Pics of "real users"

Post by Medic »

Well, I am tired of seeing show case queens... lets see your real users. I ended up selling all my spydercos but just couldn't part with my very first purchase, a caly 3 PE. I've carried it every single day for over a year. Heres how it looks.

If you use the closed blade to open a bottle, you wont ruin your handle ;)

The spine of a opened blade works fine too.

After 5 and 2.5 years i send my native 3 & D4W to a good custom maker . They came back new :eek: . No need for replacing. 40 bucks for 2 restored knives sounds like a bargain to me. 2 cents imo.

or a dollar bic. I also find it nice to always have a bottle opener on my key chains opposed to using my $150 blade. I guess Im a hypocrite, I have used my wave a time or 2 :p

I am too tempted to smoke when I have a lighter on me, it just reminds me of smoking so I dont carry fire. And I also dont like to have my keys/car on me when I am drinking :)
