I think that I speak for the majority here when I say that it would be better for all if pinky abstained from contributing the the human gene pool. Who would have imagined that abstinence-only education has benefits?

Anyway, I was thinking why not open up this thread to other cool stuff, too. Stuff I know even the most dyed-in-the-wool liberal has use for in the outdoors: a good knife.
I've owned lots of nice pocket knives over the years. I think I may have been presented with my first folding knife as a nine year old when I was in the Cub Scouts. A few years later, I remember buying my first Buck knife, the model 110 folder (a real classic). Most of the folders I currently own are SOG, Buck, Gerber, Kershaw and of course, the Leatherman Wave multi-tool. However, the past couple of years I've begun accumulating a nice collection of handcrafted, custom fixed blade knives.
There is a bit of a knife making Renaissance currently happening in the US. I wasn't aware of this until I began placing orders for certain knives and had to wait months because of the backlog of commissions some popular knife makers are experiencing. The wait was certainly worth it though. The pride of owning a personally crafted knife and one that will last a lifetime is something any outdoors person will appreciate.
For every day carry (EDC), this little beauty has become my go to knife of choice. I splurged and had a knife made of S30V (a Vanadium alloy) steel forged and shaped down from a 1/8" thickness with rag micarta scales custom made by C.T. Fischer out of Elk City, ID.
It's a well balanced 3" blade with an overall length of 6-3/4". It's highly corrosion resistant; it's quickly accessible from the kydex sheath dangling from my neck and it weighs in at under 5oz sheathed. It's not a wonder that it's become my go to knife for every day carry. I do a lot of fishing in a salt water environment and with minimal maintenance, I've had zero rust issues. It hones to a razor edge and holds that edge very well.
Best of all, unlike a folder, it will never fail you at a pivot point under maximum stress.
Here are a few pics...

I don't carry in the woods. In fact, was out today in bear and cougar country sans weapon. Have seen cougar there, bear tracks in vicinity previously. It's much more interesting without anyway and that shit is not needed or wanted. Have plenty of pieces if I wanted to carry, but prefer to not. On occasion I'll haul a few out for a combo climbing/shooting trip, but find that shooting goes to shit when exhausted at the end of the day:-)
Some 9's
Above L-R
CZ Tactical Sport with an Angus Hobdell tuned trigger and competition action package.
Sig X-5 P226
Six Blackwater P226
Some .45's
Les Baer hard Chromed Custom Premier 2 above.
Wilson Combat Protector
Above, 2 Sig custom Mastershoppe German made X-6's in 9mm and .45. Amazing shooters abiet a bit spendy at the price of a a used car. Each.
___________________________________________________
Panther Arms DPMS LR-308 24 with some other crap on it at range. The scope is a $1400 item that is pretty amazing glass.
A-3 Upper
Bennie Coolie Brake (JP)
Timney Trigger
Harris Pivot Bi-Pod
Tac Latch
Leupold 6.5-20x50 MK-4 side focus and TMR Reticle

That is a VERY nice collection of firearms, sir!
I too am sending out my CZ75 to Angus for a trigger job. Have you put a gauge on and, if so, what does it break at now? What about the travel and creep?
A buddy of mine has that same Panther Arms .308. It's a beautiful rifle. He brought it out on the same hunt I killed my pig with. It was a bit over the top, though. He ended up ruining a perfectly good pork shoulder. In the sense that it was gone...completely GONE on the exit wound side of the pig. It was a much cleaner kill than mine was though.
