Josh has said he's just not taking in more work. Which is awesome for him and a bummer for the rest of the entire knife nerd world.

Hand-me-down DEF from my bro Grogimus (yup he's alive, well and has gotten himself a brand new puppy ... will show his fugly face in here again soonish). I had sold him a grail-ish CPK quite a while back which I had scored through Bob and I am so grateful that the Grogger offered me the chance to buy it back again if & when

Mat how did you get so lucky? You must be living life in a bubble where you don’t see anyone. That sure is a looker!

Tero Tuf, you don't see many offered anywhere in a lively green.

No problem, you were welcome to it. I was running the math and my need for retail therapy almost kicked in. Luckily I was driving when it first popped up and I saw it. Almost ran off the road, so I figured that was a sign to leave it alone. When I got home I saw you had picked it up, good on you.

I learned something new today. I don’t spend too much on knives and guns and flashlights. It’s money I am investing in my mental health, “retail therapy”. My wife will be happy to learn that as well.

AECM with 15 DPS edge.

One of the first D3V UFs with the rougher finish. Just put some AECM scales on it.

Here you could see the difference in the finish.

and the difference in the AECM scales

Ebonite on AEBL. Thanks again for scoring this AEBL for me Grenock

Nice comparison on the finish changes. I might have an "old finish" UF somewhere. Would have to check under the couch. How do you like the 15° edge? I keep mine about 20° but I also loan out frequently to people who could conceivably do silly things.

Thanks Josh! I like the 15 DPS edge, it’s very slicy. However, the 20 DPS is probably better for hard use.
I love the ebonite, it feels good in hand.

If only I had known what a huge a-hole you’d turn out to be........

No need to thank me, thank Gus for showing off his goods!

Those full quilted handles are nice. Any idea when they changed or why?

I dunno, they do feel really nice though. I had a shiv with these style of handles too, it was also pre delta 3v.
