I see that you, too, have a 154CM blade.

The new ones are sporting S30V steel, but I simply love this 154cm steel. What a great edge it takes!   :tu:

Oh, no, I like the way it looks now. Very cool. Looks used and loved.   :like:
Definitely loved for sure. Haven’t carried it in a while. It does open quickly with very little flicking. And when you go to close it...it drops to a certain point and will not close on your fingers. I like that!

My 940 is.....20 years old? Maybe more?

Opens as smooth as silk. Still has a perfect lock up.  :tu:

Smooth as silk - mine is the same way!
That sounds about right...I was thinking 25 myself.  It’s a shame he passed away almost 2 years ago.

So will you be changing up the rotation and will you go with only one knife?

Here's my personal philosophy for a 30-day challenge: I use one (1) knife for the entire 30-days.

I think that's the best way to use a 30-day challenge. I think that's the best way to learn about a knife's abilities and limitations. And, get to know a knife.

So, for a 30-day Fixie challenge, I'd choose one (1) knife, at this point my odd little Ulu, and use that exclusively. I'd probably also carry a SAK, but only use it when the fixie could not get the job done. Anything else doesn't seem as useful to me.

I was doubtful about doing a 111mm SAK challenge. I used a big Outrider. Wow! It wasn't that big a deal to carry an Outrider on a day-to-day basis. That's the benefit of a 'one-knife 30-day challenge', from my experience.

I agree...one knife. For all the above mentioned reasons.  :like: :cheers:

I don't spend a lot of time in this thread when I'm doing a 30-day challenge because....I only have one (1) knife! Not a SAK + other blades....  :rofl:

I was just thinking, how many fix blade knives do I have...I think 3. The Randall Woodsman, a Ka-Bar that is brand new in the bike frame pack, and a Izula which is a 3 inch blade. The Randall Woodsman would be my choice.  :tu:

Nice!  :like:

Thanks!

Confession time: When I was getting the Mora out, it stuck in the sheath and I fumbled and dropped it. Fortunately I was wearing shoes, but got a neat little cut in the leather  :facepalm:
