The mailman dropped by and left me some alox. I recently purchased two alox knives locally, bought a third the other day as well. This is a vintage old cross Victorinox Electrician Plus in silver. Pretty good condition but needed a lot of cleaning and oiling to get it where I wanted it to be.
The only knife I ever bought used that was sharp enough for my standards... Insanely fine convex edge.
And here's a group shot of all the knives I bought in the past 10 days:
And I'm not keeping them I decided to collect Cadets only, so I traded these three to a fine gentleman from Northern Europe.
I also got a package from Killroy! Fucking air mail, how is it that I get things from NYC in 7 days, while it takes 15 from Germany to Serbia??? Anyways, Killroy sent me a Leatherman Wave AND some extra goodies.
These two little blades are veeeery pretty, and once I polished up that Buck and left it on the kitchen table, it was immediately claimed by my mother. Yes, Killroy, you just pleased my mother. Please don't make shitty jokes ok.
And since the camera was already out, here's an EDC dump for today:

Chongman's wood! : bubinga, moabi and purpleheart wood, soon to be turned to SAK scales. There was also a gorgeous slab of box elder, but that's being cut as I type this. He also included an awesome SS bead with a black o-ring and some spare colored ones, some keychain stuff and cord ends. Chongman is the man. I also got a DPX HEST 2.0 from my friend Vesp, which is about the 17th trade we did He really didn't want to give this up but I made him an offer he couldn't refuse... I like this knife a lot. It has some wear marks, but I love them too, they really show character. Time to start carrying this bad boy.

Is that clip reversible? If so, reverse it so I can see. And don't say no just because you're too lazy to switch it.

To me this is better because you also get the locking side in its appropriate location. I have yet to see whether it's worth 170$ but I really like it so far
I never got myself to get something from WD, not because I don't like his work, his custom work is actually mind numbingly awesome, but I just don't use beads, at all, unless it's on a Cadet, and even then it rarely happens. The glow fob I got on my keys happened completely on accident - TECENG hit me up and asked if I could do some custom scales for him and I asked for a few of his products instead of payment. Otherwise I have absolutely no need for a glowfob. Thus a bead for a glowfob has even less purpose for me. I will need to order something from WD though. Dude is so angry and upset he probably needs some of my hard earned Serbian currency. Just kidding though, I'd pay in dollars.
