Slowly getting my eye sight back, atleast in one eye.Itll be a few more months before getting the other eye operated on and be able to drive again.In the mean time Ive been working on an assessment criteria for knife testing. I usually like owning and using a knife for 6 months before before critiquing it. However Im stuck at home all day with nothing to do other than bitch at the NDIS. I have a few more Winklers and LT Wrights on my list to purchase and test.

I started selling off half of my knife collection after recent health diagnosis and went through the standard depression BS. Then thought, well Im stuck here all fukn day. Im going to do what I enjoy.Blades !. So over the next few months now that I can see properly again. Im going to get stuck back into writing about knives .Heres the first look at the forests Edge.I havent even cut a piece of cardboard with it yet. Only just came out of surgery this week. I have two more Winklers on order. A Lost lake Camp knife 6.5 inches walnut and the SD2 maple.

Some great ideas here. Leatherman should capitalize on them by making aftermarket tools based on the Alone mods.

One of my all time favorite blades now in Black Out. Designed by Ed Calderon.

8 Inch blade in San Mai with stainless guards and G10 grips. The OSI version has a single grind the OSS also has the double grind but with the kraton grips.

Id been looking for a Bark River Nessy For many years and was determined not to miss out on this run of knives, especially in cru-wear. I used to collect Nessmuk knives and must have had atleast 8 of them from all over the world including one from South America made in Damascus from motorcycle chain.

Slightly larger than my military and hiker models. I mainly purchased it for the main blade not having serrations.
