I don't want one I don't want one I don't want one I don't want one.

There. That ought to keep it at bay for the next week.

Today's the ubiquitous C36. I can't do without it.

i've been pairing these two a lot lately when i don't carry my caribbean. i have to say, as much as i love my spydercos, the avispa always makes me feel like an idiot for paying more than $50 for a folding knife. it's perfectly capable and a great design. i'm thinking about picking up a second one....

Because they're French and still kickass.

I’m curious if this trend in low-grit edges is causing people to reevaluate S30V. That steel is now seen as “boring”, but I hear it responds well to coarse grits. So, any newfound love for S30V?

I think Larrin's edge testing contributed to S30V's newest spike in popularity.

Sometimes I wonder why I ever polish over 500 grit . Edge longevity takes such a hard hit stepping up from 400 grit to the 1,000 grit range, and past that I feel like I need to sharpen daily. Saw the same thing in my 10" Victorinox chef knife. I've tried a raw 200 grit diamond edge, medium shaprmak...

Edit as my usual supplier told me they're remaking their Tops assortment : Desert Nomad out of inventory, so I swapped my order to a Hults small axe, a Silky Gomboy, a puck and a monocular for a small extra dough. Looking forward to trying these out on my next overnighter :D Might try to live with a...

But there are quite a few words in our dialect for which there are just no real equivalents in high German. Are there identical words with different meanings? In English, these are some of my favorites. A toboggan, for example is a sled for use on snow (generally recreationally, by children) in mos...

Makes me want to roam around there immediately.. :) Aaand now I can't help but picture you skittering around on those rocks like ...

When out and about, it's usually the TOPS Tanimboca on my belt or in my kitbag, and the Millie in my pocket. https://files.catbox.moe/e4fdp4.jpg In an everyday setting, because I always carry two blades, the Millie (again) in my pocket, and a Higonokami in my pack as a secondary. Will edit later wit...

"Either" vs "too" vs "also" Like in: "I own an Endura too"; "I own an Endura either" "I also own an Endura" "I own an Endura also" - When/how to use which term? ‘I own an Endura too’ is a little ambiguous as it could mean either ‘I own an Endura like you do’, or, ‘I also own an Endura (as well as a...

Military fans, what's your favorite task where 4" of blade comes handy?

I wonder if a purple dlt Cruwear is in the works

Literally every task with a knife as comfortable as this one. Food prep and dicing greens is the one thing it is really bad at.

Woah, EMGs! You like it heavy, right? ;) ;) It's EMG81 bridge and 85 neck ;) DSC_0843.JPG Cool! :) Though i personally have never been really into active pickups... and so my favorite is still Seymour Duncans ultra classic Rock combination '59 (SH1) neck and JB (SH4) bridge..in a decent mahagony / ...

The only SE Spydie I want. It's a beaut.

I forget that's what a brand new carbon Opinel looks like.
Mine are a 'tad' worn

🎶Guess who's back🎶 Cool! :) But: "Back" like in: You have a Millie in your life again (a NEW one) Or: A Millie you already had was gone and is back again? EDIT: Actually, looking at the Millie in your pic I figure it is brand new.. Haha none of the above I'm afraid ! It's the same I've had for abou...

Guess who's back

Tenacious with S35VN and blue FRN

Wait, what ? Since when ?

The band that made me fall in love with metal music as a 12-13 year old kid. Still to this day, I think Anselmo is one of the best to ever do it. So much power and passion in his vocals, but also very clear so you can understand the lyrics (which admittedly, a lot of the stuff I listen to...I have ...

https://i.postimg.cc/pTDQ5cpj/20210217-123214-HDR.jpg I've seen that cover art somewhere... Today's a Police day. Put the C36 in the kitchen drawer on a whim yesterday evening. Getting used to switching between both, though the Millie's sturdiness still sways me. https://files.catbox.moe/hdtwfv.jpg...
