What did you buy today?

[Suffolkrafter]

One of those little square signalling mirrors off Amazon. I will be returning it.

 

[Tengu]

I got the chip on my windscreen fixed.

It had expanded from a chip to a star.

I dont want it to fragment suddenly.

A one terabyte SSD for the expanding collection of photography. €55. Every time I look at how affordable storage is, these days, I think back to the days of five and a quarter inch floppy diskettes...

I read the 1st sentence wrong and nearly choked on my coffee.....definitely signs I need a break.

 

[GSW]

Have you bought any new 'shinies' today you'd like to show off?

To start off, I've just ordered myself a shiny new GB Wildlife hatchet....

100 Water purification tabs.
A new Chinese diesel heater controller.
A new Horizone Redback to replace the very worn out one. 2/3 hours making those specialised adaptions to make it personal.

 

[Keith_Beef]

Size 3 (8 litre) potjie. 9.5kg empty, 17.6kg full of soup.

 

[Robson Valley]

Over 2 sessions, $90.00 computer service help with software installation and financial account wizardry that I have NOT been able to fix, myself, in the last 6 weeks. Money very well spent.

Not bought today, but collected from my folks' place where it was delivered. Lion Steel M4 in Magnacut and black G10

 

[Herman30]

Sniperveil 150x150cm in swedish M90 camo.


Storage bag for said sniperveil.


Camoflaged my hiking poles.

 

[moocher]

A Romanian army canvas rucksack grade 1 .Damn you eBay !

 

[Tengu]

Didnt buy but was given.

A whole load of those jigsaw mats to go in the tent. Though these are big so I might well cut them to a more handy size.

What best to cut with? They are that firm soft plastic sponge stuff.

Stanley knife perhaps?

Bought a Manly Peak in D2, two-handed opening to comply with German knife carry law. My first Bulgarian knife, they're supposed to do a great heat treat. It was between this and 14c28n at nearly the same price. Pictures in a couple days.

Hi Tengu I would probably melt it with something like an electric soldering iron,

 

[Robson Valley]

Two sets (a pair and a 6-pack) of hammered, stemless copper wine/drink cups.
I hope that I can keep them bright and shiny.

I have the Patriot in D2. It's definitely hard and a little more challenging to sharpen but a great little knife. It hasn't shown any sign of rusting either.

A brand new, (price tags still on,) merino wool zip up top by Dale of Norway for a measly six pounds, from my local charity shop.
The price in Danish money is horrendous! Works out about £200!
It's so thick and warm , a delight to wear on this cold and rainy day.

Yeah I already have an EnZo and a Ganzo in D2 so I'm familiar with the steel. I like it a lot. For knives that aren't used for chopping, something hard and abrasion-resistant is great.

It came with the usual steep secondary bevel edge, not good for wood. Took a bit of time grinding down the edge to a lower angle, probably have a bit more that could come off it. It gets REALLY sharp and seems to hold it well so far. Surprisingly comfortable handle given how short and slim it is.
