I guess I bumped something so they aren't lined up and there is a slight false perspective. They are nearly exactly the same size.
I quite like the Limousin. It has all the standard fare, grass, pepper, & toffee, but the barrel choices seem to add some character. Very smooth for a rye too. It would be a regular purchase if available around here.

And it was cold AF, and we were drinking to stay warm. Pretty sure I was petting a trash panda at one point thinking it was his shop cat. And my Japanese is rudimentary at best now. 20 years ago I was able to be understood without too much laughing, snickering, and finger pointing. But since St Louis is such a hotbed of Japanese tourism, I’ve fallen out of practice. |

From me sending the payment to receiving the knife today, with both of us using 2 day Priority Mail , 12 days blew by. USPS and everyone else are on their heels I guess with the volume.
This is a customized SAK from a gentleman on Bladeforums. Nothing too grand but he slicks up the deployment of the blades and other tools and attaches custom scales he mills out of G10. Sometimes, like this one, he uses factory metal scales. Also, the non show side has two holes milled in to accept a variety of screwdriver/Torx/metric, etc. bits. Neat.

Cool. I was wondering when it was landing. It's a neat piece.
