I love that turtle as much as the whale!

 

[Gary W. Graley]

The opposite side has markings, so I contacted the manufacturer as to what they mean and got this response

It's ancient Chinese seal characters more than 2000 years ago--"Fu Jia Tian Xia",it means "All the wealth of the world",and the turtle shell has been regarded as a mascot for wealth and luck in China

I haven’t searched this entire thread but I have been searching google for red anodized metal lanyard beads. It’s almost impossible to find some that aren’t $30 a piece. Who would have thought?

It isn't possible to get titanium anodized red, but you can get close to it. More like a pinkish-purple.

Just a simple blue diamond knot with black whipping cord to coordinate with the black and blue G-Mascus of the Hogue Counterstrike.

I lost my knot-knowledge today for some reason as I couldn’t get the wide Diamond knot to fall into place, I tried 5 times until it finally came together very easy to have a loop cross over before it should

I guess it was a 24 hr bug as today it went together without a hitch, well, there is a hitch in the knot but then I digress
Just got a Jutland in the house today, my previous one went west so I did miss it some and got another one in, nice folder along side the Solarstorm, also a nice folder!

That’s a good looking pair!

 

[DocJekl]

Gary W. Graley It just so happens that I will always have your old ones - same pair, just different better colors

 

[Gary W. Graley]

Thanks and they are an excellent pair of knives, I had missed the Jutland and good to have one back in the fold.

Got this new bead in today, stainless steel with a little weight in it, the back is hollow which I wasn't expecting but wondered since they did not show both sides, clever fellas lol but, it works pretty well the way it is

The utilitarian Turret just got some boring tan 550 with a neato antiqued brass octopus bead.

Just checking in and I see it's been kinda quiet over here. I've just gotten in something new to share, so for a bit of a bump here's my latest, another Cheburkov Scout, this one with lots of interior milling, a Timascus clip, and a SS polished Dama blade. I recently bought a couple beads from a favorite maker, planning to put this one on my AFCK 806-1101, but it ended up on this knife instead, surrounded by two diamonds tied up with 550 Moonstruck.
