Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WIC: Nice, our friends like to go down your way to have beach time. Looks like I am right in between the Cypress and Woodlands Killens locations. Will have to see if opportunity arises. For tonight, wife found a food truck park around the corner that was still hopping. Awaiting the bounty now. https://i.imgur.com/iAKZKur.jpg https://i.imgur.com/0F7auet.jpg Love food truck gatherings |

And I'm pretty sure it was for dispatching smaller pest like raccoons that can't figure out they are not wanted in an area. The dog was the polite warning. |

 Father forgive me for I have sinned. At dinner, my oldest child required a knife to cut broccoli, (she won't eat the stems). I know we are only supposed to use our expensive pocketknives to open letters, but the child was in need. I loaned her my ZT 0640 so that she was not forced to suffer the indignity of eating the stems. Please forgive my sins. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WIC: so what do you think? I have read people saying they love it, similar to CRK etc, but the design fails to really pop for me. It's no CRK. Insanely thin and light, action was mediocre out of the box, flipper tab is very small but once you get the hang of it, it works fine. Construction is goofy. I'll get some pics but it's kind of bizarre. It has tiny KVT bearings. There is a metal race inlaid in the CF handle, then a bearing, then a washer, then the blade, and continuing on the other side of the blade is a washer, bearing, washer, Ti handle. Thanks to a tip on BF I removed all of that, put in some skiffs, and it's much improved. I hate the pocket clip. It's tiny, and it wraps around the back of the handle and is attached by the body screw and standoff. I may keep it for a while but I don't know if it will be a long term addition. |
