kopa. When I bought it about a month ago the CF and Squash Bone were both on sale for the same price.
I liked the looks of them both but I chose the Squash Bone.
I tend to sometimes go against what is popular because I like to be different.
I think the Squash Bone is gorgeous.

My situation is just the opposite of yours.
I recently got a Sebenza and then right after that I starting getting into Spydercos.
I love my Sebbie and carry it everyday but my most recent interest is in Spyderco.

Byrd Robin SS...PB washers?

Greetings. This is my first post and I'm happy to be here! I was wondering if the Byrd Robin with SS handles uses PB washers like the other Robins. It won't effect my decision to get one but I was just wondering. I have an FRN Robin that I really like and I'm pretty sure I will be getting a SS Robin...
