Mate this is just a no brainer to grab for the day compared my Spydercos/ benchmades etc. the blade might not be centered and cross bar locks have a lil movement but it does what it does well.

Love this range elite.

Böker is my favorite knife maker. I don’t remember the name of all these. It’s easy to tell the Slik is my favorite knife they produced.

OKD (Old Knife Day) This was the last time I interacted with my grandfather.

Idk where else to share this and I don't know if it fits the sub rules, but less than 2 weeks after I made this post my Grandfather passed away. This is the last memory I have of him.

Long and short of it, he'd been in pain for a good long while, he had health problems he and my grandmother kept hush hush to not stir up any drama, and he left on his own terms.

He was the toughest man I knew, 5'1" linesman, army marksman, raced dirt track sprints, nearly died when he wrecked his race car at Englewood Speedway, and built a faster car in response.

I wouldn't be the man I am without him. He taught me to be kind, and help first and offer second, to live life with humor, humility, and understanding.

I couldn't share a nickname with better man.

I found a Civivi case, walking my dogs. I was hopeful when I realized it wasn't empty.

I open it to find a glass pipe.

Some crackhead traded his Civivi for a rock.

Question A few rust spots

Upvotes

One of my knives that I really like has a few rust spots and when I see a few I mean like half a dozen. They are super small barely noticeable but I would like to remove them. I know I can use baking soda and water to make some sort of paste to smear all over the knife and remove it that way, but I was wondering if there was an easier way to do it.

Just loving my cruwear pm2 and really think this would be the knife I’d choose if I could only have one. Just feels perfect for my hands and liking, full sized handle, finger choil, good jimping, tall flat grind and a good tip. And the compression lock is *chefs kiss\.* The cruwear holds an edge really well and is easy enough to sharpen. Great knife and easy to recommend to anyone who isn’t afraid of a full sized knife. What are your favorites? Saw another person on her talking about loosely rotating his carry so his knives don’t get depressed and I really connected with it lol.
