^Nah, Jim, you're not getting old haha! The blade has a really nice "mirror stonewash" finish, which looks beautiful in real life, but is an absolute PITA to capture a decent picture of on my iphone camera haha! It's the North Arm Skaha II. I got it a couple days ago and I'm loving it! It's very nicely done.

hah, this is the best I could do in my office lighting..you can see the reflections of the phone and scale on the mirror stonewash blade.. hah, idk, I don't think i'll ever be able to accurately reflect how nice it actually looks in a phone picture haha :zany

..well, that escalated quickly..

I feel ya Rick! I've tried to capture the aggressive stonewash finish on my Guardian3 in 3V a few times before, but never looks as good as it does in person.

ALMOST grabbed my Zaan today as well, but opted for the Military. I find myself missing the Zaan whenever I don't have it though. It's broken in sooo nicely with use and a little fine tuning.

Thanks Dan! It really is a beautiful knife. Funny you mention the picture angles, because I've thought that same thing myself whenever I've taken photos haha! Some knives have to be shot a certain way it seems for the picture to turn out well, but you're right about this one...anything works! I find it one of the best deals out there on a knife you can get for $200. In terms of materials and style. Super smooth action as well.

Springtime Shiro and the livin is easy.
What can I say? This knife is awesome. The action is so smooth. When i took it out of the box I accidentally dropped it and it landed on the flipper tab and the knife shot open. I was like ok, impressive. Lol. This knife is like if ZT knives were good. 🤭 I’m not sure what to expect from this Chromax blade steel. The clip on this is really nice.

One of my favorites 🙂
Tastes just like root beer with alcohol.
