Athens 2023

There is a lot of catching up to do with the Athens trip- I have a lot of photos to go through and share, but for a trip that started with no knives, it ended with three.

The first was the Victorinox Spartan, the second was this Opinel No. 2 in orange!

The third, well, it will get at least its own post, if not a whole dedicated thread, but more on that later!

This Opinel is really cool too. A little known fact about me is that I carried an Opinel No.2 in the watch pocket of my jeans through most of high school- although it was a carbon steel model while this one is am INOX version. Still, it's great to be reunited with one of my favorite models. Most people overlook the small models, but they pack a real punch for something so small!

Go on, what's the third knife?

Glad you had such a good trip mate.

It's waiting until I can take some proper pics. Trust me, it'll be worth the wait!

Also, I owe you guys some more photos!

Here are a couple more 360 photos, starting with the Theatre of Apollo in Delphi.

This one is the Hill of Kolonos, where the 300 Spartans made their last stand at the Hot Gates.

At the time, everything across the road would have been underwater, and the mountains on the other side would be virtually impenetrable had they not been betrayed.
