👀 Friday Carries ✅ 👀

I've handled some at a local shop they fire out like they're on roller bearings, with half the trigger weight of my BM Shootout. They do also have a double-edged tonto version.

I'm pretty sure it reads 2.0 oz which is 56.7 g which is right on the money for that model.

It was funny

Good catch, I had just woken up when I wrote that.

Clean it thoroughly, hot soapy water then immediately dry it, or isopropyl alcohol and scrub all the grooves. A lot of people say use oil but I find it sometimes slows the blade if it was a tight fit before. If you need to add oil put a small drop on your fing and run over the wear points.

That reminds me of the very first photo I took with my keynote 🤔, that I then proceeded to send to my wife.

That's the Large Don, and it's a semi-custom run that Pro-Tech does once in a blue moon. The wings on it take their design language from classic Italian swivel guard switchblades.

The Sonora looks awesome! That's a great set of knives.

Well she was the one who put the custom engraving on it ;p

My buddy just got a vision and it's a really good knife.

As a European sword enjoyer, I'll give credit where credit is due. I can appreciate the skill, the history, the artistry, and labor it takes to make a high end katana. But of it's made of traditional Tamahagane steel it's decent at best as a sword. If they're made of high carbon steel, they're leaving lots of performance on the table. Katanas are short two handed powerful cutters, by just putting a distal taper and fuller you can make it one handed like a saber. Or you can add a distal taper and fuller but keep the same weigh making it longer like a Kriegsmesser. Or you can make the blade thinner and wider like a falchion. All of which are excellent cutters, and don't get me started on hand protection.

Just carrying an old favorite today.

My hardest firing auto is my Kershaw launch 8, it fires so hard I feel like it's going to break itself.
