I like your office better than mine aicolainen! :)

If it's any comfort, there are very few days that are outdoor office friendly around here. And it only really works when I'm reading / researching, so most of the time my home office looks very similar to yours. Without the friendly Santa, though
Hahah! Guillaume the office gnome. He guards my desk and even looks after my knives sometimes.. :D

I like that it's a pretty rare to find steel! It's very easy to sharpen, seems to love a toothy edge too. Edge retention isn't the greatest though.
15 :bug-red 's in 10 different steels
1 - Bradford Guardian 3 / Vanadis 4E Wharnie
1 - Monterey Bay Knives Slayback Flipper / ZDP 189
1 - CRK Small Sebenza 31/Macassar Ebony Inlays
1 - CRK Large Inkosi Insingo/ Black Micarta Inlays

I have freshly sharpened M390 today:
842A44D8-DD75-4150-B98E-A36E1F5161E2.jpeg
Unfortunately, nearing the end of the sharpening, I chipped it close to the tip by dropping the aluminum strop base while removing it from the stone holder of my Hapstone V7. :mad:

What makes it even worse is that, I hadn’t carried this in months but about a week or two ago, I was practicing left handed operation of the lock and dropped it tip-first onto cement.

Have: old S30V Native, HAP40 Endura, ZDP DF2, S110V Manix LW, Cru-wear Para 3, SE H1 DF2, S90V Native 5, K390 Urban, SE Pac Salt, P.I.T.S., XHP Manix LW, SB Caly 3, B70P, PMA11, K03, Kapara, REX 45 Military, 154CM Manix LW, Swick, AEB-L Urban, KC Cruwear Manix, M390 PM2, Mantra 2, CruCarta Shaman, M390 Manix, K390 Police 4, S90V Manix LW, Rex 45 Manix LW, 20CV Manix, Rex 45 Lil’Native, Shaman, C208GP, Cruwear Manix, Cruwear Manix, M4 Chief, Z-max!!!

Ive always wondered why they chose 52100 instead of some of the various other carbon steels. I suppose id have to try it to understand. I was my understanding that 1095 holds a better edge that 52100.

Giving PE H1 another go. Wanted to compare it head to head to the PE LC200N version.

Still need to put a thinner edge on it. Planning to put the same edge on it I used on my Aqua Salt (200 grit, then stropping with 40 micron).

Touched it up at 20dps on the medium rods until it cleanly shaved.

Spent the week rafting a wild river in the Alaskan interior. My SE Pac Salt was my constant companion and it took everything that environment dished out to it with a smile. Here it is pictured next to a 5” wolf track maybe 2 days old.

Great chop, as always with your work! :)

And actually for me you just created the "better Para 3":
You did not stick to the lines and form that imho work for the PM2, but not so much for the Para 3: So your "Para 3" does not have that "hook" at the handle end that restricts grip area too much on a small knife, and it looks to have a nice, slim carry.... If you'd know could thin down the whole blade to 3 or even 2.5 mm : This would be a model I'd really consider to get! :)
Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)

Id like to do this with a factory second. Are there any inexpensive ways of getting them outside of buying from the outlet?

After the Kiwi 5 thread, I felt like tossing this one into my pocket for a while and giving my Micro Dyad a break.

How could anyone say no to bolsters and inlay?!

I would love to see a slightly larger Kiwi, glitzed up like it was intended to be. ;) :D
