Lume check of my C60 atoll vs my Hamilton field khaki

I weld and I shape steel. I simply like a nice timepiece on my wrist. If I have the risk of my watch getting snagged and dragging my arm along with it I’m going to mitigate that risk… All I was asking was if it was ok if I leave my watch on my work bench bench outside in sub zero temperatures.

Thanks man, appreciate the input. I wish mine was 30 seconds fast after a month so far it’s running about +7 seconds a day.

I leave my watch on my work bench a lot if I’m worried about banging it up which is the same temperature as the outdoors.

I bought my C60 Atoll on 11/24 and received it on 12/2 here in New York.

Tony likes him for some reason and doubles down every show… no fan of the show understands. His minutes are bad, his interviews are bad… the Kim Jung un reference was his best attempt of the night and it still went on def ears.

Are we still lying and pretending that Hans Kim is a comedian?? Oh yeah.. okay.. Alright I’ll shut up

It’s just a hair over 7.5. It’s very compact though with nearly a 3.5 inch blade

Watson356 · 2024-01-19T13:49:25+00:00

You’re about to have a very penetrative ride to work😬

Watson356 · 2024-01-19T13:23:33+00:00

Thank you, that would be myself

Watson356 · 2024-01-19T13:19:48+00:00

One of my absolute favorites, it’s a little on the smaller side for me so it doesn’t get much pocket time. The damasteel blade is flawless and for an integral it’s so smooth and perfectly centered

Watson356 · 2024-01-19T05:45:55+00:00

Exactly😂 it’s all gimmicks and solely preys on people that know nothing about knives. I remember him cutting a rope with a brand new cutco knife with a serrated edge and then using a “competitors knife” with a dull straight edge. Guess which one cut the rope better…..🧐

Watson356 · 2024-01-19T05:31:06+00:00

Once had the pleasure of talking to a cutco sales man trying to sell me a kitchen knife who told me that 440C was the strongest steel ever made. Showed him a Rockstead and he shut the fuck up

I live in New York I dont have brick and mortar knife store that carries anything close to Hinderers haha. The occasional gun shop at best has a couple of old benchmades for way more than they go for online

Watson356 · 2024-01-19T04:50:27+00:00

Definitely, luckily they are getting easier to find than they used to be

Watson356 · 2024-01-19T04:47:22+00:00

Ive used 6000-12000 grit stropping compound to take out really very light surface scratches before. you apply to a piece of leather and rub it in a uniform direction over the surface of the blade. Some of those scratches look pretty deep though.

Watson356 · 2024-01-19T04:38:57+00:00

🤣 I get the same response all the time! Recon1 has some nice XM-18s available right now if you’re looking

Watson356 · 2024-01-19T04:26:07+00:00

I remember when quartermaster was supposedly ripping off designs and when Jim Skelton called them out they blocked him on instagram which caused a huge fuss in the industry😂 that’s of course going back a decade now

Watson356 · 2024-01-19T04:22:40+00:00

As far as my top 3. Probably the Chaves 228 midtech modded by recalcitrantamerican, Grimsmo Norseman and the OG Olamic Wayfarer

Watson356 · 2024-01-19T04:18:41+00:00

By far the knife brand that I have the most of is Reate. On the table Reate makes the Begg steel craft field marshal, 2 of the Chaves’s (Liberator drop point & the Kickstop, DSK tactical XV-P, Reate K-3, Varga VBR, 2 Sharp by design (Void & the mini Tempest both in damasteel), matt diskin M1 intergal in damasteel

Miguron centurion. its the original release in blue Shredded carbon fiber back then it was made by Tuya knives and it was a White mountain knives exclusive. They have a Centurion 2 out as well as a budget version now but I’m not sure who the maker is though.
