Nerding out...

So I love geeky type shit. What of it!
I am probably pre-ordering this Spyderco Para Military 2. I have a similar type of knife called the Caly 3 which is also shown below. It can be hard to justify a large knife for EDC and the Para 2 is a tad longer in length of blade and total length but I think its comprised features make it all the worth while. High end steel, g10 handles, flat ground blade, big lanyard hole, torx screws for serviceability and its made in the USA.

I also picked up this Quark 123 Tactical as well as a Nitecore D10 pocket clip to do my own mod. The clip will allow for a deep pocket carry of the light which I felt was missing in its design. The clip version of the light is not really designed for pocket carry.



Finally, I thought this post on Selectism was neat. Actual knife/tool carried by German troops. Sturdy locking blade, saw and etc. but also the nice rich green sets it off from the regular version.
