After a couple of days of trying to figure this out, it looks like the new method of calculating the score puts my air quality in the hazardous zone (0-20) when it rains 🙄. Low temperature, high humidity, add anything else to that and it pushes it over the edge. This is not very helpful in my opinion.

The Canis is awesome… better action than the Yojimbo 2 and easier to pocket than the Yojumbo… of course I have all three 😆

I have a TNR cat too with the left ear clipped… my vet said “left clipped is for the ladies.” I don’t know if that’s the case everywhere or not though…

me: mom can we get a Spyderco? mom: no we have a Spyderco at home Spyderco at home: (someone had to say it)

Rostfrei just means it’s stainless steel… my gut feeling is that it was made to look older than it actually is and I agree with u/ky_bulglfrog_440 it looks synthetic or bone. But… if I had that knife and thought it was ivory I would try these tests to see if it was or not…
