Everyone's latest acquisitions!

She isn't a huge fan of leather sheaths when we're camping/backpacking, and she also wanted something that could be very easily removed. I thought a Kydex sheath with a Spyderco G-Clip would be just the ticket. I had no idea how handy these little G-Clips were! I'm going to have to pick up a couple more for sure.
The G-Clip is great! It is my go-to for small/medium fixed blades. I've got 6 or 7 of them.
 
A bunch of Jokers from Albacete, Spain . From the top: Tigre, Ember, Grandfather Puukko, and Ursus.

The Southpaw Hinderer XM-18 3.5 has landed!
This thing is a BEAST! It feels as if you're picking up a brick: when it hits your paw. I've got to say that I'm not wild about the nylon bushings. I think I'll give the bearings a try.. I'm also gonna "flip the clip": for tip up carry IMG_18122021_114624.jpgIMG_18122021_114528.jpgIMG_18122021_121756.jpg

Some blue collar working knives that I can't believe I didn't already own: Ontario Rat1 and the QSP Penguin with blue jean micarta. Both solid EDC folders that punch above their price. Shipping delays is going to have a lot of knives arriving all within a few days of each other.

I have been on a Xmas shopping spree. Not sure that it's over yet but these are the (new to me) knives that I have purchased & received so far.

1) Spyderco Mules - M390 and MagnaCut:

The M390 replaces a 20CV and the MagnaCut replaces a ZMax while also joining a LC200N and S45VN in my collection.

2) Spyderco Ironwood Puuko:

The Ironwood Puuko joins a G10 Puuko already in my collection:

3) Zero Tolerance 0180:

I have no plans to buy the ZT-9 Bayonet so, as far as I am concerned the 0180 finally completes my ZT fixed blade collection:

The PF719 has been a surprising favorite. I love the combination of traditional beauty, a thin slicey blade, and fantastic action. Mine snaps open and drops shut wonderfully. (It was good from the box but got even better after a thorough cleaning and quality lubrication.)

Mine originally lived in my office desk. I figured I wouldn't carry it much without a pocket clip. Then I discovered that without the lanyard, it fits perfectly into my cardigan pocket. Now it gets carried around the house regularly during colder weather.
 
Are the lefties not Triway? From your picture it doesn't appear that they have the symbol on the flipper tab. Should have come with bronze washers and bearings.
You're right: there's nothing on the flipper. But it did come with all of the extra washers and bearings...
BTW: nice catch!
(I'm putting together the tools for a tear-down)
I guess it's like owning a COPO Nova with an L-88 under the hood... but with no badging on the front fenders: the perfect sleeper! 😁
