Picture of the Day No 290 "Ain't Peanuts"

It's a goooood Friday, and you're free. But is it good, and are you free? Actually, I should have been at the tattoo parlour now, which I'm obviously not.

What I was supposed to do and why I'm not there is a long story, but I can easily express it that I'm not completely satisfied with how Tello.ink treats its customers at the moment. However, I intend to come back to it if and when it gets resolved, rest assured.

In the meantime, enjoy the April weather whether you like it or not. In this part of the world, "April weather" is an expression. One second it's raining, mixed with snow; the next, it's just cloudy, and suddenly the sun shines for a couple of minutes. 

That's pretty much how my mood has been during the day, as well. 

"Ain't Peanuts"

The advantage of being free and the weather being bad for knife throwing means that things are getting done here at home. Among other things, I have had time to vacuum the car that was filled with sawdust from the target material that was transported in it.

I have also had time to enjoy a cup of coffee with, um, peanuts. Although I must admit that I first drank the noble drink and then ate the nuts. The combination may not be entirely brilliant, it must be admitted.

The knife is an old acquaintance, a Spyderco and not just any other, but number five in the "Sage series", the one that is a tribute to different lock types. This specific model pays tribute to the Compression lock, which is Spyderco's own invention that they are not particularly modest about including in known lock designs.

By that, I just mean that I don't really know if that variant is on par with locks such as back lock, liner lock and frame lock, which are other variants that are highlighted. Well, here it is anyway. It is not a favourite of mine. I think it is a lock that is difficult to release and has a tendency to pinch your hand and be in the way if you grip the knife a little harder.

Incidentally, no Spydercos are being bought at the moment. I think both they and Benchmade have suffered from price hubris.
