great day everyone! ! ! I’m Thatguy KI!!! New to the group and the pipe community. Haven’t even purchased my first pipe yet, but I met a great group of guys through my brother Londy who is a member here, and jumped at the opportunity to be apart.

Re: Defensive and Everyday Carry
Ok TPL brothers, I was gifted this new “Sharp & Pointy” Kershaw Livewire OTF auto (new model with Magnacut steel) by my friend that now lives in Tennessee. He also custom laser engraved it for me. He has a fairly powerful laser engraver🙂. I have decided to retire my tank of an EDC I have carried nearly every day since it was new for the last 25 years. I even carried it on my most recent plane ride…which happened to be a return trip from previously mentioned friends home. It’s been many years since I have been on a plane😉. My retiring EDC is a Benchmade Elishewitz Sentinel. The blade use to be solid black, and it has been sharpened so many times, the point has migrated up and back. The blade use to be about 1/4” longer, it’s still a great knife, but it’s not an auto.
I blocked out the serial number on the Kershaw, hence the “black blob” on the blade near the “ejection port”.

Re: Pipe refinishing
@Whoispra
I find that sanding to 600 grit works pretty good for an everyday pipe, as long as I follow it up on the buffing wheel. I have some green buffing compound that is pretty coarse for buffing compound. I can use it to remove the “extra” black stain on a contrast stain bowl, it leaves the bowl pretty smooth. After the second color, I go through the brown, red, white compound then carnauba wax and polish. The pipes end up nice and shiny for everyday use.

Good adviceRe: What are you guys smoking right Now?
I hauled this Savinelli Silver 804KS out of one of my travel pouches for this evenings smoke. I have it loaded with Planta Anno MMXV (2015) “Brazilian Mixture”. I am proceeding to get loaded with a snoot full of Tullamore Dew “Do the Dew”🙂
P.S. I love this tobacco blend😋
Ok, I’m not really getting loaded, just a shot will be fine👌🏻
Hmm, Savinelli Italian pipe, Savinelli branded Zippo made in Pennsylvania, Savinelli pipe tool, and Savinelli pipe stand, Irish Whiskey, Brazilian blend tobacco, shot glass from Kentucky, pipe cleaner holder made in Italy for SPC in South Carolina, an “around the world” evening😬
