Just saying hi and refound edc (thanx again Paul[Deacon])

#1

Post by spydutch »

Been a while since I posted over here.
On a very tight budget and not be able to buy whatever Spydie, it's no fun for me to visit all that often.
Been heavily into SAKs lately because once in a while I can spend a couple of euro's on a standard SAK.
But enough of the whining :(

Just a few moments ago I was rumbling through my knives and I stumbled upon this one.
Got it as a gift from my highly esteemed forum friend Paul Beretta a good while back :cool:

Carried it and used it for a while untill the knife developped a bit play. Was able t correct the side to side, but the vertical play remained.
Put it away and checked it this morning again. And actually the play is very minimal. Waay less than one of my linerlock SAKs which I've grown accustomed to.

So to make an already too long and boring rambling short, I polished the (now brushed) bolsters a bit more, stropped the blade and put it in my pocket. The blade is sharper than a fresch exacto blade (which it already was fresh out of the box) and it's always nice to have a pocket scalpel with you.

Well see how it goes.

Thanx for reading :cool:

Hello Spydutch. Hope you're doing well. There's nothing wrong with Swiss Army Knives. I used to be heavily into them. Now, I just don't have enough pockets. That's the truth. I do always carry one at work though.
- best wishes, Jazz.

Hi, Spydutch!
It's great to "see" you if only briefly. You have been missed.

Hi again Arend. Always regretted not picking up a Kiwi in its original format, fine looking Spydies. Enjoy!
So many knives, so few pockets... :)
