Forgot to post this one yesterday! More disk golf for day 4. Man I love the solo! Then today for day five I cleaned my Emerson so it will be nice and ready for me at the end of the month. 😬

Day 6

It is half past midnight, so today is Thursday even if barely.  I'm posting now because I may be otherwise occupied later today.  Seems we have some weather headed our way. :whistle:

Here I'm using the Classic to point, more or less, to where I'm sitting this one out.  The second picture is the latest advisory.
:ahhh :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh

 :like: Wish I had seen this before October 1st; it's the appropriate flip side of the Stack Challenge. I've got a number of single layer SAK, Wenger and Victorinox, all with two or three tools max (not counting T&T or keyring). This would have been fun as I just used the backside Phillips on an 84mm Vic Apprentice a couple days ago. Anyone with a Compact or Scientist will have a lot of versatility available in their two layers. Looking forward to all the pix.


Good luck to the participants!!

And day 6 already, US Navy Spartan



Sorry for the bad picture. Indoor pic, and Tapatalk always completely ruins the image quality with its compression.

Here's some more detail of the logo:

Day 5:

Alox Classic SD with my morning coffee (second cup...), it's not a SAK I carry much, since the position of the blade next to the key ring (unlike the Rambler and Manager) I find a bit annoying, but it's the slimmest SAK I own, so I thought appropriate for this month's challenge!

OK . . . I'm in . . . attempting to do it all with the single layer models I have.

Day #1  :mail:
Today was my birthday . . . technically yesterday since it's now after midnight . . . and this nifty Alox Bantam arrived.  It is, I think, my most minimalist knife now, not counting some large lock-back folders like the Vic Hunter Pro and Buck 110 Hunter. (Hadn't thought of it until just now, but the 130mm Hunter Pro is a single layer!) It's an amazing 6mm thin, and clearly the thinnest knife I've ever had. Quick and dirty pix, with smudges and reflections on the blade and combo tool. The black glove leather sheath is from A.G. Russell. The 84mm 1 and 2 layer Alox and Cellidor fit it perfectly. Great for pocket carry with things like key rings and other stuff that will ding up knife scales quickly (no clip or belt loop on the back) and it keeps pocket Crudmium out of the knife. Christened it with opening a beer that didn't have a twist-off cap (not that I look to see if they are anyway). I can readily see why this is one of the EDC favorites.

T14 day six: Another swisscard day today. Sketched a quick diagram of the thermal processes in a Combined Heat and Power plant for a uni project with the pen today. Also trimmed a couple of nails and removed gunk from under two nails with the pen blade. I might grind the nail file SD tip down to a nail cleaner tip at some point. The SD tip sucks at that.

Great backlighting! I've got an onyx and hadn't thought of it as a single layer, but that it certainly is.  :D
