DAY 22

Busy day in the office, undertaking cartographic analysis to work out environmental benefits to some projects.

Sooo the No7 vs the new kid on the block....the Lionsteel Thrill in M390. I must admit the Thrill has the edge (excuse the pun), over the No7 in C70 carbon steel, in most areas....and is UK legal carry.

But the old lady in the No7 has proven herself over the sassy new vixen....

Day 22

Returned the Garden knife to the neck sheath, after replacing the handle lanyard that was removed while reshaping the inside channel to attempt to lower the blade for the picnic utensils.

The No8 Garden and the No7 trade off neck carry duties.  :tu:
@LoopCutter did it work? Can you use the picnic fork and spoon now? 

As I will need to do this mod...

No, as I reported, the pivot tang appears to be a very thin thicker, preventing the utensil to slide into the tang.

It should, even the kits box states it FITS A No8 blade.  But not my Garden No8, the tolerance is just to tight and the blade does not rest flat into the handle.
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

Day 22

Between the move and the holiday, I won't be back at work this month. Brought the 8 home to clean up properly, after roughly cleaning it at work after lunch everyday. Washed the napkin thing it rolled up in too, cause why not?

That Kudu has some size to it too Nate.
That it does.  The cutting edge is a good four inches.

DAY 23

Prep day (after morning ballet of course), for my 7 year olds birthday party tomorrow...the No8 with help from my quite unusual Laguiole frog knife...it has a ball slip lock.

So between them both, I have been preparing party food, no food processor so the sausage rolls are slow progress

Thanks! Yeah this is the 3rd or 4th thing I have made so far. This is by far my favorite, being directly on the belt means you don’t even notice it and its always handy.

#5 was sharp but a bit rough out of the envelope so I smoothed it a bit.

My No. 5 was the same way Tony.  It doesn't take much to bring it right up to speed.

Added a titanium cord end to the beach no. 8. And since it is Saturday paired it with a Super Tool for today’s carry. Have a Great Weekend awl.

I thought the waterproof No. 12 Explore would be a good choice for this rainy day.
