Ugh.. Mondays. The Champ's still comfortably tucked in its ~~bed~~ sheath as it's way too early to be awake.

The SwissChamp next to my normal EDC Spartan. Kinda like a McLargeHuge burger next to a lettuce sandwich.

Trying out my yard o' lanyard (which is usually on an EDC carabiner) on the SC. Doubled up paracord, with chain sinnet for quick release and sliding knot for wrist strap/belt looping etc.

Post by: FeebleOldMan on February 08, 2016, 02:55:09 AM: The idea came from watching NIKOS DOULAS on YouTube, but I'm using the hook as the stand instead of the blade for safety reasons. His Victorinox tricks videos are worth watching!

sog straight slicer spring sprung :(

Was doing maintenance on my field tools when I realized the tension spring for the knife lockbar on the SOG PowerAssist broke. The straight blade is unable to lock open or closed. Tweezers and copious amounts of shaking were used to dislodge the broken spring. Small flathead was used to push the lockbar into position so the safety catch could engage. Luckily this didn't happen while outfield. Waiting for SOG warranty department to respond to email.

Yeah I had to get them via a friend in Japan a couple of years ago. The long spork is a lot more pleasant to use than the short one and has been my Every Day Cutlery since I got it.

Now that Amazon has implemented global shipping, it's slightly easier to obtain!
