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

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WICOUNSEL: Yeah, but you probably left the sharpie out on purpose as a test. See if he would win the Future Designer Scholarship. I had a kitchen drawer that I threw pocket carry stuff in every day. There were tons of pens and Sharpies in there. He snuck one out... |

LOL, but not necessarily a job.
Reviewing an applicant recently, everything was going great until we asked for a copy of the person's trasncripts. If you can't be bothered to get better than Ds and Fs at community college, can't be bothered to hire you. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DFARM: I used to prefer it for my assisted knives, but I think that since I've been away from it for awhile I lost that loving feeling lol I have ever only had one Benchmade myself (still have it actually. It's in a black bag in a black box in my safe. It hasn't seen much pocket time. I've also owned an Ozark trail knife. I had a two day trip for work one time that I didn't need to bring tools for so I decided to try just taking a carry on bag. First stop after checking in to the hotel was Walmart and I grabbed one of the $1 Ozark trail knives. I spent a little time in my hotel room sharpening it on the bottom of a coffee cup and carried it on the job the next day. It worked ok the couple of times I used it and I didn't feel the slightest bit bad about leaving it in my hotel room when I checked out the next day.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SecretSquirell: So you're saying I had the potential to be a lawyer? I would say no, but then I met an attorney who went to law school for home schoolers. He owned his own law firm with other home schooled attorneys who all had correspondence school undergrad degrees. He was sanctioned numerous times in a single matter I was on for doing the same thing over and over that the judge kept reprimanding him on. He just didn't get it (the law). Or the lady that kept getting caught up in her own lies to the judge. She was eventually disbarred. The list goes on. So yes, I guess the potential is in everyone. To become one at least. |

I picked this up on a vague recollection that sywagon (does anyone remember that guy) said it was good.
Not bad for the price. Smooth with a bite at the back. Reminds me of the Evan Williams BiB, but a rye. Would be nice if there was a little more spice like Sazerac, but it is beating the HW Double Rye right now.

I'm not in school this week because I took it off for hunting. You can't get both the background and the foreground in focus without a high f-stop, which requires a lot of light or a long exposure and a tripod (or use a timer and set it down). You can fairly easily get the phone to focus on the knife (just tap the screen where it is) but then the background will be blurry instead without more depth of field. |
