I highly recommend it. How hard are they to find Down Under?


They’re available on eBay Dan and has been on my list for a while. When I got the 113 I did consider it then but the 113 won out

I don’t get as much use from fixies as I do from SAKs and MTs and have quite a few, but I’m sure I’ll get one at some point

:cheers:

Day 21 Bonus

I went out and about today, and had to leave the Izula at home. :rant: The car wash ripped off my passenger side mirror, so I had to install a new one upon return. The Hiker was used to remove the trim piece that's behind it in the photo. Mirror fixed, Izula back around neck...awl is right.

Good to see a Hiker in action, I bought a spare one this week….the SAK discontinuations have got to me even though I know this wasn’t on the list (wood scales only apparently). They’re one of the best value SAKs out there imo

Day 21

Eldris with my (tentative) carry for the final week. The Executive will be returning to my keyring, supplemented by another stockman. This one has a locking main blade along with a serrated sheepsfoot similar to the one I enjoyed carrying earlier this month. It's around the same size, and I considered carrying it, but there was a nick in the spey. I got it ground out on a stone, so now I just have to clean up the edges. Finally, I decided to give a CRKT Minimalist Wharncliff a try. Closer to the size I'd want on a neck knife, and I've never really carried a wharncliff blade. Everyone rants and raves about them, so I figured I'd give it a shot.

Day 21

Quick something had to be eaten...

I might go pocket size from tomorrow on. I do like the Dragonfly a lot. It's an easy carry for me...

(Image removed from quote.)
The Dragonfly is a nice small folder

They’re available on eBay Dan and has been on my list for a while. When I got the 113 I did consider it then but the 113 won out

I don’t get as much use from fixies as I do from SAKs and MTs and have quite a few, but I’m sure I’ll get one at some point

Both Izula and 113 are great knifes.

I like it a lot more than I anticipated and would highly recommend.

I used the 152OT to cut a croissant with some cheese for a late snack.  Still haven't decided what to carry for the final week.

It is a little custom made by Newberry knives.... I'm not sure it has a model name. I really like the simple design: makes for a good neck knife or pocket knife.   :tu:

Another Buck 113!  It's such an attractive knife that I really want one.  :surrender: Looking around it seems that I can only get the S30V version if I get the Alaskan Guide series from Cabela's, but it is around $50.00 more than the standard 420C version.  How has the 420C version been holding up?  I'll probably have to get the standard model, if I get one, because while I may be good looking, brilliant and talented, I missed out on being wealthy.  :dunno:
