:iagree: good uses and observations awl :tu:

FX is the first 93mm SAK I’ve carried for months after the minimal SAK, EDC in DEC, 111mm and poker face challenges, it’s good to be back

During the 111 I got used to having a heavier SAK in my pocket, so not really finding the FX size/weight a problem but agree you notice it over the huntsman

You feel properly equipped with the FX, a professional tool, a genuine contender for a one only SAK if it ever came to that ( :ahhh :ahhh please cover the ears of young children, such thoughts should not be encouraged :twak: )

:drool: that looks to be a most refreshing drop Surge, do like a nice ale :cheers:

Great work, awl!

I could be wrong, but I think it’s Happy Birthday today to JR aka MadPlumbarian -  :cheers: I’ll definitely be opening one later to mark the occasion, and yeah, ok it’s Saturday!

Day 6

Early morning courier dropped off a parcel, the awl made light work of the tape - it’s an insert for a Paterson daylight developing tank to take sheets of 5x4 film, should be much better than the square tanks I sold a while ago which sadly worked best in a darkroom - the flow was too slow for the edge effect developers I prefer. Digital photography is great, but I do enjoy developing B&W film - been doing it for 50 years now, gulp!

Not to derail, but what do you shoot with equipment wise? I started with film but made the change to digital and never looked back. From time to time I miss film but full frame digital gets me close enough.

Not at all! I’ve used tons of kit over the years from minor sub-miniature to 5x4 inc. digital H Hasselblad (an H3DII50) when I was doing weddings as a sideline. Favourite cameras? Leica reflex (still have an old SL2), Rollei SL66 and 6008 (better to my mind than V-series Hasselblad, but others will differ), Ebony 45SU (sold at a profit to fund the digital Hasselblad) and H series Hasselblad. All gone now to fund a lifestyle change! I currently only have the SL2 and the use of a friend’s aged Linhof Master Technika from time to time for fun, though I might try and get a 5x4 when I retire. I have to say that all modern kit is fantastic, but I miss the craft aspect to photography, but then I’m a dinosaur! :rofl:

My uncle says the same. He is a wedding/portrait photographer and works in a photography store. Says digital doesn't have the character of film. It took him a while to switch to digital for weddings. I shoot with a Canon 5D IV & Canon 80D. Took me a while to figure out my lens situation. Lots of trial and error

Day 6
Modded the FX. I don't ever use a lanyard ring and remove them as soon as the knife comes out of the box. So I filed the majority of it off with the swisstool spirit file and then got it smooth with the Leatherman diamond file. Finished with 400 grit sandpaper. Even though I taped it the file kissed it once. No big deal. Now that I got the first scratch out of the way I won't be treating it like a safe queen anymore.
