Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WIC: As I said, the smoke shop did not have a knife, but two tourist shops did. In one shop they wanted $26, which I felt was too much, and I would have had to assume the name Omar, which I was fine with for a limited time. But the second shop won with the $13 knife. It was more than I wanted to spend, but they had my name. oh yeah https://i.imgur.com/oY4KMW8.jpg And button lock |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WIC: oh no in my hunt for a knife, I overlooked a number of key aspects that cannot even be overcome by the $13 pricepoint. One might expect the centering to be a hair off, or even rubbing https://i.imgur.com/noBfEi9.jpg one might expect blade play up and down and side to side and a loose pivot one should probably expect China one should probably expect a plastic handle one should probably expect to be able to flick it open because it is so loose (but not flick it shut for some reason) one should probably expect the action to be gritty even though the pivot is super loose but serrated? https://i.imgur.com/qnOZ5ok.jpg tip down only? https://i.imgur.com/sn3XLrj.jpg and even though it looked like a knife, it had trouble cutting this beignet https://i.imgur.com/axSdrYs.jpg a lot of trouble I fear I have wasted $13 to keep you all entertained for a few nights the things I do for you... That's a 3/4 serration... |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WIC: forgot my shitty knife, couldn't have used it here anyway since it doesn't cut https://i.imgur.com/ilNc8x5.jpg https://i.imgur.com/O15wBXS.jpg Old Guy sitting across from me a ways away has a pocket knife in his dress attire. It is tip up carry, but he has a knife. Airports should have spots you can dump off your low-end knife and others can pick them up as folks are going in or leaving airports. Like bicycles in Amsterdam, or umbrellas in Portland. Just have to figure out how to keep the children out of them. |

He was a cop from the next Parrish over and told me about where to go. The trolley was a pretty neat part of getting to the cemetery too. |

It's in the opening of the Kershaw that it fails, and to be fair, it only fails when you compare it to better knives. I'm used to better knives, so I expect more. Once you acknowledge that it's a $45 knife, things become much more acceptable. As a test drive vehicle for the real thing...it answers the questions I needed answered. Is it apa-lay-shin Or appa-latch-ean? I go with the 2nd pronounciation. But I'm a Southern refugee, who spent alot of time on the west coast as a kid and while in the Military, and currently resides in Missouri, so I really dont have a dog in that fight. |

I think it was a place called the Red Snapper we were in waiting for a table. We were huddled up next to the raw bar with drinks waiting for a table. A young guy behind the counters entire job was to shuck oysters all night. I watched and noticed he was throwing a bunch out while he shucked. So I ask him why. He said they were too big and people only like the small ones. I said WTF I'll eat them. I must have had $100 worth of oysters till we got a table for free. On a side note. He ask where I was from. I said Pennsylvania. He said, Oh yeah, that's where the vampires are from...lol. NOLO |

Just figured it was just a difference in dialect. When we talk about Lancaster up here, it's pronounced Lanc-aster. People not native say Lan- caster. We were in Florida once an that county came up in conversation, and a couple standing by us said, you must be from PA. Because we said it right and they said it wrong  |

Other than the initial use of S30V, any thoughts on the Military 2 that's coming out soon? I like my circa 2004 Military, but it has the Teflon washers and no full size liners, making the action stiff and the overall feel a little weak. I might bite on a sprint run with some cool colors and steel.
