I've been spending more time in the darkroom lately. One of the things I've been having fun with is finding old negatives to print. Some have turned out quite nice given the age and lack of care the negatives have had. This is a shot from about 1988 while I was working at UAL on the widebody overhaul line. We were bringing a Flying Tigers 747 freighter into the dock that night. This was shot at about 3am or so.

I'm happy with how well it came out in a frame.
I have the Leek as my EDC and it’s great. But I’ve always wanted the Benchmade Emissary. It’s similar profile to the Leek but not quite as small and thin. It’s discontinued now but there are still a few to be found.My much loved Kershaw Leek broke (user induced abused). The question I wrestle with is to replace it with a Leek or a Civivi Elementum?

Can I get a link to that $60 CZ? The rest sounds good except H45 goes to bed at like 7:30.... ;-)Replace this with a CZ!
Then later just pick up another Leek, but not as a replacement, just as a new knife. Introduce it to the CZ one evening and the three of you have a good time and a few laughs while enjoying a little rye and sending late night texts to H45.
I believe the older ones are Heiser. They then when to Johnson (?) and, last I knew, Sullivan in Orlando made them.Does the Randall knife have a Heiser sheath? I see those sold by Heiser collectors and they always have Randall knives in them.

I like to think of this as my gentleman’s knife.
The looks of the Leek never caught my eye and the straight edge makes me think "boxcutter".
My current favorite EDC is the Benchmade Mini Bugout at 1.5 oz. I have both the white and carbon fiber versions.

My around the house box cutter is Kershaw Launch 10.

<p>It’s obvious why the Launch 10 earned the nickname of “The Claw” here at Kershaw HQ. It features an aggressive, hawkbill-style blade with angular planes on both blade spine and handle. Yet even with all that angularikershaw.kaiusa.com
I have two Boker Kalashnikovs, one mini Kalashnikov, and a Strike. The Strike is what I carry most. The Strike, one Kalashnikov, and the mini all have red blades.Which Boker ?
Those Randall's are nice, but it's hard to stick that one in your pocket !
Is that really yours ? If so, you've been sandbagging us !!!
Y’all are going the wrong way in price point. lol
Yea.....I should have started with a $3.99 gas station pocket knife and then sought advice herein.Well Duh...
Edged Tools has INGO pricing if he knows you are a member that helps and will order what you want.
Ready for the BBQ.
I am not a big must carry a knife all the time and most of mine are simple pocket knives (think Boy Scouts or Swiss Army). The only ‘nice’ one i own is this (because I got a good deal on it and it was cheap). Not the best but serves its purpose.Y’all are going the wrong way in price point. lol
Except [mention]Born2vette [/mention] , I have no idea what direction he is heading.

I am a tough man that lives a hard life. My gear has to be up to the challenge.Or just go get a Stanley mini pry bar if you are breaking knife blades.
