Like the pic! You need to clock the screws. Easy to do. Just back off the pivot till the nut part moves and then resnug.

Looks delicious. See-thru egg roll seems weird though.



Spring Roll, not Egg Roll.

What's the difference?



The biggest is that egg rolls have a thicker wheat & egg based wrap and are fried, Spring rolls have a thinner rice based wrap and are usually not fried although that can vary from country to country. Vietnamese & Thai spring rolls are generally not fried, whereas in the Phillipines, Lumpia Spring Rolls are lightly fried.

Spring rolls taste better IMO:

This model appears to have been discontinued?
It has the backspacer and clip of the new model (Gen 2?), but the old style blade,(Gen 1?), so I think this is a Gen 1.5?

I definitely prefer the new style blade with the slight belly and the jimping on the spine of the blade.

good looking knives, but F95>F3

you're on a bit of a Shiro tear here. maybe I should open my drawer up...

honestly though, even if I should sell, I have been reluctant to do so. Sometimes I just like looking, even if they are not all getting carried every day.

this could be fun if I can replace the clasp. use some quick release pins for NATO straps, I could even work in some bands if I see any I like. Supposed to be a garden party watch, so fun to play with the look.

https://i.imgur.com/iMalAOl.jpg

colors supposedly match here, not sure I am feeling it though. Funny how the 20mm feels so small compared to the 22 I am used to.

That's convenient, for sure! I'll usually leave a bracelet on for a month or so if I put one on, then go back to swapping straps. I have some straps with the quick release, but for NATOs it is super easy to remove or install the pins because the strap isn't in the way. Ultimately, real pins are a little better than quick release. The new ray strap comes with quick release unless you ask for them not to, which I did. That was mainly because I didn't trust them to use something really high quality and they'd be stuck in there for life.

that's actually what is pictured on the packaging the opener comes in, bottled water

and it makes sense when I need to pop the top before hopping in the car. keeps everything contained on Mr. toad's wild ride until I drink enough to not spill it

I thought about that, but last thing I need to be doing is looking for the tool to pop pins when I am trying to rush out the door, so I am going to give the quick release ones a try. I am also going to ask Momentum if they sell a replacement clasp or if they can recommend one. It looks like there are options online but when I was looking for a new bracelet for my Seiko, I remember I went through a bunch that were just junk with a weak clasp that would pop open all the time before I found a good one at WatchGecko.

I was talking watches with one of our law clerks because he was wearing a Shinola and that led to a talk with one of our attorneys who is wearing a a cheap black novelty watch that uses two ball bearings guided by magnets to indicate the hours and minutes, if you knock the bearings out of place they roll around until the magnet picks them up again. It's fun, but it's a kid's toy. It's also apparently broken, doesn't keep time right and it is confusing because the hour and minute position are reversed.

So I was telling him about automatic watches which got him intrigued. I was going to lend/give him my old Gevril to play with, but he is so damn skinny, the bracelet can't be reduced to his wrist size.

So hopefully this will work better.

I generally prefer liner lock over frame lock knives…but the F95 Zero does intrigue me.

I need tool for much smaller home projects and especially some easy gunsmithing.  For that I use Wera, Festool, Knipex, Sterrett and a few others.

None of us in the shop run to the truck. We're all pretty well established in our tool "collecting" and the things we know we need we just tell the guy when he comes into the shop. I also fully pay my bill when I order something, so I'm not forking out $10 a week for the rest of my life lol.
