Thank you all for birthdate email

I have been politicking. Two of candidates I endorsed won.

I was expecting a D'allara Droppoint handmade and signed by the owner of Spyderco.

The D'allara Droppoint and the D'allara Rescue best knives for general carry, especially bicycle touring and camping. Honorable mention to the CoPilot ...

burp date party, yea!

Masi Gran Corsa is a road race bike. I have a tourer. Three in front and eight in rear and granny gears to climb flag poles. Superficial look it may look like a road race bike, drop handlebars, but closer look it is more akin to mountain bike. It has drop bars but wider across the top And it has the ...

Off topic of off color on my birth date!

Happy birthday thanks for wishing me a happy birth date anniversary. I report that I am up early because it's my birthday, and it's voting day. I really don't like the years when voting day is on the anniversary of my birth. There have been terrible crimes committed then. I have not been here for ...

D'Allara Salts

I would have the D'Allara Droppoint and Rescue as Salts; they along with the Ladybug spearpoint (around neck with keys and Leatherman Squirt) and the Ladybug Rescue (in emergency kit) serrated are what I carry daily. I designed a shoulder bag with four pockets to carry the D'Allaras, a flashlight ...

The two D'Allara models: the droppoint blade; the sheepfoot serrated emergency. These can cover most events in town and in country, along with one CoPilot, a Ladybug serrated sheepfoot and Ladybug serrated and plainedged.

I've made more changes

I still carry the 2 DAllara's, sheepfoot and drop point, in my shoulder bag with Leatherman wave, though sometimes I carry the drop point in pocket along with mixed edge Ladybug. In my emergency kit, small otter box, I include a sheepfoot Ladybug. The Co-Pilot is now part of my medic's field kit.

Perfect knives

I have to amend my previous post. I don't carry the Delica; it does not feel comfortable in my hands. The D'Allaras fit perfectly, comfortably. Strangely the Ladybug fits comfortably. I will keep the Delica at home. I like its design except for how the hand fits my hands. It is not the size of the ...

may be a tongue in cheek proposal but

why not make a knife, non-locking, with a separate lock to prevent it from folding and severing several fingers (i like assonance). It would not be a locking knife, but would have an easily attached lock for the protection of the user.

I am not a designer but the knife would have a hole near the ...

Perhaps, but differences in demographics may play a role too. The population of Alabama is 4,600,000 and its area is 52,423 sq. miles. That gives it a population density of just under 88 people per square mile. On the other hand, the population of NYC is 8,200,000 packed into a mere 301 square ...

right to bear arms doesn't cover knives? how about

swords and spears, are they covered?

In a confrontation I dont think of using knives; I wasn't trained to fight with knives. I am an incompetent with knives as weapons. A cane is a better weapon for defense. I am a trained stick fighter.

I carry two D'Allara's, the drop point and the serrated ...

Perfect knives

D'Allara Drop Point PlainEdge, D'Allara Rescue Sheepfoot Serrated, Delica 3 combo edge, and Ladybug Sheepfoot Serrated I carry with me all the time. These, along with a custom Kelgin survival knife made by Paula, are my survival array.
I carry when I travel by train or bike an otter box with ...
