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:

I don't like what's happened to a lot of the states that have legalized it though, even if I agree in principle.

The government shouldn't be able to regulate what an individual chooses to put in their body.

Maybe if it becomes widespread enough it will be better but Washington has been ruined since legalizing pot. I'm not smart enough to know if it's coincidence more than causation (I'm leaning towards the more pro drug people also being very liberal being the cause more than the pot itself) I don't want to see any other states getting ruined like my home state did though.

Here's some knives to apologize for bringing politics in here.

All of this. I'm not going to be keeping mine either. It's a good knife but a bit larger than it needs to be, and far heavier than it needs to be. I think it needs the mini treatment to really meet it's full potential, just like the RSK.

Not true. There is significant cost to the rest of the population because people are stupid.

I've told you about the idiots doing fentanyl, calling the sheriff right before they do it, so they can be brought back to life just in time (hopefully) only to do it again. THose people are not only a drain on society normally, they are costing obscene amounts of money in their rescue. I feel like the cost of one Narcan (i think that is it) is thousands and thousands. If you have to outfit each squad car with one or two and have backups because these little shits can afford the drug but not the remedy, why should we make it easier for them? Maybe the policy should be fine, do what you want so long as your baby at home doesn't die, we save your sorry ass once, and after that, you do it again, you just dead. But then you get into the argument that it is not their fault their parents were so shit that they were not raised right and society as a whole failed them for not giving them better parents or making up for the shitty parents. Or that they were genetically predispositioned to it and fuck em anyways.

Geez DFARM, why do you go down these roads? You trying to start the trainwreck of the thread just so you can watch?

Fun fact, my younger brother is less than two weeks out of inpatient rehab because he OD'd on fentanyl. He's a retard.

I suppose we'd need to take the safety nets away to make it so people are responsible for themselves.

I thought the same thing when they were arguing about what to do with "the jungle" in Seattle. Just give everyone as many drugs as they wanted, only rule is that they have to do them in front of the person who gives it out.

I have questions.
Please forgive me if I come off ignorant, but I am a user/buyer not a maker.
Was the edge of the blade done as a Damascus with a hamon? Or was it designed like that with a different piece of steel that was welded to the Damascus?
I remember seeing all the work Kuraki put into a basketweave Damascus knife and cannot imagine the man hours involved....

That was an option I had not considered.

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

I was talking to an old guy I used to work with was one of the most uptight, angry and stubborn person I've ever met. He's been microdosing psylocibin for a while and he's like a new person.

Constitutionally, you are correct it should be legalized.

My complaints about marijuana legalization is two fold:

1...there is no current test/testing system that allows for rapid testing and accurate results of someone suspected of DUI marijuana that can distinguish between the THC levels in the blood that may or may not be present from prior use and thus no longer impairing driving. This is a market driven issue and as more states legalize, I'm sure something will be developed.

2... There are credible studies that indicate chronic high THC use in teens and young adults causes mental health issues such as bi polar disorder. The human brain does not fully mature until approximately 25, and playing with chemicals while something is in development is a good way to skew the development. Additionally, when you legalize something, you will create a monetary gain for those who are capable of increasing the yield of the product. Since marijuana has been legalized in many states, the chemists and botanists have gotten involved in boosting the THC levels of marijuana.

I realize these studies are currently controversial, but it is something to consider.

Once those two issues get resolved, I'm fine.

Granted I'm on the other side of the fence than you are...but you're not wrong per se.
