Kiridashi by Elder dos Santos, wrought iron on 1095.
There's something slightly different and special about uchi polishes that's a bit difficult to describe or photograph. Fascinating to look at.

Ordered a Ka-Bar Kydex designed for the full-size - but works out beautifully
Higonokami Shirogami White Paper Steel Folding Pocket Knife.
I had a mini Griptilian years ago and it got lost in a move. Very glad to finally replace it. In the bag a new thumb stud for the Bestech Sledgehammer. So much difference.
So I got a Kershaw Leek as my first EDC type knife. Only after acquiring did I bother to read local regulations. Turns out that the Leek is legal in the state of Illinois, but not in Chicago where I live and the limit is 2.5”, not 3.0”. So after perusing the Kershaw website looking for bargain options, I ended up purchasing a Shuffle, which has the advantage of having a few tools built in along with a 2.4” blade. It arrived today. Feels pretty sharp, but I’m sure I can do better!
Civivi Chronic - blue G10 & 9Cr18MoV
Civivi Praxis - shredded Carbon fibre and copper also in 9Cr18MoV

#2 veggie cleaver
Nice. I have a Praxis and an Exarch that are similar to those. I really rate the Civivi knives.
The handles on the Praxis gets me excited.
This beautiful vintage pocket knife arrived today, from a good friend and an absolute gentleman, Joseph, Vintage 1960s Solingen Gutmann Hen & Rooster 3-blade whittler in mother of pearl.
I just received my new Buck 112 Slim Pro Trx today. I bought the the 112 Slim Select when the came out and for $30 it's hard to beat. I told myself that if I liked the SS, then later I would get a Pro. Well, the wait was worth it. The scales on the Pro Trx are G10 and they replaced the funky pocket clip with something smaller. Torx screws have replaced the rivets and the fit & finish is great. The blade is Bos S30v.
This is a pretty nice knife for just a C-note.

K Sabatier 14” Chefs knife.
I have this. Picked it up at a Garage Sale for $5.
Keeps a decent edge and is comfortable to hold.

@Multum in parvo ...I am pulling your leg. LOL! I wanted to see folks reaction.
It is indeed an Ed Fowler custom 4-3/4" "Pronghorn". The pride of my small, but tasty collection.
Which also includes a P.J. Tomas Scagel repro #17.
And, of course the obligatory Randall's.
I've got a few more, but these are the highlights.

@Legion ...I had a copy, Ed wrote a 'sentiment' and closed with his standard "Have a knife day". But, I've lost it over the years.

Not an acquisition tbh, more a rethink.
Shibata x Ikeda's extremely excellent Tinker Tank tends to come with some fairly full on grind marks on the bevel. So yesterday I thought I'd try to see if I could make it even more excellent by bead blasting and then etching it.
And I think I succeeded...
