A few weeks ago we were blessed to be able to travel to Western Canada.
It was a beautiful, exciting and truly unforgettable trip for us.
We met our daughters there who had just finished their academic year at university as well as my sister, brother in law and their kids who came from the Orcas Island where they live.
Along for the ride came my trusty Grohmann Slimline folder
I got this knife in person at the Grohamnn factory in Nova Scotia some years ago and took it all over Prince Edward Island on the East Coast.
I figured it would be cool to show it the west coast of Canada as well.
More pics to come ...once I sort them out lol

How is the fit and finish of that Grohmann Slimline? How good is the steel and blade grind?

The fit and finish is very good
Mine was a "second" at 50 % off and I could not find a fault with it.
This is similar to what most folks often comment online when buying seconds from Grohman.
You can buy seconds by calling them or from their website.
The F&F is not that perfectly "flushed everywhere" we often see on GEC 's, I'd say is very similar to my Case knives overall.
The steel for their folding knives, as per their website "Other european steels somewhat comparable to AUS6 are used in the pocket and lock knives. Rockwell hardness 56-58 degrees is maintained throughout all of the Outdoor knives"
I can't detect a difference when sharpening it vs my other traditional folders in stainless. Aus6 is a budget steel from what I understand. Spyderco has used it in the past on some models like the delica.
Vancouver city, ferries, mountains, ocean, beautiful Nanaimo
... and my Grohmann always by my side 
A monument to local Mayor Frank Ney who "was known for his outgoing personality, his habit of attending civic events and dressing up like a pirate for the appearances, and playing a central role in initiating the bathtub races across Georgia Strait from Nanaimo to Vancouver"
Bathtub races ??? Sound like my type of fun
We came upon this fella utterly concentrated on balancing rocks

While walking on the grounds of the British Columbia Parliament Building in Victoria BC we were quite surprised to find three deer busy stealing and munching on the shrubs and newly planted flowers that the gardener not far away was busy tending to.
Rascals
"The Cenotaph"
Unveiled in 1925 it commemorates the Canadians who lost their lives in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Afghanistan Mission.
I then walked back to my car to leave my Grohmann there so we could go through security to visit inside the Parliament Building.
And then for a nice walk along the beach and to a park close to it
I wanted my Grohmann to dip a toe in the Pacific and have a taste of it
THen a "rogue" wave LOL soaked it in SALT WATER 
Rinse and "Oil the Joints" folks

I gave the Green Heron a fresh coat of paint a couple of weeks ago, but high river levels have prevented me from actually getting it in the water. With heavy rains yesterday (and forecast again for tomorrow), this weekend looks like a no-go as well.
I tried fishing a little last weekend, but the river was still a bit high and fast, and all the approaches to the banks were covered in deep mud from the recent flood.
