Yes, I know there is a sub for knives but I see cool shit posted here in GD by people who aren't in the sub then forget what the title of the thread was and then get bored trying to search through every random knife related thread in GD.
This is what I usually carry for long bike rides: 
 A waved Spyderco Delica and a Kwaiken by Dynamik Blades aka Smithy

Still, sold it for what I had in it, dump marks and all. Sold my R100/7 because it was well balanced, but way too hot around town. Awesome on the highway, but when my riding turned to town mostly, it just wasn't great. I built a shed to store it in. As I was finishing building the shed, dropped a sheet of plywood on the tank, dinged it, decided it was time to let go. Not getting loved. Best bike around town I had was a 750 Kaw with shaft draft. Nimble, simple, fun. My kids want me to get a motorcycle again...I was thinking KTM...tell you what, it's not my color, but I'll give you $1k for it. But you have to deliver it and give me a Holt.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 80085: I had a two tone Rex45 pm2 that was brand new, which I sold to a friend. He has some wirey dogs that love to steel things and chew them up. He left the knife on the counter, big sneaky dog snatched the knife and took off running. His wife saw the dog had something in its mouth and reached quickly as the dog ran by to grab it out of its mouth. The blade was open… Spyderco Rex45 comes sharp as shit from the factory. It sliced the absolute fuck out of her hand, down to the bone. Damn. I'm sure she was pissed but also relieved that the dog didn't get hurt |

Even the Harley owners have good humor about it and exchange stories about which roadside they spent their weekend on. Sometimes I wonder if Wisconsin doesn't have the most motorcycles per capita of anywhere in the US, but then I think I just see more living in Milwaukee. In the summer months living off of 43, there is the constant noise of tailpipes from all kinds of motorcycles, all hours day and night. |

Yammie V Star 1100. https://i.imgur.com/MidMFrGh.jpg I'd been kind of low effort trying to sell it, but now my pickup has been parked in the back yard with a box full of dirt for the garden and yard that we've been gradually dealing with so I've been riding it since last Friday and I'm thinking I'll just keep it. It's not worth much at this point (2003 bike), so it's not like it would free up a bunch of cash, it's more just the room it takes up. If I could go back I'd not buy a cruiser, it's kind of a pig around town and that's about all I really do with it. Something like a little dual sport or adventure bike would be more fun. But it works, it's super reliable, low maintenance, and only worth a couple grand.

thinking back to your comment about it needing to be about 90% in size, I could see that, it might feel a bit better in hand, but in reality, it isn't that big really
 If you are trying to use the hole for deployment, it feels a bit thick, harder to do. Maybe if I had Kuraki size hands, but I can only roll it out. Ram lock flick and it is great. Fit and finish is great, good attention to details, sharp as fuck, fair price if you can get it at MSRP. Scales could use a bit more texture, maybe some milling in the G10, definitely need a micarta option it's a good large size working knife |

It needs to be legalized everywhere. Not because I personally want it, but it seems less harmful than alcohol, causes far fewer problems (drunken domestic assault comes to mind), and is an excuse for way too much abuse by law enforcement. |
