I guess I could've bought one of those instead. I didn't do a lot of comparison shopping to be honest. I was back on the liquor for the holidays, so I ended up purchasing quite a few items around 2am-4am which I'll call liquored up impulse buys. I had started off looking at an Edge Pro system, but I ended up liking the Wicked Edge system more. I know it's a lot of cash, but it's going to get a lot of use.

Since I've been thinking a lot more about knives in general these days, my latest liquored up impulse buy is a new folding knife. I settled on a knife made by Spartan Blades called the Akribis (pronounced ak-ree-VEES). Spartan is a company owned by a couple of former Special Forces snipers and they give all of their knives Greek names. Akribis means accurate & sharp. I love this knife. The craftsmanship is perfect and I love the design. I have large hands and it fits them like it was made just for me. And the flip open action is great and sounds almost like a switchblade. Plus, it's beautiful. I got black steel with a gray titanium frame and carbon fiber inserts on the sides.
