–Konosuke BY “Mount Stupid” came in. Absolutely stunning knife, but useless: the finish is so good I dare not use it or try some of my uchigumori tricks on it.

–Gareth Bull Wolf Mouse folder came in. It’s small and the design is such that when tightened so that blade is centered, it’s pretty much impossible to open as a front flipper. It did come with an aftermarket thumb stud, which I will leave on.

–Tiffany Wong (Davis Dermatology) canceled my upcoming appointment; rescheduled for December 17. Crap.
