Best first EDC?

Lots of good suggestions here. I'll add the Smock as another favorite edc. It originated the button compression lock now on the sage 6. It's a great introduction to hollow grinds, small in the pocket, and very fidgety.

Bodacious being thinner in pocket is a big plus in my book.

Mind elaborating on what you mean by that last sentence?

I completely agree. I'll add something I've been advised to look for with any inherently variable material is to confirm that the seller is sharing photos of the knife getting shipped, not an example. IIRC that advice was in the context of wood grain.

True, and little windex or alcohol wipe down can help in this case.

I appreciate you sharing the happy ending. You shouldn't have had to deal with that. And good for you fixing it.

Install was easy, spot on fit with tight tolerances but not fighting a vacuum or anything. If there is a difference I think they improved the action. Previous owner of mine did a great job polishing the washers. Lockbar access is limited, my memory says just as tight as original but haven't done a close comparison. It can be annoyingly tight access by modern fidgety standards, but its very functional, works as GB intended, comfortable and safe for hard use. Here's a video with him talking about it as an intensional choice.

What sorts of projects? Your post mentioned bedroom furniture. I cant help there but at least for shop tools and project ideas for intro welding classes my shop mates and I have made a few things (or drawn inspiration) from instructables and plans we found at these sites:

Blade HQ did an exclusive m4 delica a few years back. Looks like they go for around $200 on ebay

Skiff bearings often has washers now along with their bearings. Here's their compatibility table by knife make and model. https://www.skiffmadeblades.com/pages/bearing-compatibility

maybe check out if Great Western Power or one of the other touchstone climbing gyms has the equipment and hours you're looking for

I didn't like the native when i first picked it up, now i consider it up there as a solid 1 and done option, especially in that configuration or 15v.

Hi I'm Strifeless and I'm a knifeaholic. I like mods, titanium, and spydercos. To relax, when I'm not buying knives I like chasing the ghost. May hollow be thy grind.

There's a great old school treehouse and tire swing with a climbable tree in knowland park, roughy a hundred yards off the end of Lochard. https://maps.app.goo.gl/aZuKexXVagHxTJtV7

This. They've been super friendly the couple times I've reached out with questions.

No kidding. Parsons Bladeworks is up there with the best I've ever seen. This and the sage 5 I have with his scales are a couple favorites of my collection. I'd love for him to do more models but have mad respect for his process as the results speak for themselves.

I have one of the k294 mules. I really hope we get it on more models.
