I don't know if any body cares but a few hundred pages back I asked a question about getting a 4"-5" EDC that's under $50 for throw away duty. I got some recommendations and such and finally went with a s&w border Guard 10.1" overall and 4.4" blade. for $25 and free shipping. Yes that's right, $25.
 Non affiliated link to Amazon knife page If any one else needs a super cheap throw away knife for occasional use I would say try this. It's got an aluminum handle and a rope or seat belt cutter. I needed something with a large blade that folds up and is cheap enough that I can break it or lose it and not care. also needed to have a large handle that I can grip with heavy welding gloves on. This fits the bill quite nicely. The handle alone is over 5 inches long, nice big ass open spots for each finger to grip. I have massive hands, I use 3XL gloves, and even with gloves on I can grip this thing comfortably and open/close it. TLDR: If you need a big folding heavy duty knife for use with welding gloves that's dirt cheap this is it. If I use it once or twice and break or lose it I don't care it's only $25. I don't know where it's made. I assume that means china. But again, for $25 I don't care where it's made. |

This corner has had a tall rectangular cabinet shoved in it with the TV too high up on top for years (didn't fit in the spot where it was supposed to go...). Finally mounted the TV to the wall and got a small turntable stand for the components. Still need to hide the wires and stain the support boards for the stupidly large 400 disk changer.
 Oh and I'll take it if you want to call me hipster, but I've had a record player continuously since the 70's and still have all my vinyl from back when. |
