DAY 1
One of my favorites.  SOG Pillar.  S35VN.  I changed up the sheath to be a dangler by using a flashlight holster trimmed down. 
They say the pen is mightier than the sword.   However... there is a dead guy here with a Bic in his hand and a Samurai walking away.

Powernoodle Day 1

Hello citizens!

I've decided to carry a Cold Steel product everyday for this challenge, in additional to whatever I usually carry.  I'm a fan of Cold Steel, especially their giant, clown shoes-esque folders.  I'll continue with my usually EDC, but add a different Cold Steel product each day and use it exclusively wherever possible.



Including fixed blades, I'm guessing that I could go for 6 weeks carrying a different Cold Steel knife each day.



Opening a package of sliced cheese with a 6" blade is always fun.  Today its the Cold Steel Rajah II, weighing in at more than 13 ounces or about 370 grams.



Deli ham and turkey with aged gouda on seven grain bread.  Toasted in butter until partially incinerated.  We all must make sacrifices for The Challenge.



The big recurve on Rajah II slices as if sanctified by food angels.



Legacy photo from the Powernoodle Special Reserve Collection.


Cold Steel's giant folders carry surprisingly easy.  The only real downside to the Rajah II for EDC is weight.  And, well, that it sticks out of your pocket 4".  Its almost twice the heft of the Voyager XL and Recon 1 XL, which will make their appearances later.  Though I will never employ a blade in self defense, the Rajah II is a formidable weapon with 14" of reach from stem to stern.

That's a cool SOG, looks pretty functional.

Though sometimes people may perceive CS stuff as tacticool, I do think some of their products are pretty cool and functional.

Fuzzy Discharge Day 1

Unfortunately, I'm still separated from my stash down south. There is however, probably enough stabby stuff kicking about the farmhouse here to get going with - a lot's from my formative years that doesn't get carried anymore, the rest inherited bits and bobs from the dearly departed.

Anyway, here's a little liner lock I picked up years ago in a lovely little fishing shop in Pitlochry, Highland Perthshire. It was the first one hand opening knife I'd ever encountered, up until that point I had no idea such a mechanism existed, and actually it was also my first liner lock, again something I was not familiar with... So I think an appropriate knife to begin the challenge with... Oh, and a pretty little damselfly...

DAY 1. Wanted to go with my old 34OT today, but I had some hard work to do. Fences have to be fixed tommorow, so guess I'll need another big blade. Plus, this knife not only had the number "1" on it, the brand is "FIRST" Tactical.

Years ago, a company (whom I've presumed is also owned by whoever owns First Tactical) a horse gear company called Noble Outfitters/Equine (they've switched between both names every couple years) called the Arena Knife, which was a blunt tip "EMT" type knife intended to save your bacon if you get caught up in a stirrup, or perhaps your horse. What I really liked was it's "Cobra Hood" type feature, the First Tactical/Vellekamp "Thumb Bridge".   The Noble knife never went  on sale, and I never got it until after it was discontinued.  This one was on sale for $25, and uses D2 steel. The D2 and "Thumb Bridge" were what drew me to it.  I didn't really like the recurve, or the linerlock.  This is my "cheap beater" knife. This is strong enough to take the worst of what I do, but if some moron borrows and ruins it, I am not out much. People are comparing it to Benchmades. No, heck no, not even close. More like import CRKT or Kershaw. That is my opinion. That being said, despite being 8CR13MOV, the CRKT Crawford Kasper is my go to "big OHO work knife". Under $20 too.

At 4 3/4" closed, it's a big boy. Blade is too big to really carry in public, so it is relegated to being a work knife. Handles are G-10, not plastic. Huge plus there in my view. Plastic or aluminum is almost all you see in sub-$50 knives.




I'm a big fan of its clip. Deep Carry is my go-to clip style.



Here's what I meant about the linerlock. It is maybe 1/8 from being flush. Only the jimping peeks above the handle.



Used this knife to cut weed eater string, some overgrown bushes and grass behind the garage, and cutting some grass out of a blueberry bush in the orchard. It cannot do pull cuts very well, and hurt like heck. Guess tommorow, it's back to a hawkbill.




And since I mentioned it, a photo of the Noble which I have yet to own. I like the fact that it is a back-lock too.



I like this First Tactical design the best, and since it's on sale for $45, am about ready to pull the trigger on it. It uses the same AUS-8 steel and a PE version of the same blade as the Arena Knife, but is PE, and adds a strap cutter. It also has the same clip I like on the Krait.  I love strap cutters on my knives. I was originally going to buy this model, but the Krait was much cheaper. I will be yanking out the seat ruiner and hot spot glass breaker, though.
