Ad10 with a shark lock sounds epic! I’ve wanted to try a shark lock since they came out. Demko knows how to make a stupid strong mechanism. ---

I have a 20.5 and the lock is great and fidgety like most bar locks. But it’s surprisingly comfortable in the hand and acts as a thumb ramp and easy to use. ---

A Gransfors Bruks splitting axe is another I’d like to own one day. Must be some primitive desire in us to own knives and axes, but interesting that not everyone has it. ---

Check the tang stamp. Might give you a clue as to how old it is in a general sense. Gotta love Case. ![IMG_9416](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/0/8/208cbe403811309a9f32f1fd6d04bc6ad5bb12f7.jpeg) ---

In the spirit of old knives, my great grandfathers Kabar beneath my fairly recent Case. I think he used it once or twice in his life, but idk. Looks pretty mint. (Ps, don’t mind the awful picture.

Oh you did a good job on that! What a beauty! I also shave with my great grandfathers razor, though his is a 40’s Gillette. Something about a straight razor though, just so nice. ---

Shaving with a straight razor is very masculine. Best shaves of my life. Other than occasionally using a Double edge safety razor, I have not used a disposable razor since 2009. Straight Razors can be their own rabbit hole; Hardware = Razors, Brushes, Strops. Software = Shave Soaps and After Shave. I have aquired razors from 1856 to 2023. All have their own personalities and feel. ---
