Everyone's latest acquisitions!

I just received my ESEE 4-HM-K in the mail! I've been wanting one for a while, to add to the bushcraft collection, but waited until the thicker, rounded micarta handle of the HM was available, for my big mitts. It fits great in my hands and feels surprisingly light. In short it's chomping at the bit to go out there and do stuff!

It's my first ESEE (but not my first carbonator) and I loved the attention to detail in the packing materials, with the box covered in useful bushcraft/survival information, stickers, and hard plastic cards with survival information. I trained in a lot of this stuff, but I appreciate that a company that sells bushcraft knives took the time to make a difference in educating people before they head out into the woods.

I also got a Ka-Bar Dozier Folder (to add to the entry level, grab and use knives that are kept in every room so there's always one handy) and a Victorinox Swiss Army SwissCard (multi-tool) that I've been meaning to pick up for a while.
 
Still looking for knives to backfill my collection and found this ZT 0170 to add to my group of ZT fixed blades.

No box but knife/sheath are "like new." For some reason, the sheath was missing the OEM belt clip which they don't make anymore. Let that go because I got the knife for a good price and just added a Tek-lok type clip to the sheath to make it work.

Now I just need to find a ZT 0180. PM me if you've got one that you want to sell. :)

Since the sebenza is headed to to Idaho for some work, i went ahead and ordered Spyderco Mcbee to fill the void. 🤷🏻‍♂️
 
Sig / Hogue K320 Ntron, KC exclusive. I liked the stonewashed blade (at $104 on sale a great buy) and have been eyeballing this for a while.
The able-lock needs some wrist action (more-so than the axis-lock from my limited BM experience) but works fine on a very light folder.

Spyderco Shaman, finally readily available so I picked one up.
My first compression lock and should be fun, so far pretty easy to use with both hands.

Flytanium scales and backspacer coming for the Shaman, I may try to do some anodizing and blade etching on this as some point.
I've only very recently got into Spyderco, a year ago I wouldn't have had much of an opinion but the Shaman feels in hand like a really good folder.
I didn't really need to go after an exclusive / sprint run so it's nice to finally get one, this with the Native 5 G10 are nice options for me to have.
