Night Market is Here! :)

Just last Friday, the local summer night market opened up.  I couldn't wait and so I rode my bike out (to avoid the crowds of the parking lot and 'cause I like to bike).  It was so fun!

First thing's first, I got myself a balut.  :)

Yum!  Balut... Since they only give you a plastic spoon to eat with, I had to use my SRM710 to crack open the egg.  :P  For the fun of it, I'd also gotten "plastic balloons."

There were so many other foods to choose from!  And plenty of booths featuring random trinkets as well.

The most popular food item there has definitely got to be the roasted corn!  You can either get it on the cob or in a cup.  There's a condiment table set up to throw in your mixings and you're good to go!  My favorite is the olive oil (or butter) + green onions.  Delicious!

I can't wait for next weekend to roll by so that I can stop by again.  :)

SanRenMu 710 Modification

I love my SRM 710.  :)  I still can't believe that you can get such a great knife for only about $8.00 shipped!  Well anyway, today, I got a little bored of the black and so I decided to sand it down.  Here's how it turned out:

This is the front handle.  I sanded off the front and made sure that that weird little fireball decal was gone. I'd decided to leave the edges a little black to give it that worn look.  :)  I left the edges black.

On the backside, I decided to leave it black with silver accents (opposite the front handle).  I had made the mistake of not masking off that little section by the clip and scratched the black portion when my hand slipped.  :(  It's alright though.

I'm extremely happy with how this "mod" came out.  Even though I did scratch that back portion, and it's not the best job ever, it's alright because it makes this knife more... MINE.  :D

UPDATE:  (31 May 2012)

I'd added a lanyard to it this morning.  :)  Yay!

Sweet, Delicious Carnage!

I'd come home today after some errands to find a gigantic jackfruit sitting out back, waiting for me to open it up.

The jackfruit, counting down the seconds to its massacre by the infamous SRM 710.

The aftermath!  Oh, the carnage!  Sweet, delicious victory!  And there stands the SRM 710 in all its triumphant glory.  :)  That thing can take on just about any job I throw at it.  So far, my favorite knife and well within budget of only about $8.00 shipped.  :)
